    Default My new/old project!

    This is my 1960 ford falcon tudor wagon.
    its got a 170 I6, 3 speed on the tree,
    runs good'ish
    ive had it since I was twelve and its been a life long project that honestly seems like its not going anywhere SOOOOO,,,

    im thinking of going rat rod with it, somewhat,

    plans,
    mustang front suspension/ disc brakes
    1988-93 Mass air EFI 5.0 HO
    C4 auto tranny with B&M shift kit,

    FLAT/SEMI FLAT BLACK
    red wheels with polished aluminum babymoon hubcaps
    lowered about 2 inches



    any opinions?

    "rat rod" is as annoying as the term "JDM"... It's overused and misused



    Bad ass car though!!!!

    QD I wish I could, Ive had it for years and the body work is just beyond help for me. It would be great to turn this thing back to original OG status and rock out with a tudor white wagon, but I would really just like to get it road worthy at the moment, which probably means skipping on all the mods and just doing about 20 years worth of backdated work haha.

    I understand that, man. At least if it's running, you're enjoying it. Later, QD.
