Re: 1960 Ford Falcon S/S

Started to make a front airdam for the falcon. Since i will be driving without frontbumper i thought the frontend looked kind of naked. What do you think of the spoiler? i think it came out nice in shape and the car looks more race.

Re: 1960 Ford Falcon S/S

Looks good..I love the 61 grille with no front bumper..It looks very tough!..The little chin spoiler is a nice touch.

Re: 1960 Ford Falcon S/S

Nice looking Falcon! I agree with the comment about these projects being a never ending story. I have a never ending project going with my 1961 Falcon. I chose to modify the rear quarters also to clear the Ford nine inch and big wide tires.

Re: 1960 Ford Falcon S/S

natty: seems to me you are beginning to see the end when its painted. Great looking so far.

I`ve havent done much lately because my wife lost her mother a couple a weeks ago. But ive started to paint the inside of fenders so taht i can put them back on.

I`ve also bought me another Falcon project a 60 4dr parts car, that will end as a dragrace only car retiring my 2dr after a couple of years of duty

excuse my bad english
