This bird was totally unmolested (not for long) and in its original state except for the 65/67 Mustang Styled wheels (w/bias ply tires, & white walls), yellow paint (original color was Prairie Bronze), kill switch and after market air conditioning.
I started ordering parts from near and far. A few months later, many weekends, halogen lamps in the dark, a bit of sweat and a few busted knuckles this little bird was starting to get its form.
Brought the new 2.5" Dia. plumbing and chrome tips out the back just like stock, they have a nice throaty tone thanks to the flows (gonna sound even sweeter when we get some cam on line). I spent many hours searching for the right rear deck spolier that was not too obtrusive. Although not traditional with falcons I thought I could pull it off (hell it's my car) A wing was not my style but this low profile fin gave it the edge I was looking for.
Nose sets 2.5" lower than stock due to modified front coils and tire selection.
GT hood pins, Boss spoiler.
