Thanks! I went with a polished hoop and satin face I cant wait to get them.

that is going to look sick

Marty,

I should have pics in a few weeks.

So the secret that I have been working on with TCI, I will be using their 4-link cradle as a starting point for my 3-link suspension. It will save me a lot of fabrication time. It will still be heavily modified. Here are some quick mockup pictures. Including some of my other parts for the 3-link.

centerline wheels. 17 x 8 in the front and 17 x 9.5 in the back. Brushed face and polished hoop. they look awesome!

those are gonna looks awesome, great choice! Look forward to seeing more of the suspension setup. :thumbsup:

Wow. Those wheels are way, way cool. :thumbsup:

looking awesome

Thanks guys!

Can't wait to see your cool wheels mounted on the Falcon.

The fronts will bolt right on. The rears will fit after the 3-link and minitub. But monday I am driving up to driverz inc to get the tires mounted. So I will mock up both fronts on one side for the visual.

:thumbsup: Great choice on the rims. Looking forward to more pics:thumbsup:

Here are some mounted pics, no tires yet.

So I modified the valve stems to fit. Now I just need to drive back up to corona and have Jon at driverzinc mount/balance the tires.

Perfect Choice

Here are the rod ends I will be using for my watts links.

I am also building my own aluminum watts cradle and prop.

^^What Marty said. Those wheels looks great on that car.:thumbsup:

So I am working on my TCI cradle modifications and the watts link mount.

The blue piece is the modded TCI cradle.
Gray will be all aluminum.
Light yellow is stock trunk floor.
yellow is steel.

Its not complete yet. But starting to get ideas on paper is the hardest part.

Here is the pics of the installed craddle. Tomorrow I will pull it out and chop it all up. I need to make a few mods to work with my 3-link design.

Very nice.:thumbsup:

Thanks!


I cut the center out of the TCI crossmember, it was nice .156" wall DOM. I got all my datum points laid out and measured yesterday. Since the rear end is currently in the location I want it (correct ride height and centered) I didn't want to change that. Next step is start cutting aluminum for the watts link cradle and bellcrank. This should start coming together quickly now.

I got my watts links rod ends. Aurora blue anodized aluminum. They look awesome and will worke well with the AFCO blue anodized coilovers. All four under 1 lb

I am thinking I may switch all rod ends and link to aluminum. And keep the stronger chromoly ones for drag racing.

Here is the progress.

I got the three link in and the wheels on. I need to massage the inner fender to get more clearance. But I nailed the back space and max width!

All pics are at droop maybe 1.5" to 2" lower than previous ride height. Im still thinking about changing the chassis third link mount.
