    Hello, Roger.

    Cool! It looks like you had great weather while you were there. I am sure that the food was delicious. I love yucca and plantains. That last photo of the old fort is really nice....

    Jeff's muffler

    Hello, Don.

    Comment: Wow! Your car is clean underneath. :WHATTHE:

    The rain stopped.

    It rained almost every day this past May and we received eleven inches for the month. I don't like driving The Wonder Falcon in the rain, so it sat in the garage the whole time. The weather...

    Six-bladed fan.

    The engine temperature in my Falcon gets too hot when I am stuck in stop-and-go traffic during the summer. I interpreted the problem as insufficient air flow when the engine was idling. Logically,...

    1965 wheels

    What size wheels do 1965 Falcons have? My 1963 has 13-inch wheels. 13-inch tires probably would not work too well for drag racing. :)
