    Steve, which did you use? That one seems very small.

    Wow! That is amazing. You took the car from the garage scene and spliced in the Heidi background.

    The Falcon sedan delivery looks beautiful.

    I'd love to say I did but truth be told I farmed the interior out to my buddies over at Dahls upholstry. Super great guys and the love powder coating so a bit if horse trading was involved. They seats are very comfy and I love the look.

    I'm one of the "fortunate few" that have ridden in it, and can attest to the "comfy-ness"! Entire interior is very attractive!

    It is a beautiful interior. I am going to have Dahls to some fine tuning on the Comet soon, have heard only good things about them.

    My two kids, small one for the wife and the Delivery for Daddy!!

    Got a lot done today as well. Rain?? Not here, sunshine and 60 degrees. Got my emergency door switch put in, ran all the wires for the stereo system too. A few more small things and I'll have to save up my money for the disc brake swap. Oh it never ends, and I'm glad.

    No ordinary cars?

    I don't know if there is a club sanction about discussing cars other than Falcons, but ... That's a really nice looking little Metropolitan! I bet that your wife gets a lot of comments. Is that a 1957 Nash? I used to see them sometimes while growing up and always thought that they were funny little cars. It is odd how the front fenders cover the front tires.

    It's a 61 and so far every show it have taken it to it won a trophy. Now I have my own car so we'll see if she drives it herself.

    I think as long as there is a falcon in the picture and the conversation turns back to falcons were ok.

    The more I drive the delivery the more I love it. I guess the 5 years to do it are finally paying off. Estimate of fuel mileage is around 20 mpg. Haven't dialed it in yet due to speedo only going up to 42 mph. Found a third member with 3:73 gears and a posi that a customer of mine had built and he didn't like it in his hot rod so I'm picking it up for $300. That should get me scooting. I have a stock 3:00 open in it now.
    That's it for now, hope to see all you at the shows this year!!

    That is still very weird. You should pull it and send it back to the guy who fixed it for you - I'm sure he can fix it.
