    We have had a few set backs on the Falcon build, sickness in the family and stuff. I took a few pictures last weekend and wanted to share. This is engine bay primed and my son spraying the hood hinges.

    Here is a picture of the engine bay of Caleb's Falcon, painted grey. I think it is going to look good when its all back together. It will be different, copper colored 302, copper colored Falcon with a grey engine bay.
