Nice Photos...It's good to see hot rodding is alive and well at the other end of the Americas.

Looks like you are making the best of the engine you have available. It should make those stock straight 6 engines stand up and take notice.

Very nice attention to detail. That's going to be a great ride when you are finished.
Welcome, and please keep us posted on your progress.

Very nice! It looks great.

WOW thats a nice lil ride!!!!

I've always wondered what the Falcon would look like if they never killed it off. Now I know. Crazy, from the sides its the same lines at a '62-'63, but with '80's style lights.

Awesome job on the motor. Looks great.

tanks...yes like you say the chassis for a ford falcon in Argentina is the same that was in the 1961 when the falcon came to Argentina to a end of his fabrication in 1991 with a few modifications only change the motor to a 170 " to 187" 187 xp (extra powered) and the new 188 cid" 221cid" and 221 cid sprint with another head ,cam ,carburettor ,rear axle and the toploader gearbox" with the years change the equipment and exterior and interior but the soul is very iqual like the 61 ...
