About

Last car I built with my Dad before he passed was a '64 Falcon, I sold the car in order to fund a business 15 years ago. I looked and looked for the car to buy it back, when I could not find it I went looking for another Falcon. Being a huge fan of the 60s bubble styling that was/is popular in Europe I decided to find a '60-'63 car. What I found was this 4 door, 6 cylinder car, standard 3 speed on the tree car.
The idea is to build a rat rod style Pro Touring car, we will see if time permits. Everything but the suspension is done.

The body is straight and has no rust other then light surface rust for a bit of character. The glass is all good, no cracks.

Unfinished things on purpose: There is no headliner, no rear door panels, front door panels are there, good and uncut though they do show 50 years of age, the paint is all original (white) except for the hood that is cut for the velocity stack and painted black. That black paint is rough, taught my three young sons how to sand and spray bomb.
