I have a weak spot for Falcons! Great build. Mike Maier is an excellent fabricator as well. I've known him for over 10 years. They made the carbon fiber rear race hatch on my car that is only 6.6lbs without lexan window.

How are the JRi shocks on the street? What spring rates are you running? I'm doing a custom set of them on my Chevelle project. Filip over at Cortex Racing is hooking me up on them.

Sometimes you have too go backwards to move forward.

This build has got me thinking of getting crazy with my 65 Ranchero's suspension. Just did electric power steering. So i'm making upper control arm with 6 degrees caster built in. then I was planing to build spindles using 2010 crown vic wheel hubs.
But now I realize I need to stop and make a plan.
So thank you.

I got a new toy yesterday. Now I can finally get good at TIG.
