Features Falcons done right?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by guiseart, Nov 20, 2005.

  1. Is that front apron, under where the bumper would go standard for the 60 model? My 63 doesn't have that and I like the look.
    Does anyone know if it is a bolt on for a 63?

    That's standard for the '60-61 Falcons...the '62 and later versions don't use that type of front end. :(

    To change it out, I've been told over at TFFN that you'll have to have the '60-61 front fenders, radiator support, bumper brackets, and other year-specific parts to make it work....I like the style myself, but I'm not going to change all that crap on my '62 to get it. :cool:

    I'm looking into building more of a custom rolled pan to get the same effect, even if the lower leading edges of the front fenders won't have the nice fade the early birds have.

  3. Thanks Rob. I'm doing a Road Racer kind of style so I think that works really well. Might be worth the trouble.
    Anyone else want to weigh in?

    I'm selling a real nice 65 wagon in the classifieds if you're looking for a cool Falcon.

    Here is my '63. I just finished painting her and redoing all of the interior, with a few more things to do. Just a daily driver, but a lot more fun than my old Subaru, for sure. I got a lot of inspiration from this thread.

  11. I think the stance is PERFECT for a vintage Trans AM car. Couldn't have nailed it better

    Wow. Want to do mine next? That’s gorgeous.

    What’s the story on those taillights? They’re like nothing I’ve seen before.

    Question for the longroof people - rust in the roof? Is rust on the inside of the roof above the doors and windowframes a thing these are known for? So I am talking on the inside of where the drip rail is located...

    Nice work on the photos. The first page alone shows some interesting engine choices. Including... a transverse fitment... front wheel drive? :confused:
