I know I would be interested in this sedan, and the wagon, possibly the stude as well.

I would appreciate that grille. I do have everything for the car, including the bumper/grille but It would look better with a separate piece. I knew you guys could sort this thing out. I would like to put the wheel wells back to original, and Tom offered me a nice Ranchero body, but just can't make myself cut it up. If someone has a really trashed one, let me know please. I can use the b-pillar to make it a sedan again as well.

I picked up this 1960 Falcon years ago and now that I have the Ranchero and sedan delivery finished, its time to build this one. I found it painted an ugly brown. After days in the purple pond the brown came off easy but under it was another layer of black, and the original painter sanded the body with what looks like 220 grit before painting it black. The brown paint was so heavy that I never even knew what lay beneath. This is the intriguing thing. I am almost 100% positive that this is a promotional. It has all the little sales pitches on the bottom of the one piece chassis. It is also a curbside model. BUT! ...it is a hardtop. What I originally ass-u-med as someone cutting the b-pillar out to make look like a hardtop is in fact factory molded. Has anyone ever seen this before? We all know that the first Falcon hardtop was 1963.5....so what exactly is this. By the way, if anyone wants to cast the 1960 grill, I would be more than willing to compensate. Also, if someone has an absolutely trashed '61 Ranchero, I need the factory rear quarter panels so I can replace the hogged out wheel openings.

I purchased this Jimmy Flintstone delivery a couple of years ago, and while I have used resin parts and pieces in the past, I felt a complete body a little intimidating. After building the Falcon sedan delivery I am now a little less intimidated. I used a lot from the parts box, and found out I could use more parts...I am ordering a few more bodies now. (If anyone has any build ups, partial built, or bags of parts they want to trade off, let me know) So here I am with a clean body, chassis with what looks like a camaro front clip already installed, and what I think I will need in parts. I have a few pieces soaking in the purple pond also. I am currently figuring out a floor for the bed, and will start with a stepside bed floor....to begin with. I am also not completely sure of wheel/ tire combo yet. The ones on the pic came with the chassis.

Gorgeous Pontiac! Now, about the boat tail Riv in the background. Do you want to get rid of it?

For years I have been trying to make up my mind on buying one of these. After following your build I am definitely getting one now. Great job !

You definitely won that battle. Great looking car! -
That thing turned out amazing! I love these cars and need to pick up a few donor kits for some resin bodies that I have.

AMT F350 restoration
Sam I Am replied to junkyardjeff's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
A kid I went to high school with, his dad had a mint condition one ton camper special, I belive it was a '78 or 9. With that longer wheelbase to move the weight of the camper forward made it handle much better, and moving the spare to the side of the bed with that door to access it was done, IIRC, for a larger auxiliary fuel tank. Those deep dish steel rims with the wider tires made it more stable, and don't forget that extendable rear bumper that would slide out to the end of the camper. A serious factory hauler for sure.
