19666 Ford Falcon

[DinanDave]

What ever happend to this?

[HWY HNTR]

Love it man. I can never find builds of the 66-70 Falcons. I dont get why people like the round bodied Falcons more. I have a '68 2 door and 69 4 door. Sadly they're 'stored' in a field at my granparents right now. Once the snows gone Im hoping to bring em home tho.





Funny thing is, my grandpa lowered it as it is back in the '80s.

cant wait to see what else you have in store for your old bird.

dude, I would love to have some of those updated items like the bumper and center grill, are those foglights in the front bumper?!

What ever happend to this?

I painted it and took it to a show, my finals are over next week and then I'll make a worthy update

Looks so sweet man! I'm a big old school ford fan, I'm actually planning on dropping my '74 Gran Torino.

More falcon. NOW. I don't care about your "finals".

ok so I've done some stuff to it and have a lot more in store for it, I have somewhat of an idea for what to do with wheels, and once I do my engine swap and get the exhaust sorted out I will lower it. The long tube headers on this engine hang too low (when I had it lower) and would hit everything and I worried about messing up the motor.

so I painted it in my yard





and then drove it to the turkey run in Daytona





but the paint came out too satin for my taste we had put 3 layers of clear but it hadn't looked like it lol. So we wet sanded, buffed it and polished the clear and it came out looking a little better...







I also returned my optima yellow top that wasn't working and got it replaced for free



installed







I'm planning on taking better pictures of the car with my dslr but haven't had the chance to.

also I painted it that weekend of thanksgiving for the show. Drove it to the show. Parked it till finals were over. Took it out around town for the first time christmas week and someone hits it and runs off in the parking lot when I wasn't there. The very first time taking it out after painting it and it gets ran into luckily it didn't do too much damage other than messing up a rear tail light bezel but part of the dudes bumper fell off.

plans are to throw in the motor I'm partially building, get a lip, get the wheels, get the low, get some tint (maybe) and then some other stuff, not in that order.

pic of said motor i'm building





I also have an instagram, godofdeath666 is my handle, I post up a lot of updates there of the engine build as well as my brothers vw stuff and whatnot.

soo...yeah lol

haha you guys drove right by us in the show, when you were checking out my older brothers funny hat I thought maybe you'd see my car and say what's up, but it was a different color and blah so w/e I saw you guys cruising by la playa also with the car going up and down looked killer

(this is him in the hat v)

Damn I wish I had been paying better attention lol

yeah haha, tbh tho I can't believe how dead the nights are getting out there. I remember when I was little and used to go there there was traffic all the way from the track to la playa, but now it's like a ghost town around 10, fuckn sucks. all the old people are dying off I spose...

[montgomery]

Love this car so much.

Yea it seemed kinda tame this year. We rolled out to the Iron Horse one night and it didn't even get real good sadly.

[HWY HNTR]

not much of an update, but

here I am taking a pic at the gas station



and then at a local meet



plans are to buy wheels for it with my tax return money and then swap in new motor, maybe a manny tranny and then lower it a lil bit (after the wheels so it doesn't look so sunk in)

Looks damn good! Try to get the paint to shine more. The inbetween paint style looks weird. Still looks good though!

dude, I would love to have some of those updated items like the bumper and center grill, are those foglights in the front bumper?!

Those are the turn signals, but that does give me an idea for fog light placement now.
I actually planned on making molds of the bumpers and making fiber glass versions. Not sure if they mount the same, but new mounting holes would be easy enough to drill.
I might even have an extra grille or two around here somewhere.
