When we were at the Historics in Coronado I forgot to mention how much I dig this Falcon. Now I have one more reason to love this car. It just keeps getting better.

And it Runs

Bryce , with getting my car on the road I am currently looking for tyres as the ones I have were some no name brand tyres to allow me carry out the build,what are you running brand wise as I intend to do some track sprints and occasional trip to the local drag strip. I will be needing 235 45 17's for the front and 255/ 275 40 17's for the rear .I checked out some tyre comparisons on tire rack but I would appreciate some feed back from you guys .

I like my falken RT615K tires. 245/45/17 and 275/40/17. But I am interested in the BFG Rivals.

More car parts:


New rear springs, went from 225 to 300lb springs. I am also adding take up springs to ensure the spring is always seated....

New spring stack up on the right coilover.


I finished rebuilding the stock style power steering. This should perform great with my KRC adjustable pump. Everything is painted and ready for install.
