Install parts I already have.... for my 63.5 Falcon Sprint.
-DSE mini tubs
-SOT coilover / 3-link rear suspension.

 

Get sheetmetal done and fire off the engine.

 

Re-install freshened motor…go race.

 

Just driving and enjoying the car

 

Hopefully get the car painted and then begin reassembly.

 

New under dash wiring harness and drive her more.

 

Oh yeah, I should have mentioned that as well...DRIVE!

 

-Figure out what all these parts are for and how they go on the car. 😂
-Spend too much money on parts.

THIS right here is my 2023 plan as well 😅

My goals are:
- Continue to fix some driveability problems, like a flooding carb and a chattering clutch. Found a decrepit motor mount yesterday so that's a start.

- Considering 3 point belts for safety.

- Maybe add a subwoofer. Wish I had run a thicker wire for a bigger amp!

Never knew these existed 😮 I could probably use those with my skyscraper legs. I wonder how troublesome the extra seat height is. The steering wheel is already gigantic to fit your legs under. I suppose moving the seat back helps with that problem though.

 

• Seat Extensions
• Fix two minor leaks
• Dyno tune
• Drive the stinkin' thing finally

 

Engine pull/ refresh & paint.
Steering box rebuild.
Holley sniper/ hyperspark dist,/ FI fuel tank setup.
Maybe see why the heater doesnt blower doesnt work & install stereo/ speakers.

 

• Replace center section/third member and U-joints. It's been clunking and making noise for quite some time. It has the stock 2.79, I'll replace with a 3.25 or 3.40
• Timing chain, gears and front cover
• Send distributor to Dan at Mustang Barn for recurve

 

Transmission rebuild
Alignment completed
New carpet and Dynomat
And hopefully figure out my A/C once and for all, and maybe a. Highway 1 road trip from Fort Bragg to San Diego this summer.

 

My wife is planning on driving it all summer. (that is, if we ever get it back from the upholstery guy, He's had it 3 months for a "2 week " job to rebuild the convertible frame and a new top)

 

Rebuild front suspension and steering
Rebuild steering box
Rebuild transmission
New Leaf Springs
Rebuild rear end

 

Spark plugs and spark plug wires, fuel filter, get trapdoor aquired last year painted and installed to replace plywood with 6 x 9 speakers. Thank you to previous owners (whoever and wherever you are) for never cutting holes in interior trim panels!

 

Winter Projects

Race Car
Change all fluids.
Install new seat harness.
Check alignment...possibly tweak a little.
Check valve lash.
Check and/or replace spark plugs.

'66 GT
Rebuild and install motor.
Replace tires.
Drive.

 

Sounds like a lot, but mainly small stuff I already have the parts for. She didn't really need much this first season after a 10yr reconstruction. I'll have another set of eyes go over the car if I decide to participate in the Power Tour this year, but that's a big IF dependent on what route they pick.

Move to a different front brake pad (didn't like ceramics this summer)
Install Retrosound stereo and speakers
Wrap rear package tray in black canvas material
Install carb spacer
Install electric fan
Install and have painted my Shelby hood
Swap out swaybar bushings
Roll the drivers side rear fender lip I forgot to this summer
Cooling system flush as I think I have too high a concentrate of antifreeze right now
Install rear center passenger seatbelt for rare occasion three people are back there
Install trunk dress up kit
New rear drums

 

Enjoying the car for now, but hopefully by next year install the following:

• SOT watts/3 link
• Strange rear end
• SOT Rear End Housing
• SOT 13/12 Brakes
• Reroute Exhaust
• possibly reroute the ext Fuel Pump/lines if watts get in the way.

 

new 331 or 408 stroker, leaning towards the former. Then installing a TKX or 4R70W but thinking the latter, i want to retain the factory console.

lastly, slapping on some AR 427 cobra wheels.

 

Getting it to it's first start and break in.

 

Same as every year, what’s going to break and how much will i have to layout.!

 

Replace the race seats with performance seats that I can get out of without assistance or humiliation. Tan and not black this time. I'm dealing with people on both sides of the pond trying to get this done, not easy.

And go fast and don't kill as many cones!

 

Two small patches welded in my driver quarter, get the stinking front valance to cooperate with me and then off to bodywork and paint if I can find someone that won't charge what my wallet won't pay. If and when the car is out, new foam and vinyl for the seats, radio refurbished, stainless trim sent out for repair and buffing, engine rebuild and almost forgot I still need to find a transmission. Hopefully later this year the car will be on the road. I'm feeling 50/50 on that right now though.

 

I should replace the non functioning blinker switch inside the steering column...

And fix the C4 transmission leak....
