    Well some of you know that I have been working on a 64 Falcon 2 door station wagon, I have installed a 289 A code out of a 66 Mustang along with a top loader 4 speed, tubular a arms,disc brakes on all 4 corners and bucket seats that my wife is in the progress of making seat covers for, she also made a headliner for it because the one I ordered was far from fitting right.

    Well I finally got a chance to paint it and it turned out pretty good for a garage paint job, it it a base coat clear coat job done with Omni paint (PPGs lower class line). Hope you like orange because thats the color

    Thanks everybody for the kind words, its sorta hard to open the garage door and see a bright orange Falcon instead of a blue Maverick but the Maverick will be coming home soon and get some more stuff done to it and it may take awhile to get it done so I needed a backup car besides I am just car crazy

    Awesome Falcon, and extra cred for a wagon project (I got a thing for longroofs). Where did you get the 4-speed hump?....I need one for my Falcon Gasser

    Well I was able to take my first cruise in Roadcone (the cars nickname) on my birthday and it was a joy to drive and all the thumbs up I got, it needs a front end alignment which will happen soon but felt good to be back in a stick shift car, with the 2.89 butt gears I figure it will be pretty good on mpg but who cares
