I know, not something I'm proud of. I put them on, but in my defense, it wasn't my decision. It was my grandma's car at the time and she refused to pony up for the real ones.

One more thing to add to the to-do list.

Here's "the to-do list" so far:
17" SS wheels (like the ones that are on it, but 17")
RPM heads & cam
Rollers
MSD distributor
2200+ stall conv.
REAL BRAIDED LINES AND FITTINGS
New upper control arms w/ wedge kit
4 link rear
Air suspension
Disc brake conversion
Custom fab a tach where the temp gauge is
Custom fab a temp and fuel gauge where the fuel gauge is

That's about all I've been able to think of, so far. I'm sure there's going to be more. There always is, right?

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

JS, don't bother with all those "to-do's". I'll give you $300.00 and take over payments.

Beautiful ride.

Welcome to FM, and don't listen to any advice I offer. So far it's all been wrong.

Hi JS
Your grandma's a cool lady to have a ride like that! I don't know which I'd treasure the most, her or the car (actually I think the car would pull a close second). You're more than welcome here. Probably only one person may complain because the car doesn't have a 6 cyl. in it but if you "tickle" FE just right, his foot starts to thump and he won't bite .

Be sure to visit the Falcon pages for any questions you might have. There are some good people there!

Lee

Welcome!

Lee's right you know... I love being tickled...

Nice ride for a non 6 car



FE

P.S. Hey Mikelonis, why does he have NO post count? What's with the N/A thing?

Thanks for the warm reception.

What is with the N/A for the posts? Also, I downloaded a couple pics for my signature and ID, but those aren't showing up either.

Yeah and the time of the posts are off also. It'll work out. Another tip is to keep it real. These guy pounce on people who "talk sauce". It's kinda fun to watch though.

I hear ya. No sauce here. There seems to be a lot less of that on this forum than others I've been on (mainly GM sites, for other cars I've had). However, there's always a few that like putting themselves "in the line of fire". To each their own, as the saying goes.
