i am new to the site.

Here is a link to my project. I am building a 65 falcon. I am building the suspension myself with the intent to make it adjustable enough to be a good car for prostreet and pro touring.

i just finished the front suspension. Double a-arm with Fully adjustable UCA and LCA with AFCO double adjustable coilovers. the front tire has a max size of 245 but that is plenty for a 2700lb car. The rear will be a three link with watts link.

The motor is a 289 with close to 400hp.

let me know what you think

Nice car and also nice work with the front end. I have always liked those Falcons.
Welcome to the site! There are alot of great people here. (seems to be alot of 69 Camaros too:lol: ) I am pretty new here too but already feel "at home".
Do you have any pics of the engine bay or the rear suspension set up?

Yup, that's a good looking body style. Great little cars. Should be a fun project.

i was able to fit my 95 stang wheels and tires on the front of my falcon, a 245 tire is plenty for the 2700lb car.

65 Falcons FTW! I want one. I like the wheels and the thunderbolt hood.

thank you, its been a long project its all finally coming together.

next is steering then three link, then paint. even building everything myself this has been an expensive project. But i couldnt imagine paying someone else to be creative for me. i am somewhat limited in my designs by the tools i have, but i manage.

the car went to its first show with the new suspension (just a monthly show at a local restraunt). The drive there was great, im really happy with the suspension and handling characteristics. I got many compliments. The car got a once over from a local race shop that competes in the american iron series. He liked the car and the attention to detail. so that makes you feel good!
