I'll be watching this one... love the 1'st gen Falcons.

I've got a similar project in the works, only I didn't shorten the cab area and the front end is removed completely. I'll be tagging along for sure!

Sounds a little like a shortened Lil' Red Wagon!

Will it have an engine in the rear?

Any photos yet?

Ira you are a mad man. I mean that with the upmost respect . I have been wanting to do a deals wheels take on a modern sports car but I'm not that good so I'll sit here an drool over yours.

that thing is whacked. be interesting to see how you get away with it.

[Qwit Pushin]

Ira, I love this. You are possessed of a rare styrene genius! Keep it going. I've got the pop corn popping!

Couldn't agree more. This is like watching a great movie, where you're riveted to the screen waiting to see what's gonna happen next. Don't forget the butter, Doc'.

[Da_Wolfman]

Crazy!

[Ira]

Another good one, Ira. You are a regular Dr. Frankenshtein! Can't wait to see more.

Thanks Dr.!

Thinking about Weathering this one, may make it a Dirty Off-Road Truck....

[Bartster]

Far be it for a mere mortal to give you advice, but since you asked...I like the weathered Baja 500 idea. I'd like to see you "muddy" something up!

[Ira]

Ira......you are AMAZING!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the kind words John!

[RancheroSteve]

I'm loving this - you have my blessing!

Also, I realize this isn't a factory stock build (haha), but if you don't mind a little "rivet counting" from me: I recommend sanding that lip at the rear of the cab roof flush. All the AMT Rancheros have it, but it ain't right and as the owner of a 1/1, it sticks out like a sore thumb to my eyes. Take a look at a photo of the real thing and you'll soon see what I'm talking about.

[Dr. Cranky]

More Ira, more!

[Ira]

Wow Ira you do crank out the projects this does look interesting.

Yeah, I have been inspired lately... ...Having a lot of Fun!

[Ira]

Another cool DW style build from Ira!

EXCELLENT!

You've inspired me to do a build like this as I've mentioned before...I've got one going, and I'll be watching yours!

Thanks Jeff!

Any progress photos of your Build yet?

[Ira]

Cool project, looking forward to seeing it done.

Thanks John!

Me Too, but it so much Fun Building it...

[Ira]

Wow,I want to get this kit now.

It's a nice kit...

[Ira]

I finally got it (I think). It's going to be one of those weird little things with big tires - like the Willys. Right?

Yeah, Deal's Wheels Style!

[Ira]

Another winner!

Thanks Don!

[Bartster]

This is more fun than the law should allow!!!

[vwrabbit]

And he does it again! Another soon-to-be masterpiece from Ira Picasso!

Tim

[Ira]

You are having to much fun. This is gonna look great.

Love Cutting Up Plastic...Thanks!

[Ira]

As a major Falcon nut, I'm I'm all the way on this one. Already reminds me of the drawings I used to make in school when I really should have been doing something else.

-MJS

That's Funny... I did that too!

[Ira]

That's insane - in a good way! Really creative design. When I saw your fifth photo, I was thinking fill in the wheel wells like an old Nash, but your idea looks cool!

Sam

Thanks for the kind words Sam, Glad you like it!

[Ira]

Ira this is so awesome! I'll be watching for more progress. This is wicked cool.

Thanks so much Mike, I should be posting more photos soon!

[Ira]

Ira, I love this. You are possessed of a rare styrene genius! Keep it going. I've got the pop corn popping!

Thank You Dr.!
