            I've got a buddy with a 62 for a daily and a 65 for a project. He's been dying to get the TCI suspension for the 65.

            I'll have to send him the link to your pics to get him motivated on his project.

              Tell him to shoot me a PM, I did not go with the Standard TCI suspension for the Falcon, it is a Mustang II based system and just did not have the specs I was interested in (it would have been a hell of allot easier to go that route.) Instead I used thier Protouring IFS for the mustang/cougar and with the help of the guys over at TCI (awesome dudes to work with) modded the crossmember to fit the narrower Falcon frame rails and got it to all fit. It widended the track up front which made wheel selection a bit of a challenge. In the end I think the effort will be worth it for the better suspension design. I was working with TCI to provide them all of the measurements and alterations via CAD docs so they would have them on-file if someone else wanted to go this route, it is still an ongoing effort.

              The coolest thing to me is the big fat 315's out back, they look killer on such a small car, I loves me some fat rear tires.

                      Took the plunge and cut the hood this weekend, have to build a hood scoop (sort of 68 Shelby KR look) to clear the 4.6 intake. It is rough for now but add in some sheet metal and alittle work and it should polish up nice.

                            Do you have any updates on that??



                            I would post up my Ranchero but I don't know if "lowered too much" would classify as Pro-Touring.

                              Meh, not really. I haven't touched it in months. I am welding the seat risers back in and starting to do the finish welding on the rails now that they are square.

                              Too low is awesome, welcome to the club!!
