I have set 212, and am working on the ladder frame, have off all next week to work on it. Currently ready to install the A arm supports that I made. I ordered a set of adjustable A arms from Hawk Cars, and from the photo's they look pretty awesome. Chuck told me today that he will offer ball joint plans next month, he is currently about 3/4 the way done. The Falcon info was a thread on the Daytona section of this site. Bruce? who makes fiberglass bodies commented that he uses them. I think he said 4 inches of the top. but I remember for sure it was 4 inches, but maybe off the bottom. If I can get a few measurements from Chuck, I am pretty sure I can find something close in curvature to cut down. I believe standard "sweeps" are used and that would mean something close is out there. There was an episode of "wheeler Dealers in America" where a glass guy cut a Camry windshield to fit an Opel. He said there are only a few shapes out there and its a common thing to do. Check out you tube for more info on how to cut and file the edges. Delaminating could eventually occur but, worth a try. I bought a few things from George and he told me the same thing, only full A arm sets. In the end everyone who is offering them is charging about the same amount of money. Hawk's will be a little more by the time I buy the hiem joints locally. But they look like high quality. I will know in a few weeks when they show up. The non adjustable A arms are 360 pounds or about $478 each plus taxes and lots of shipping.
