New project 1/2 Comet 1/2 Falcon

[sideshow]

Good Idea Mark, I also wanted to ask some questions about the shock towers on your car.
Cant wait to see what this car looks like when its together.

Sounds like I may need to bring some extra $$$$$$$

[383MERC]

Yeah. I may have more than just the few things we spoke about. Like i said, we can look through my parts and try to get together as much of what you need as possible. I have a fair amount of stuff in my barn. I'll have to start looking through some of my boxes to see what i actually have.

Dont worry I will bring cash and an empty truck

It does. The only pics of this swap I have seen have been Ranchero's. No Falcons. Maybe I'm doing it first, doubt it, but at least it will be different.

Many yrs ago there was a guy that ran around this neck of the woods that drove a 59 ranchero with a EDSEL front cap on it !! never got to see it up close other when he drove past,but as he passed by,it was sharp,he kept it clean and shiny and had a set of cragers all polished up,,this was a pretty trk...good luck with your brain child !! it's gonna be nice pop

[383MERC]

There is a guy in this area that has a 63 ranchero with a 63 comet front end on it. The kicker is under the hood. Its got a full custom ford flathead in it! What a comglomeration of stuff! Pretty cool though. Mark

I like the Edsel front end myself....
A guy I work with knows where a 46 ford truck cab is... the kicker is its chopped three inches.
I am thinking old school hot rod/ rat rod with a flathead.....
Flatheads are just cool looking motors....

[popscomet]

GO for IT All decked out a fellow would be hard pressed to find a prettier engine then flat head v8 ford rat rod sounds good......pop

I was getting back into Fox body Mustangs
I have an 89 I am building for the wife and I have an 84GT but I sold it to my friend
This 46 ford truck is looking good real good.
I would much rather have the old cars....

[383MERC]

Wait till you see my wifes mustangs. She has a 89 LX convertible 5.0 with super low miles on it and a 2007 Shelby GT. I think she put a total of about 600 miles on the 89 in the last 3 years. I think it's time to dig her out and put some miles on her. It's gonna be hot tomorrow for your visit up here. I'm going to wake up early to beat the heat and start getting some of the parts out of the rafters. Should be a good time.

Well I have next week off. I hope to get some time with the project...
I am going to need to post some pics. once I get back from 383Merc's house

[sideshow]

OK here are some pics. I got the majority of my front end Thanks to Mark..
I still need a Driverside fender and a better hood... but I test fit everything looks good....

[383MERC]

COOL!! I can't wait to see everything together. Should be one cool hotrod. I'll let you know on those strut rods tomorrow. Mark

[sideshow]

I definatley need a driverside fender. I totally missed a crease above the wheel well and it wont line up for nothing.
The hood can be saved... Thanks again Mark
