Scroungers C.C. 1964 Falcon Drag Car

Shouldn't take too many more $10 for a windshield seal. what, about 2 or three more?

Cole what time you going and coming back tomorrow? I might ride along if possible. I don't have to work Thursday and your young and don't need much sleep. We won't be able to stop for $1 burgers because I promised my alowance to the Machine.

Hey.........I got a "Monte Carlo Bar" for the front of a Falcon/Mustang. It's a brace for the upper suspension, of which you have none, but thought it might help stiffin the front end some. Puddin Head and/or Falcon John should know if it'll help. Also, it's CHROME! Should I bring it along if Cole picks me up?

Bring it with ya. I been trying to think of a way to help support the front of the frame. With the front spring eye on the end of the frame I'm sure there is preaser on it.

I bought this cool old 5" monster tach today. I figured it matched the era of the gasser pretty good. It's an old one but looks to be in super good shape.


Randy Vickers donated this old water temp gauge to the project. I'd like to find some old cups for gauges to mount them on the cowl or dash.

Anyone else coming tomorrow?

We have 50.00 so far for the windshield seal all we need is 10 more bucks. Anyone else willing to help out.
$50.00 for the seal and 10 to ship. I called Green Sales and they don't have one so it will have to be ordered.
For the ones that has offered to help please bring the cash with ya if you come tomorrow. If you don't have it yet it's okay just whenever ya can...

I need to stop down and drop off the lift block from Big Dog. I was suppose to last night but I had something come up.

I must have been sleeping great.. I didn't hear anything. Thanks to everyone who came.

We had a pretty good turnout for a weekday work session. gear oil is in, pullies, starter as well as a few other things went in. The dash and window frame was all sanded down and is waiting for a primer job. We will shoot some paint on the dash and the windshield frame so we can put our windshiels in. By the way we scraped enough cash up last night to buy the rubber seal. We even had 1 cent left over. I ordered the seal when I come in last night. It will be shipped out on Friday he said. Dog brought over some fans, hood pins and a few other goodies as well as some cool flags to hang on the garage walls. Thanks Dennis.

STEVE, THIS MIGHT BE OF SOME HELP.......

Thanks Kevin. We have been trying to figure out what class the Falcon would have ran in if it was 2750 pounds with a 460 and the year was 1969. yea I know the 460 wouldn't have been in it back then. but that's okay. So far we have came up with D/G. Some of the guys over on the CCC forum have been trying to figure it out. Does the D/G class sound right to the rest of you guys?

STEVE, YOU ARE GOIN TO HAVE FULL UPHOLSTERY IN IT ARE'NT YOU? IF YA ARE THAT MIGHT PUT YA BACK IN THE A/G CLASS? STILL STUDYING IT. I'LL BRING DOWN THE COPYS I MADE TO THE PARTY THIS WEEKEND AND GIVE IT TO YA.TO BAD THEY DID'NT HAVE A S/G CLASS......SCROUNGERS/GAS...GET IT?

We are not gonna put the interior back in. It's just going to be stripped down. I know it won't be 100% perfect as far as a vintage racer but we are not that picky. lol

IF YA NOT GOIN FOR THE VINTAGE LOOK....I SAY YA SHOULD JUST PUT S/G ON THE SIDE SAIL PANEL THAT WAY IT WOULD STAND FOR SCROUNGERS/GAS? THAT WAY YOUR NOT RACKIN YOUR BRAIN ON WHAT CLASS TO PUT IT IN.......

I take it the 2750# was the manufacturer's weight, I doubt if you scaled it with the light weight 460 in it. Any how, at 2750 divided by 460 CID comes to 5.978#/CID. That's an A/Gasser. Man, that thing would really have to run to keep up with the crowd back then. S/G is the 9.90 Super Gas class that came about when they did away with Modified Eliminator and the Gas Coupes and Sedans.

We have a little problem. I need a parking spot for a month or so. Does anyone have a space for the gasser untill the end of January?

If we can tarp it up i got one beside my garage untill we want to work on it.

Cool, thanks dog.

what about that weed patch down the street from you :king: i call a yard?

Is anyone interested in another work session on the gasser? Maybe first weekend of Febuary? That's more than a month away. We can work on welding the floors in and get the dash painted so we can get the windshield in.
Depending on how far I get on the 52 we may need garage space to work on it is anyone has one. We could pull it back out after we are done. It's too cold at the garage on the hill. NO HEAT
