    Nice! Gotta love an orange falcon! Here's mine which is also a work in progress. The falcon just needs the engine pulled one last time so I can paint the engine bay and it needs rhe rear frame rails moved inboard and the rear 3-link suspension installed. Since I'm finishing my maverick in the nextnfew weeks I will store it next winter and put the falcon in the garage so I can finish it. The picture was the day I took it out of the garage and put the maverick in The garage.

    Looking at your pictures and noticing the 3 windows per side, is that normal for 2 door wagons? The center glass makes it look like a 4 door body

    Yeah thats normal for the 2 door wagon, 4 doors have another window behind the middle window that does not roll down so they have 4 windows per side, the center set of windows roll down.

    I guess I should not have said finished pics because I do plan to tint the windows, limo dark in the back and legal tint in the front and besides are you ever really done with a car, always something else you can do

    I used a disc brake set up from a crown vic 91-95 work but there are other options that work as well a little research on the web will give you alternatives. The set up was very easy to install and has emergency brake set up as well main issue I ran across was getting correct fittings and getting front to rear bias on the brakes correct. You will also need a small shim to go between bearing and housing
