Oh well, it's my pride and joy anyway----Paid $800 for it about 10 years ago, put a couple tires on it and changed oil a few times, but that's it!!!! Heck, I don't have anything else I'll even take out on a cloudy day!!!

Cloudy day is for sitting and watching some tube . 800 and a few oil changes cool as long as the brakes dont squeal it worth that and more

Geez, I don't even remember 19...... Oh yeah, I was in this strange little country where nobody spoke English and everybody shot at me!!!! Didn't like it, ain't goin' back!!!!!

Budwiser, Jack Daniels, and dope were cheap, though!!!!!!! or so I've been told, I always hung out at the chapel when I wasn't working.....

Bobby, it sez your storage space is full on PM's. so here's the answer to the last one you sent me...

Well, if my feeble memory is correct and it's the original carb on the original engine, could well be a 700 CFM... I'll see if it still has a tag on it in the morning, Denny might know, too..... Hard to say if it's original after all these years.....

Dave email bluestang67@yahoo.com thats empty , and you and Denny know the real specs but i can bolt it on . Lets see sure are alot of blue oval guys about .

Buddy up to momma-son and get the world, get on momma-son's bad side and no boomboom for you!

Looking good, Falcon! What's next on the agenda???

Falcon it is looking good . You going to run all the lines or replace body and work it for steering and engine placement .

Probably brake lines and then mount the drivetrain. Feels good to get to this point!

I bet feeling is great getting to this point . You"ve made alot of head way so keep the pics coming . I know i learn alot and ideas with the line running is allways helpfull. With all the heat this summer now raining the last few weeks garage has been closed .

That frame looks great Falconvan. Nice job.

You guys add to the fun, thanks for the kudos. My snooty non-automotive neighbor looked at it when i rolled it out and said,"All that work you've been doing and that's as far as you got?" I think I'll do a little grinding & hammering about 3am with the garage door open, just for him.

Heck, just let him enjoy his ignorance!!!! He's about the same type as the clowns at the car show who tell you they could build one just like it for $5,000!!!!! No use trying to explain the build process to them, they wouldn't understand anyway!!!!

Amen to that Dave!

Very good looking chasis Falcon, looking really good with great detail. Nicely done.

Thanks Brick,
It's cool to have people who understand my obsession.
