Helbragga: Post-Apocalypse Project

in my job i am in durham very often

 

Welcome from Oregon. Looks like some decent raw material there!

 

from Northeast Pennsylvania

 

Oddly mad mad is what got me into the idea of looking for a maverick. I did some reading and turns out a falcon xb and a maverick are nearly identical in size. So my plans are to reskin a maverick into a falcon xb "clone" also allows me to use parts that aren't exact dimension interchange like a 2000 mustang rearend

 

The Australian Falcon is bigger than a mav...Its longer/wider and on a totally different platform. Think mid 70's torino and you will have a good idea of the falcons actual size. Not saying it cant be done but...Its not a simple swap over of panels. It will take a fair bit of work. You can allways buy an aussi falcon and have it shipped over...

 

I had gotten curious on the the size when I had noticed how small the car was next to Mel Gibson as I'm the same height as him. And I've never been afraid of sheet metal work

 

And I was planning on using only a few legit falcon pieces. Thanks to how helpful Aussies are by nature I actually got to talk to the guy that did the cars for mad max 4. He's gonna sell me stuff like the tailpanel super cheap. The rest will be a combination of cut down Torino panels and modified aftermarket fox mustang panels

 

Interested in seeing, on paper or in real time, what you have planned for the car

 

To be honest I'm not 100% on the engine. Full cage including through engine bay. Some sort of rack and pinion. 94-03 mustang rear end. Modified fox mustang mach1 hood. 73 xb gt tail panel, side scoops and window trim as a template
