Glen, I have been following your project with great interest. Looks like you will have some fun with your Falcon. One question I have though, Why did you make a Fiberglass Rear Bumper. I always thought that you would want more weight over the rear (hence mounting the battery in the trunk) for maximum traction. I would think that you would want to keep the steel rear bumper and fab a fiberglass front bumper to maximize weight transfer?

Anyway cool car...

Bob you are right, but the only rear bumper that I have was rusted out and bent up. I looked for quite awhile and could not find a decent one at a reasonable price, so fiberglass is cheap and it was something that I wanted to try my hand at. While getting the weight to the rear is important, reducing overall weight is my main goal. I am trying to come in at under 2800 lbs. I don't think that I will have a problem with weight transfer because of the long ladder bars, in fact if I drop them down to the lowest hole, the intersection point is just to the rear of the front axle. This thing could very well become a wheelstander if my nerves would stand it. The car that I am using as insiration was raced in TX in the late 60's and it had some homemade wheelie bars, I may have to come up with a set before it is overwith.

It's looking a little better.

I still have to get the front sheet metal sprayed.

Glen, the car is looking great! I'm guessing a lot of guys will get to see it from this angle.

Glenn.  Looking good and coming right along.  It would appear that you’re going to be needing that engine before too long.

I had not though of the Sox and Martin cars, there was at least one Ford here in the south that used this scheme.

I don't intend to imply that my car will ever look this good, but mine sure didn't cost as much either.

Ted, yea I'm getting closer, but still waiting on my rich uncle to pass before I give you the go ahead. I had hoped to have it ready for Columbus this year, but it ain't gonna happen. If I don't get with you before, we will finalize the deal at Columbus.

OK I got the fenders painted today, a little better than the rest of the car, as I learned a little more about this paint. This is the first car that I have painted in over 35 years. Now for the fun part, I need a name for the car, I have a few names in mind, but interested in what you guys think. Keep in mind my southern roots and military background, let me know what your idea's are.
