Sending the 1964 Falcon Sprint off to be painted + more!

been collectiong parts awhile, took the Sprint all apart....having it repainted and adding a BUNCH of new goodies....

Motor out, trans out, Power washer under hood, ready for the body shop....

Thats a clean looking little Falcon, always liked that year.

Do you have any extra long style pressure plates for a 10 inch clutch laying around,I have a diaphram pressure plate in my 65 more door and requires too much pedal effort.

I have the one on the motor I am taking out, you see in the picture, Stu can tell ya, it hooks gooooood, but I am installing a new onew on the new motor...thats the ony one I have.....

It looks like I will have to yank one out of one of the galaxies at Starks,I had to turn in mine for a core and went back later but they did not have my old one. Doug had a diaphram in his wagon and when the throwout bearing took out the pressure plate we put a a 3 fingered back in and the pedal was so much easier to push in.

July 12-14.....







don't need the wood to hold it up now, Trans all in and bolted down....

Looking good John. I thought it was fine with the original paint. I guess it's time to take the Sprint to the next level.

Naw, it had been repainted 1 time, and it was cracking around the rear window/qtr panel area, and was dull and wouldn't polish out, that Arizona heat dried it out...also putting the correct seat covers on it, I bought in Dearborn, and new carpet, and the new motor that New Engine Power built me...it will be more better...as a freind says to me....
