Hey Noddy, your's is looking mean gonna be ready in time for beach hop? I hope so, as for building another one at the moment I'm playing in the 'other' sandpit with the HR, but I have been thinking about tracking my old one down at some stage and trying to get it back

 

Nope - I have enough on my plate with the Beach Hop. Just under 1100 cars entered now.... The Sprint is being done by Richie Orell at Bay Chassis Works in Tauranga - check out his website - Willys and Anglia bodies - http://www.baychassisworks.co.nz/

No hurry to get the Sprint finished - I'm off to the USA in August for 2 1/2 months and will bring back a new toy... or 2!

Noddy

P.S I shouldn't really be talking to you now that you've changed camps!

 

I might as well throw my project pic up here too..

 

He hasn't showed you the more door he hacked up into a two door rag in seven days including paint and upholstery...........ask him about it .

 

Heh Heh - GOTCHA 97!!!!! Check out post number 38 on page 1 of this thread... Your shout at the Blow Out!!!!

Noddy

 

Yeah right like I am going to shout you miserable futura lovers, just because I didn't read through all the three year old posts about coons!!
That Futura of yours gonna be half good by time Ritchie is done!!, just need the front end and steering done then so half of your bucket can ride again!!!

 

No new pics of mine to show.
I tore down my 200 on saturday and have the trans at the shop for a rebuild.
That little 6 looked really good on the inside.
Can't wait to have ot back together!
New rear springs are waiting to go in now too.
I want to put some lowering blocks in the rear, would 3" blocks be too much with 14" rims?
Keep this thread going!

I don't know if you'd call it "right" but here's what I did ( in 1986) with my 63 hardtop. Yes that's a "rumble seat". O.K. so my brain was not solidly formed yet (is it now...) IT WAS FUN!!!.I sold that car while I was on my honeymoon Feb. '87. It went to Michigan I think. I wonder if it survived....

 

dude, that is just beautiful! It sits perfect, I love the lettering.
it's definitely done right! I love the front shot on the grass. I'm actually tempted to do a painting of that. Really nice work, man.

 

that's what I'm running.

 

What the hell...I was gonna wait until I get some color on it, but since everyone else is postin', here's mine:




More to come...

anyone have any more pics/info on this car?

 

I picked up this information from the Falcon board after posting a photo of the car there,,,



I have seen that car on two separate occasions. That picture was taken at the Coronado Speed Festival here in San Diego. He raced in the Group6 races SCCA production vehicle over 2300cc. Paulie (zombie289) on this baord has also seen it and probably knows more than I do about its history. I do know it was built by Holman-Moody for the Pan American endurance races, and it has a HiPo289 with the vintage speed parts. It is also a pretty darn quick little racecar. I have also seen him run at Willow Springs Raceway at an open track event, although he didn't have it painted then and I didn't realise That it was a valuable vintage Holman Moody car. That thing is just plain fun to watch go around the track, and the owner is a really nice guy, too.

 

thanks! i really like the stance of the car and the black looks nice. if I were to build one, I'd want it to look like that. I didn't notice the roll cage at first glance.

 

Thanks for the reply LaGrasta.
Ghostcruiser, does that thing have moss growing on it?
I'll post new pics of mine soon.

Norton....I'm ashamed to say it's mold, from the cedar trees I use as my garage roof (shadetree mechanic)! I've got my '43 GPW jeep under my workshed right now....

That's one reason I wasn't gonna post it yet...I wanna get some paint on it before long....it's coming soon!

Rob

 

I did one a couple years ago..its actually not done yet....but its a little modern for this site, I thought someone put a pic of it in here but I didn't see it knwo, its a 63 1/2 sprint model that I basically skined and built a monocoque floor structure with body mounts hidden in it, full round tube twin rail chassis, Cobra Mustang Modular Ford Racing engine, and a TON of custom mteal work, drip rails cut, flush glass, roll pans, with cut down Mustang styled bumpers, mesh grille sheet metal interior, even headliner, lots of crazy stuff.

 

... and the pictures are where??? Come on - that sounds like a wicked car!

300Racr, you can't post that car without posting the "wow" factor. This is 10 sec falcon, no lie. Ford six bolted to a turbo!

 

Damn, this thread is making me sad! All of these great looking Falcons and warm weather so I can get to work on mine but I broke my damn foot and cant hardly wipe myself with these fucking crutches. Four more weeks and I hope to get her back on the road. Brakes went out over the winter....

 

Yeah, post some pictures and information too, please.

Thanks,
Kurt
