Gramps46 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Scott Kercher asked me to post his Alan Mann Falcon Sprint. He built it using the Trumpeter kit and did a super job with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamach1 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Very nice. Alan Mann paint colors always look cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 I have an ongoing project based on the Trumpeter Falcon to replicate Bob Johnson's T/A car. Just needs painted (sigh... I hate painting!). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogger44 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Oooh that's going to be nice, JC. I actually kinda dig that custom front end on the orange 67 too. Love seeing all these great looking Falcons guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Wow, a lot of GREAT Falcon models in this thread! Very inspiring! Well done, everyone! At the moment, I only have one built, this gassy thing I did in 1969 when the kit was new. It's probably about due for a restoration, with maybe a little "rescue," but it will remain a time capsule of my teen skills. Maybe I'll get to it this year. Here's one currently sentenced to the Shelf of Doom, a rebuild of a glue bomb AWB funny I started a couple years ago. If I can decide on paint and markings, it probably wouldn't take too much to drag it across the finish line. Possible BOYD candidate for this year? We'll see.... Here's a new project I just got last week, a glue bomb '68 I'm hoping to take back to stock. I've now disassembled it (got the glass out without breaking it) and stripped the body. Except for the hogged out rear wheel openings, the body now looks absolutely pristine. I have a pair of stock seats coming, and I found a source for the taillights and bezels. Now I need to come up with a rear bumper and a hood. This week I scored an eBay "Falcon junkyard" that seems to have enough parts to get three '66-'67 models of some sort out of it. Eagerly awaiting its delivery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That '68 with the butchered wheel wells looks like a lot of work. I'll take it off your hands since you have another cauldron of Falcons already on the way.

In 1968, someone at Ford should have woken up and realized that they had been completely ignoring the sporty compact market while Chevy and Dodge were continuing to sell buttloads of Nova SSs and Dart Sports, respectively.

ChrisBcritter Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Long-running project; when I started it was a current-style street machine - now it's a nostalgic late-'70s street machine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one of these in the project pile that I used the chassis and underhood detail from a '66 Fairlane. But, that was as far as I got with it.

Chromecop Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I had an old 1960 gluebomb which I restored and rebuilt as a mild custom. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Love all the Falcons. I really need to get one. About 2 years ago I was on the hunt for a 63 1/2 1:1 and found this one that was painted Glacier Blue but missed out as it sold very quickly.

chris chabre Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I ended up getting a VERY thorough/nicely detailed diecast funny car cheap at a junk shop, but since I cant stand modern funny car bodies, I had to try a few different bodies on it, the falcon won so far. The plan is to eventually extend the body once I find a few more bodies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted August 17, 2021 Author Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) Not my cup of tea but have you seen the recent Iron Resurrection episode for the '65 Falcon? Edited August 18, 2021 by afx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 There was a nice 64 on Chasing Classic Cars too! Wayne’s friend had one when the they were young, so he bought one close to it and invited his old friend to drive it on a track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
