Hey guys us Aussies seem to be taking over. Long time viewer of this forum but have only just registered.
Im building a Pro Touring Style 65 Ford XP Falcon Coupe, 351 Windsor, T56, Comp Engineering 9", 4 link, Air Ride Tech Shockwaves, Tubs, 18x9 and 18x7 Prowheels Jet 5's.
Car is on a rotisserie, but at the moment the car is jigged and braced with a frame table underneath as the entire floor has been removed for New custom Chassis rails, Inner sill replacements and tubs.
The Aussie car seen is years behind the US when it comes to Pro Touring cars so as much advice and help would be really appreciated
Here are some pics of what it once looked like and what it is like now!!!

Welcome, yes the Aussies are joining up. Like the XP one of the old classics. How tight is the engine bay for headers using the 351 windsor?

Cheers Tim

Love the VE SS ute (truck)

That was a clean looking original but I'm sure the PT version of your Falcon is going to look sick. How bout some pics of the Ute also. I wish they would build them over here as a new El Camino SS.

Very nice! That should be a cool project. Those Aussie's are giving us American guys a run for our money! lol
Keep us posted.

Hey Thomo5150, to answer your question, extremely tight, however it can be done, i am planning on running the rrs shock tower notch kit to give clearance for the headers.

CRCRFT78 here are some pics of the ute, its a manual and makes about 445hp. Your right they should be the new el camino ss. Not many peope here like the chevy badges on it but I think it looks heaps better.

Looks like some nice cars. This is a great community with great information.

There isn't anything funny about it no matter how it is phrased. Would you watch a film where someone was swearing your mother/fathers name?

Believe it or not i probably would. I have apologised and will once again, im sorry. However if i recall this is an automotive website not a religious website, so please keep your moral high ground for someone else, i have endured enough o this from my own religious family.

You are absolutely correct this isn't a religious website nor was I making it out to be one, but it is an automotive website with rules against prejorative phrases and comments.

There are young people that are not adults that do view this website.
