father/daughter first car project 62 Falcon

A GREAT thread!!

 

Subscribed! I have a 13 yr old daughter and she is keen do do something liks this too!

 

wow! you guys are bad ass!!!!

 

Cool job and nice work on the hiding gas cap prob save her some money in lost fuel..lol pretty hard to steal your gas when they cant find the cap
has she decided on what colour yet

 

Saw a neat ides for Falcon tail lights the other day. Looked to be stainless steel mixing bowls inserted in the holes with a 59 Caddy bullet lens centered in the bowl.

When lite up the entire bowl was a reflected light from the lens.

 

be proud of that girl dad , she done good and so have you!

 

That is awesome. I had no idea the lines were that cool. Those skills are like superpowers. I am almost 50 and can't weld.

 

it's looking great!

 

Awesome build thread. These are the ones I come here to see.

 

How the hell did I miss this? Awesome work Dante, your daughter is a credit to you, and looks like she knows exactly what she wants from her life. Keep it up!

 

you are a great dad! very cool.

Is there a sale on Lamborginis I am not aware of?? Some sick cars in that shop.

 

Super rad Dante!!

 

Great story.

 

hurry up and FINISH IT!!!! lmao


i love it!!!

 

Awesome thread, great story - family is everything, great build and some awesome eye candy in the back ground. Not sure where to look in each picture - the Falcon or whats lurking behind,...

Just about fell off my chair over that F40 early on,..


Cant wait to see what colour she decides on!

 

nice, can't wait to see it in paint. have you guys decided on a color?

Ive seen some black one's with red interior that look really good. Cesar

 

thanx guys... no she hasn't decided on a color yet. needs to happen real soon though.

 

The Falcon is coming along nicely. It'll be nice when the color is picked and it all comes together.

 

Dude that car is turning out great. You're both lucky to have eachother. Props to you on your daddy skills. Props to her for not only wanting it, but for earning it. Amazing

 

This Falcon is sweet. Really anxious to see the final color choice. The details on this are amazing. Very tastefully done!

 

That's real Bitchin Buddy. I gave my daughter a '62 like yours for her 16th birthday, hoping we'd do pretty much the same. Turns out all she wants to do is point at it and say, "I want this", and "Make it this way". It's kinda' low on my Totem Pole.

 

I had the pleasure of a father and daughter build. My daughter known on the hamb Action Girl did a 51 Chevy sedan. Mustang front,327, turbo and 57 rear. She has been driving the wheels off of it. It was at the Jalopy Showdown last week. Her and I are getting ready to install 54 Merc taillights when she gets back from the Ink and Iron show next week. She will be heavaly involved. Who needs sons ?

 

Father / daughter projects are great.Keep up the good work there Dad.

 

Boy that brought back some memories of my Dad and I. I hope all the other HAMB Dad's are paying attention to you. My Dad is still my hero!

Hope I get to meet you and your daughter someday!

 

This is so dang cool! You're a good guy and she's a great young lady. Good going and please keep up with the updates, thoroughly enjoyable!

 

This is so fantastic! It's exactly what our all girls club the GASOLINE GIRLS is all about: knowing your car inside and out, getting your hands greasy, and LEARNING. How cool to get to do this with her dad!! We're in SOCal, so if she wants to come hang with us, we'd love to have her! We do wrench nights on each others cars, have monthly meetings, go to car shows... and support each other in the learning process. Also... one of our members teaches a monthly FREE seminar at El Camino College in Torrance called "Girls in the Garage." Next one is June 4th and the topic will be upholstery. If she's interested in any of this, have her get in touch with us! www.gasolinegirls.com Can't wait to see the final result!!

 

All about it, this is so cool. Great car for a thrifty driver and a fun car. I love my fFord six in my Ranch wagon, swapping to a v/8 thoughts are very fleeting. Really nice work you guys did, really clean and tasty. Enjoy, you go girl!! ~sololobo~

 

thanx everyone for the kind words. we're both excited to finally get to this stage.

We're both aware of Gasoline Girls & Black Widows C.C your both on my FB friends list.

we have big plans to drive the Falcon to the Lone Star Roundup 2012. she'll drive and i called shotgun.

Boeing Bomber... this are such an easy and fun car to work on. glad to hear that you guys have a family project.

 

Now Jesse and I have a goal! We've been talking about the Roundup for years. Seems like 2012 would be as good a time as any to get down there. Sure would be cool to get the two Falcons and the father daughter, father son builders together. Our ride won't be nearly as pretty as yours. Should be roadworthy at least.

 

Wow, cool thread.
