This is my first time at posting a pic. Its a 64 Falcon Sprint I just finished. This also my firast attempt at bare metal foil. I had a car like this in 1974, it had a built 260 that I built my self. I use to drag the car. It was a mid 12s car and would almost pull the left front wheel up. If the pic is to big or something elese wrong, please delete it and I will try again. keefus I deleted the pic and will try resize and post here again

I had a '65 Falcon Futura! White with red interior. Loved that car! I'll try to talk you through the posting of pics. When your thread is up, if you'll look to the right side of the red bars at top or bottom, you'll see the word reply. Click on that and the 'reply' page comes up. it has all the options available to use while posting. In the "Add Tags" row of icons, on the second row that starts with the word 'tube', you'll find the fourth one over looks like a little picture. When you click on it, the [/img] tag will show up. Post your picture's URL between those tags and there you have it! For more pics, just click on the picture icon as many times as you have pics. And your pics can be larger than this, too. If you want to change that, just so they stay no larger than 700 x700. Hope this helps! Your Falcon build looks very good! Is that from a Trumpeter kit? How hard was it to build? That's one I don't have yet! You built a nice Falcon.

Thks, Yes it is the Trumpeter kit. It was not that hard of a build because I did not detail the engine. I am going to go back and try my hand at detailing the engine. I ordered some pre wired distributors. I am a Electronic tech, so I have lots of shrink tube and all kinds of small wire. May try building a distributor myself when I get a jig made to guide the drill on the dist. to keep it centered. My next build is a 1970 Mach I Mustang. I was working in the mill and going to school and bought a new one when I was 16 yrs. old. Sold it when I got married and have hated it ever since. What I would give to have that car back. keefus

That was about the worst interpretation of a Pontiac engine I've ran across. I ended up using one of the revell parts pack engines in it and it took a lot of work to get it to fit. Still haven't finished the kit yet. Maybe this winter I'll get around to it. The Falcon looks pretty good though. I got an AMT promo 64 Falcon that I need ta re-do also.
