Couple of pictures from today. Drove it over to a buddies place, where they were having a Saleen meet.

Well after driving it some yesterday, I realized I have a pretty substantial oil leak at the front and rear of the pan. Not sure if it’s the Canton pan or the one piece gasket, but I replaced the gasket today. I’ll give it another try tomorrow.

Looks like I solved the oil pan leak...only to find out that it’s leaking oil from the rear of the intake too!!! D@mn D@mn D@mn!!! I stripped the intake back off and ordered new gaskets and I’ll use a different type of silicone for the ends this time.

My drivers seat upholstery was a bit hammered, so I ordered a pair of new covers for both front seats as my rear seat looks new. They came in today. I still need to redo the door panels and rear quarter panels too. But those are for another day.

I got sidetracked on a new toy, but I’ll get back to the Falcoon once I get this one a little lower and tighter. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0b0c90d998.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f5c0c4c82a.jpg

Cool Falcon... It is amazing to me how popular the square bodies are getting. My 17 year old daughter wants one so bad its not funny.

Thanks Glenn,

I really dig the Falcon a lot because you just don’t see many of them.

And I’m kinda fanatical about squares...I’ve had a dozen or so. I also have several 67-68 C10’s too.

I bought this blue one to sell...probably, as it’s damn near perfect considering it’s age. 1987 R10 swb with fresh 350 tbi, 700r4, power everything (everything for ‘87) and A/C...and it all seems to work well. I drove 160 miles home from sellers house in Georgia without a hiccup.
