not going to dig through 800 posts in the two Falcon threads looking for this; show me what you've done with roundbody (60-63, but especially 62) falcons and rolled front and rear pans. want to ditch the bumpers on my '62 tudor when i radius the rear wheel wells.
the rear is easy, the front is a bitch. the mounts for the strut rods are in the way and needed to be moved if you do a full front roll pan. ill try to dig up the pics of the one i did......
how about radiusing the rear wheel wells using cuts from front fenders? any tips tricks tripups? seen a few finished pics but would like to see some in-progress pics to see HOW it's done.
'60-'61 have a factory rolled pan in the front. Just take off the bumper and fill in the holes. You'll have to roll some sheetmetal around a pole or something for the '62-'63.
Intereated in the RADIUSING wheel wells on the early bird.... Workin' on a '61 Comet which shares most of the tin with Falcon. Open to any useful suggestions for accomplishing. The wheel wells were perforated and I cut and cleaned up to problem areas. > Simple problem I'm working on is Falcon/Comet side reliefs in the Radius... > What to do where radius well cuts across concave relief... I put adverts' out for fender lips but Comet's are different and not easily available Used the front fender for radius template but doesn't really work out simply, on rear panel. HAve Fun...
