Jay t. Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 I have a 61 Falcon model without a roof and an altered wheelbase Mustang fastback so I figured what the heck. I don't know when it will get done
Custom Mike Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 It actually looks really good in a weird sort of way, keep going!
Jay t. Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 Thanks, it looks better in person. I tried to get a good pic angle but i'm using an ipad for photos.
blazefox Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Fastback falcon cool put the amt 427 under the hood
Snake45 Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 If I were doing that, at this point I'd be tempted to take about a half-inch off the back of the car, and then move the rear wheels forward about a half inch.
Jay t. Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 I don't know what direction to go with this one. Maybe an afx drag car like the early Nova fastback of Houston Platt or a concept car like this Thunderbird
wayne swayze Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Only a suggestion.... move the rear wheelwells forward and stuff the engine compartment full of 427 cammer!!
bobthehobbyguy Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Great start. Looking forward to seeing what direstion you go with it.
Geno Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 I like it as is; after all the 'Stang was based off of the Falcon anyway. Can't wait to see it done.
GerN Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) I would probably make a resin copy of the front wheel openings and replace the rears. That would say "sporty" and lighten the rear quarter, giving better balance. I would not shorten the wheelbase - might even move the rears back a little for a longer look. Try doing some photoshop playing (if you don't have PS, check out GIMP 2 - its great). Edited January 3, 2015 by GerN
Jay t. Posted January 3, 2015 Author Posted January 3, 2015 Thanks for the comments guys. I have seen a few real Falcons with front fender wheel openings grafted onto the rear quarters. It looks good and maybe do that if I do the concept car route for that lighter sporty look. Tommorrow i will glue the roof and cowl in for good and start spreading the bondo.
Chromecop Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Here's what it could look like with front wheelopening in the rear fender!
chunkypeanutbutter Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 I think you should stay with that rear wheel opening but just shove it forward a little bit.
GerN Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Here's a slightly modified copy of Chromecop's version:
Jay t. Posted January 3, 2015 Author Posted January 3, 2015 Thanks for the photoshop work guys. I think that would look good for a drag version. Plenty of room for slicks.
