well now I want to see it!!

If you have questions, or need some photos, I should be able to help some (my father is a FORD drag historian of sorts, and I also have a bunch of literature). Interesting fact, the pro stock Mavericks/Comets had Dana 60s in them and factory bench seats when delivered to make legal weight. My father also has his 73 Comet he bought new, and a 71 Maverick he bought to turn into a period correct pro stock tribute car

AMAZING piece or ART!!! Congrats on completing it.. Cant wait to see whats next!!!

bitchin little hot rod!!!

nice tutorial!!!!thank you. Am I the only one not seeing all of the photos in the thread?

been awhile since I checked in....my jaw is on the floor...beautiful as always

PERFECT>>>THAT STANCE IS KILLER!!!!

46-48s looks so good on the ground. Nice work!

may take me a bit as Im running stupid for the next week or so, but Ill see what I can dig up

this was the other roadster I was a crew member for. Car number 2321, Rolling Bones xf/FR

If you look up "Rolling Bones High Speed Division" Im sure youll find some stuff. The car number is "8892" ...the numbers are the bith years of the 3 partners in the car. Bill and Donnie were born in 1948, I was born in 1979, the car being a 32. It started life as a 32 5 window east coast hot rod in the 50s and then was put back on the street by Bill in the late 90s/early 2000s. If you send me an email address, I can send some photos over as well in this photo, Good friend Derek is on the passenger side, Im behind the door with Bill behind me

i was a member of 2 race teams though I also helped a few other friends while out there. I was a partner in a 32 roadster with a small block chevy in it. Went nearly 147 with a hurt sleeved 283..My personal goal out there is 250 in a car/truck I build.

looks awesome! makes me want to get back racing out there...

looks so awesome!!! one of the few 4 doors I actually really like in hot rod form

If youre gonna build a phantom, Id use Malcolm Durhams or the Seaton shaker as my research base. both cars were badass and 2 of the only real competitive chevies in the A/FX class

as others have stated, you could get the dual quads, and the webers on the 289, and you are correct that it would be a B/FX class car. The previous year Comet were very similar in visuals for both A and B/fx classes so if you look at those youll have an idea on what mods were done. Only 2 A/FX falcons were built. All of this Im sure youre aware of haha

look up Littleman_davelohr on instagram. His henry J is killer

Thanks Mike!

my 65..Ive owned her since 95. Bought her at 15. Currently has a 14 to1 289 in it. Just an old street brawler..One of these days Ill finish the hood I moulded back in spring of 05 for it

the side "skirts" are Called Splash Aprons from the factory. Back in the 40s, it was very common to see hot rod Model As still have them on with the fenders removed due to fender laws . Most would drive to the lake bed, pull the fenders and race. you need to pull the body to remove the them The roadster you posted the photo of is owned by my friends Eli And Lisa English

all that work and it does roll....slacker for the record, it looks badass!

wheels are Magnesium, it gets darker with age if they are not polished constantly etc (its actually "corrosion" to an extent).. I actually think it makes a car look meaner with them dark

I remember that one from street rodder! I was about 14 haha

I like the stance!! How much did you end up filing off the tub and rails

LOVE IT!!!!! bobbing the rear fenders?
