Hey guys im moderating the thread for my dad. Here we have a 1964 Ford XP falcon that my dad has had for 20+ years. He has had a fully reconditioned heads and motor blocks and he has had a single carb supercharger. About a year ago we started peicing it together and this is how it went:

So this is how it started out as Yellow and just sitting in weeds with flat tires:
This is the super charger:
And the motor on the stand:
First step was to take the old shot motor out:
Which looks like this:
Next was to put the motor together first to give it the signature Ford Blue paint:
And then we put it fully together and it looked like this:
Next we started the long process of putting the motor in:
And that ended up looking like this:
Side veiw, but we wernt happy with how high it was sitting so a future project is to make a spacer to make it as high as the top window line:
But we diddnt have time to make one before the formal so we just went with it. After checking everything and fitting a dummy fuel can to feed it fuel we started her up for the first time:

Next we had to cut the hole in the bonnet, although we did not want to as they are hard to come by:
And finally came the paint:
And this is how it turned out, pretty well i think for no body work except a small bit of sanding:
But now this is how it sits waiting for us to get her going as she blew a head gasket. The plan is to pull her out this weekend and start getting it ready properly rust and all for the Kaikoura Hop. Here it has the recently purchased shotgun scoop which gives it a mean feel. Will update soon!
