Yes, the Cammer car would be better, for sure. Sorry 'bout that. They're both awesome, but, there's no substitute for cubes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting and cool idea! So you'll be removing the rest of the window frames around the perimeter, then? Go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Knockout work, as usual. You have about the squeakiest-clean in-process build style of anybody I've ever seen. Most impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Thanks Bill. The cleanliness of my builds belies the chaos of my work bench. That's why I use the screen behind in my photos. While I was messing with the wheels thought I would open the slots on the fronts. Edited May 3, 2019 by afx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) The back half of the racing interior is complete. The tub I started with is shown on the right. Roll hoop. Edited May 4, 2019 by afx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is certainly a family resemblance Shay, the Falcon being larger however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmodelbuilder Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Cars looking real nice. I have the same kit you are building. Back wheel arches are hacked bad. Need to rebuild them. Lucky you on the new find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same kit you are building. Back wheel arches are hacked bad. Need to rebuild them. Lucky you on the new find. The '67 is my favorite of the Gen 3 Falcons. Unfortunately Brad many of the Falcon kits had their wheel arches hacked up, trying to create the gasser build shown on the box art. Thankfully for the '66 I'm building the wheel arch modifications where minor and I could work around them. Edited May 9, 2019 by afx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afx Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Glad you are enjoying the build Daniel. Haven't had much bench time lately but I have been doing some shopping.

1930fordpickup Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Well this project is soaring right up there with your last Falcon build. That 65 could not have ended up with a better builder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
