That falcon you have has a lot of life left in it. Just want to show you what I did with my 61. It has a strong 302, T-10, straight axle, fenderwell headers, etc. The car was very dangerous because of the unibody construction. It would light the tires at a moments notice (even with traction bars), and would want to turn due to the flexing of the body. I solved this by putting in a 4-bar coil over rear which TCI sells and then building a very strong bolt on sub frame which is shown in the pictures. This solved all the problems and now the car is a joy to drive and hooks like crazy. I just wanted to tell you what worked for me.

Very nice indeed! I have already installed the cross member for the Mustang 2 steering conversion so the straight axle is not in the cards but it sure looks nice with that stance! Im not going to show her a pic of your ride or you would have an exact duplicate running around here In So Cal. I think that sub frame would be the way to go. Im sure I will be fabbing up something like that before its all over. Thanks again for the links... Very nice car.Bob, Bob, & Bob
