That engine is unbelievable, I love the body, upholstery and paint but that dash sucks. Neat car. Larry

After putting thousands of hours and thousands of dollars into my Falcon over the last two years I look at this car and think "How much money do they have into this thing" and "How much time did it take" and lastly " How in the heck did they get the door gaps and fit so darn perfect". I'll bet they have more money just into the engine than I have into my whole car. Amazing how beautiful they can make a 46 year old car look.

I thought the exact same thing! [AGREE]


How in the heck did they get the door gaps and fit so darn perfect".

Start at the back and work forward and it's not that hard, really. The biggest mistake is trying to fit the door to a misaligned front fender and then getting that to align with the rear quarter. The rear quarter is fixed, so you start there as your reference and move forward and the rest falls into place (usually). This assumes that the rear quater is original and not hacked... like one particular Mustang I know of... :bicker: But I got that one lined up too... eventually. Close enough anyway. Light colored cars the shadow lines and door gaps are far more critical.

Nice Falcon though. Thanks for posting those Patrick. Were you there or were these taken off some other site?

Someone sent those to me a while back. I have a large collection of Falcon photos.

I haven't been but would love to attend Sema sometime.

I've often wondered whether I could get in because I work for a meter manufacturer, but it's always happening during our busy season -- I've never tried. But yeah, just once I'd like to do a trade show where I'm a person walking around instead of the one standing there for hours. Though I guess Home Shows count... But they are not as cool as SEMA would be.
