Bagging a bird...61 Falcon.
 

Here's the next one on the chopping block...1961 Falcon. Plans are bags, narrowed and stepped control arms and 18" Billet Specialties Vintecs.

I'd be afraid to alter it, but I'm a wussy when it comes to that. Car looks great!

Re: Bagging a bird...61 Falcon.
 

Very cool, that bird is gonna be awesome.

Re: Bagging a bird...61 Falcon.
 

Signing up for another cool build.

Re: Bagging a bird...61 Falcon.
 

Nice! That needs a drop bad! How much drop is in the cards???? Laying frame possibly????? :metal:

Re: Bagging a bird...61 Falcon.
 

Wow, love it. I love the greens and blues used in the 60s... I wish they would use them on cars today.

Re: Bagging a bird...61 Falcon.
 

Jodi will need a scarf and some horn rim glasses to drive that beast!!! lol:lol:

Re: Bagging a bird...61 Falcon.
 

What a creampuff!

What are you going to do for motorvation? 429 CJ?

Re: Bagging a bird...61 Falcon.
 

Wow that's a clean falcon! I wanna see it with bags

Re: Bagging a bird...61 Falcon.
 

I always like those boxy little falcons, with it bagged on 18's you could be tuckin' some serious lug nuts! A 4.6 would make it real fun but doubt it would fit between those shock towers. MustangII clip?

Re: Bagging a bird...61 Falcon.
 

Sad to F-up a car so clean, but even though it's the father of the Mustang, it's not very desirable.

Re: Bagging a bird...61 Falcon.
 

I love that car.... Based on the plans we discussed this thing is going to be killer.

Can't wait to see it.

Re: Bagging a bird...61 Falcon.
 

Update? Have tools been relieved of their comfortable toolboxes and put to work?

Re: Bagging a bird...61 Falcon.
 

Getting around a little after knee surgery. Have added later style upper and lower control arms to get the larger ball joints... pie cut the uppers to eliminate bind. Also had to ream stock spindles to accept the larger ball joints. Installed Global West adjustable strut rods to help align the front end and free up suspension movement. Have TCP bump steer kit that will be modified to work with my early spindles and allow the steering not to bind at full dump. Out back de arched leafs and custom solid aluminum 3 1/2" blocks with a 3 degree taper to help driveline angle. The lower control arm rest on the sub frame at full dump...so this is as low without hacking up the car you can go. Also took 5/8" off rearend while it was out for a little deeper wheel out back. 18" Vintecs almost look small!

now that's looking better already

Re: Bagging a bird...61 Falcon.
 

Looks good!
No way to put a 20" wheel on the back?

Re: Bagging a bird...61 Falcon.
 

F'ing killer Keith!

Another awesome build. Love that color and those vintecs look good. Can't wait to see a complete side shot.

Lolife99... If its like our other ride I don't think there's enough room back there.

Re: Bagging a bird...61 Falcon.
 

Oh man this looks cool!

Re: Bagging a bird...61 Falcon.
 

It's amazing how wheels and stance can transform a car.

Cool stuff, Keith.

Re: Bagging a bird...61 Falcon.
 

Really very cool!!

Re: Bagging a bird...61 Falcon.
 

Amazing. Glad you are making that car more desirable at least. That is what I would do also.

Re: Bagging a bird...61 Falcon.
 

Wow! Soooooooo much easier to start with a clean vehicle. Just do the fun part and not the drudge of rust repair and on and on and on. I need to learn this lesson!

Re: Bagging a bird...61 Falcon.
 

Pushed the bird out of the nest....very dusty but in the daylight for the first time in a few months.

Re: Bagging a bird...61 Falcon.
 

That thing looks awesome!!

Re: Bagging a bird...61 Falcon.
 

So cool, what's left to do?
