This is an epic project involving fitting a 2006 Ford XR8 V8 engine & gearbox to a 1956 Ford mainline – along with the firewall, floorpan, dash, seats, ABS & a heap of other parts from the Falcon.

I'll just dump a pile of pictures here for now & will continue updates with details from this point on.

The project has been at the shop for a couple of years but work has been a bit on & off due to various things going on.

Start:

Chassis was sand blasted and repaired, repainted etc:

Body was pretty rotten:

Extensive fabrication work required:

Pretty much all parts hand made by myself at The Lab:

Yes I will be painting it myself as well:

And yes it runs

Updates to follow as more progress is made
