Aussie 62 Falcon & 1949 Ford Ute

Hi, I haven't posted for quite a while but I thought I would show you guys my 62 falcon. I purchased this car because I was frustrated waiting for my 49 Ford Ute (Ranchero) to be finished by the panel beater.

As I have gone the early falcon-V8 route before, I decided to put a worked 221CI six cylinder in this one & it will be mated to a C10 auto with a stage 2 shift kit. The six is being built at the moment & hopefully should be finished next week.

This is how I bought her

This is NOW !!!!!

The 1949 ute looked like this the last time I saw her last February, I haven't visited because the last time I was so disappointed that the Panel man had not done as much as he led me to believe. I ring him every week & he assures me that all panels have been finished and hopefully it will painted next month.

The front has the arch in the bonnet removed and is straight it will have a straight tube grill, the headlights are frenched and the front window will be but jointed with no rubber. There will be a frenched aerial in the fender.

There a lot of custom work on her, the roll pan, LED lights and the tailgate is now flush with the side panels and hinges are hidden, the rear edge of the wheel arch is rounded following the curve of the body.

Yep it happens here also mate. Usually a buddy doing things in his own time, doing friend,s vehicle,inbetween jobs,or a shop that does poor time management,taking on plenty of work that is beyond capacity One thing I did learn the hard way though. Although our laws here ,now deal with auto dealers who misrepresent vehicles for sale. It appears that in the US., Some states?. You can misrepresent a motor vehicle advertised for sale,and get away with it?........Frank.

This is what we did with the stock six cylinder head.

We made a plate to fit the Holley 350 onto the head.

This is what she looks like now

This is what she will tow
