1961 Falcon soft custom
Falcon , as in US Ford Falcon that is....
Had an old "gluebomb" in a box and thought I'd make a Quick restoration and at the same time do some soft customizing to it. The front benchseat has been cut out and will be replaced by two AMT 1965/-66 Mustang seats. Not sure abot the dashboard yet, might swap it for a Mustang dash, or just keep it stock...
OK, here we go, the pics will tell the rest:

Console looks sharp and i do like the wheel combination . With console in, the seats look better than what i remember .

I like where your going with this. The wheels are a great choice what color are you going with for the body?

Re: 1961 Falcon soft custom
Still haven't decided on colour...but, maybe dark red metallic with gold metallic roof could look good???

BINGO!!
That sounds perfect for this model, maybe a little bit of faded red lace over the gold roof?, She is going to be a cool build when done mate.

Re: 1961 Falcon soft custom
I think metallic browns, gold, bronze, coppers etc would also look ok on this era car too

Re: 1961 Falcon soft custom
Done a bit more to this one today/this evening. I have to fix some small "dent's" on the body Before molding the rear roll-pan:
I destroyed the fram for the rear window when breaking away the old window:
I also took away some material (see red line) from the rear portion of the body to make it easier to put on the roll-pan:

Re: 1961 Falcon soft custom
Looking good mate. Starting to remind me of an old survivor custom Falcon that is stashed away not far from my house.
