Features Falcons done right?

very, very nice!!

 

nice lookin' car. clean!!

 

very nice stance. like it!

 

Just not asking the right people Paul......
Looking at your other views I'd say you've got it a bit high. Will have a look at my wagon tonight & measure the position for you if you like.

 

hey thanks! I found those wheels for 70 bucks. i was going to change it to five lug, but 70 bucks is a little better price

 

my dads hot rod...

 

Very nice sprint.

 

Noob question but what does it mean to nose and deck a falcon?

 

To remove the trim and badges from the hood and trunk lid. One of the previous owners nosed mine.

I did not know that. So my door handles are also removed, what is that called? doored???

 

or a picture from the side would help
thank you

"Doored" that's funny. I've only ever heard of that as having the door handles "shaved." "Shaved" would be the slang term for removing any item of trim or hardware on the outside of the vehicle.

For instance, one of the previous owners also "shaved" the Falcon script and birds off the sides of my car. They left the Futura "darts" on the rear quarters, at least.

Thats it? lol Fancy name for welding pin holes = ) I thought it was going to be something big like frenching headlights on a Merc or something. Thanks

"Doored" haha

 

Shaved is what I've always called it. I took it as shaving any or all molding from a car. I didn't know the hood and trunk had there own term for customizing.

 

Geez.... all this time I thought nosed meant that some of the high crown of the hood was removed and lowered kinda like a nose job and decked meant the same thing but for the trunk.

 

I really dig those rims and the ride of your Sprint! That is badass.

 

The term for that is “pancaked.”

Hey Paul (and anybody else interested)
The measurement from bottom edge of drip rail to bottom edge of visor is 320mm or 12.6"

 

Warren is that a short board hanging on the wall...?

 

Mine was a 66 but I think it had the right stance.

 

does that thing have pickup truck wheels on it?

 

What size and offset wheels are you running? I love the look of americans on a falcon.

 

Here's mine, took the kids to school in it today.

 

Pantera wheels? Looks cool man.

 

May be a little OT... Im looking into picking up a 64 falcon 2 door this weekend that has 90,000 miles on it.... I was wondering where I should look for rot... He says it has a spot in the trunk, but it "doesnt need extensive repair". I havent seen it yet, but im fairly set on buying it. Ive wanted one of these forever!!!

 

Wife's 62 comet




Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics. The interior is just about finished now, black and silver pleats. Now needs lowered...

 

You have a twin here in FLA, only it's a Mercury S-22 and my little English Ford is similar, dig these.



People think my Capri's a Falcon anyway.
