Hey Im looking into a 64/ 65 ford falcon build and wanted to see what alternatives are available for new export braces. This is the brace that runs from the back of the engine compartment out to the shock towers on either side. Back in the days of raccoonracing I remember seeing a car that had new tubular braces that loocked great and freed up much needed room.
Anyone know where to find these or something close?

Check out Delta Bay Mustang in Brentwood. He's about the only guy I know that has performance stuff specifically for the Falcon.

Damn, I would love to come check it out but I'm living down south right now. I was thinking I may haveto custom fabricate something but was just seeing if there was something already out there to buy/ copy.

Nice!!! The rear brace is exactly what Im looking for. Im not looking to improve control as much as clean the area up and free up room, so the whole thing wouldn't be necessary but the rear looks great.
Thanks

What would be the problem with building the same look without any joints (one solid piece made with DOM tubing or something)

It seems like a solid piece would be closer to the stock unit and more rigid...
