Okay, so you need floors and quarters. This is do-able. From what can be seen of the clip, it looks in decent shape and the car itself seems very straight. How are the shock towers and aprons? Torque boxes and frame rails?

The car appears to be an 8cyl. and may be a good doner car an I6 if it turns out to be beyond repair. But hey, a free donor car is hard enough to come by as it is, so you can't lose!

Man, I think I'd part the Mustang out and Ebay the parts to finish up the red Falcon.

'64 Falcon



I love cars like that. Don't kill the Mustang. We have done up some nice "parts cars" here, and they are all still on the road.

It's this mustang in the other photo links that may need to be parted out.

EDIT: I removed the image as it was huge and needed re-sizing.

Passenger rear frame rail will need to be replaced entirely (torque box as well) Drivers side will only need a the rear most section replaced. Front frame rails are good. Rockers are good, inner wheelhouses are good. Trunk floors are bad.

It does doesn't it, it is the opposite however as the falcon is down hill of the stang.

Funny how the mind works I looked at the photo and it always looked like the stang was up hill to me so I had to look hard at it to see it the other way.

I really started ripping into the car last night and just when you think you have found all the rot, you find more. Someone had previously replaced the floors and a section of the lower drivers firewall and whoever did it should be shot. I am at a crossroads right now as if I want to even attempt this. I have the Falcon ready to be finished and I can finish her easy compared to what I need to do on this mustang, not to mention the $ I am going to have to buy in parts just to get the stang into a solid chasis.
