James2 Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Just changed things up to look like the 1:1....
Modelcarjedi Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 That is a really cool build!! keith ross
Raul_Perez Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Very nice, James!! I like the suttle weathering!!
lizardlust Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Masterful conversion work so far - the weathering makes it appear delightfully used!! Interesting subject matter as well - when I see Maynard Troyer I automatically think "Modifieds"!!
FordRodnKustom Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 I'm really liking this build James. Please keep us posted on your progress. I'm planning a build of one of Maynard's Falcon asphalt modifieds. Your Ford just might give me the motivation to get going on it!

I'm planning a build of one of Maynard's Falcon asphalt modified. Your Ford just might give me the motivation to get going on it! Thanks Ron, it has been fun. I'll be doing some more detailing and body work until the weather breaks some. I don't want to hurry the paint on this one. I also am doing The Falcon Modified! I purchased all the pieces, resin body, tires and wheels, donor kit and decals. I'll be doing later this year.
FordRodnKustom Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Now that's cool! This is what I've gathered so far for my build. I have a lot of work to do!
James2 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Posted February 29, 2008 Very nice I'll have to save that one... Here are acouple I found, just click...
FordRodnKustom Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Thanks, I didn't have those. Here's a few more for you. Looks like an earlier car, or a track rule thing. Note the front fenders.
James2 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Posted February 29, 2008 I'm not sure. Lancaster had a season where the rules stated the Mods had to run full fenders. Most guys hated that rule and fields droped until they change it back!
MojaveRacer208 Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Very cool thread, to old Falcon and Ford guys like Keith and me!
James2 Posted March 5, 2008 Author Posted March 5, 2008 I have learned that the fendered car was built like that as a Modified. He most have cut the fendres off at a later date!

Thanks for that update James. That's kinda what I thought. Probably somewhere around the mid 60's with the fenders and late 60's to early 70's without, just before the Pinto.
James2 Posted March 6, 2008 Author Posted March 6, 2008 (edited) Thats great, the pinto that started it all! This one even had carpet inside, they were not sure if they would show it or race it. But race it they did and they won. ALOT! My Falcon body came from FRW and is fendered. Maybe I'll do that car to be defferent! http://www.fredsresinworkshop.com/ Edited March 6, 2008 by JAMES2
