Projects 63 Falcon Build Thread - Stockcar for the Street

Your project is one of my favorites of all time, it's going to be a hoot to drive.
Please keep the pictures and comments coming, I look forward to seeing what your doing with it.

Thanks AHotRod! I'm really anxious for that first drive.

 

I like this!! I am looking forward to seeing it done or semi done and on the road sideways!!!

 

Badass Falcon!

 

How did I miss This! Great Build

 

I've had bad luck with stripper too. I found the fastest stripper are those paint stripper pads that look like hard foam. They really cut paint off and don't hurt the metal. I use the 3M roloc style that quickly change on a coarse threaded arbor.

 

Thanks. More progress pics up soon

 

Found this one that looks similar too your build

I found it on page 54 but no more info, it looks like car shows in the Massachusetts & New Hampshire areas

Love the build. Just have fun regardless of the direction you take.

 

that's sweet I love it keep it up cant wait to see the finished product

 

not to mention that coyote motor, will really howl in that little falcon, should be a screamer

 

Ready for the final coat of primer and hope to be spraying color within the next week or two. Tried to go cheap with Summit Racing's Wimbledon White assuming it would be close to the Ford color. It wasn't (see engine compartment). So I had the local paint shop mix some up for me. Picked it and the Rangoon red up today (I'm going with the Wood Brothers colors as several of you suggested).

 

This thing is so trick!,..love it!

 

Awesome! You are making great progress, wish I had my car close to painting. Looking forward to seeing the body finished, its going to look tough!

 

I really like what you are doing here. Looks good and very original.

Digging this build!just noticed you're in Vista. I live in Carlsbad, hopefully I'll see you cruising grand at some point. I'd love to get a closer look at this badass falcon

 

KOOL choice of colors.. Back in the day I was a BIG David Pearson fan... Looking GREAT so far!!! John

 

Just plan Wicked I just Love Her.She looks like Artwork to me Great Job

 

Spent the last few weeks finishing some bodywork on the hood and front fenders, painting jambs and the insides of the doors and other misc. stuff.

 

I've never seen a Falcon done up like yours (stock car style). Cool and different. I'll
want to see more on this one.

 

Pretty darn exciting when it gets to the paint stage! Can't wait to see the end result!

 

Thanks! Feels like I'm turning the corner on this one

 

Yes it's pretty exciting. Your gasser is looking great. I wish I worked that fast.

 

Wow, I cant believe your at the paint stage of your build already!

I need to get a move on, you've given me motivation to get back into the rust repairs

Keep up the great work, loving this project!
