    When I replaced the rear quarters, I used the whole section from the 61. I used the drip rail and all the way down the tailgate side all the way to the bottom, around the bottom of the fender and up right about where the original lead solder was put to join the panels. I then followed the lower edge of the rear window all the way up to the window opening for the back glass. I think I have some pics of the part I grafted in I'll post it if I find it. I will see if I can compare the 62 to the 61 in the next day or so. Kind of sucks when you have to go to work in the dark and come home in the dark...

    I just went back to the other thread and see how you cut the 61 parts out and grafted the original delivery sides onto it. You just followed the radii of the 61 and lost some of the bump-out. Me guesses. Anyway, you are stuck now needing the 61 style buckets. Hope you find some. Oh... Steve who finds every Falcon out there... should be no problem.

    There is an ebay reseller (Mom and Pop Falcon... or some such name). Maybe they have some? Falcon Club Newsletter?

    I'd make you a smoking deal.... Mom and Pops has some bucket but they are pretty proud of them. They want $40 for a single and $85 for a pair. I found 1 bucket complete for $40 and a spare lens. DVAP has a bunch I just need them to make it right. We will see. If they do great if not never again and I am not shy about letting people know...

    I cropped the image you posted of the "shallow 63" bucket and this step I marked is not in a shallow bucket. So I think they are deep. If they are, I will get them from you!

    You paid less than $85 from Desert Valley? That's not a bad price if they are good. If they are dinged up, maybe $20 a pair is top-dollar if you just want something to just fill the hole. You want nice and shiny if you can get it and $85 for the pair, if they are nice and shiny... would be fair.

    I wish I only paid that. I paid $150 for the pair and they are junk. Not 1 piece is usable!!!
    The one I got for $40 just got here and it is in almost perfect shape. 2 small nicks in the trim ring. Got it off craig's list.
    I will measure the bucket tonight for you. And on a side note I need to fix some front end parts on the 62 V-8 car. Are the upper and lower control arms the same? Need to fix some bad soft parts and ball joints for the alignment. Thanks.

    The same as... what? 6 versus V8? 62 Falcon versus 66 Mustang?

    As best as I know all 6 cylinder cars of this era used their upper and lower components and most of all V8 versions used theirs. 6's and 8's were not the same parts. Since they didn't have V8 Falcons in 62, and since it sounds like this had the Mustang front-end installed, you should order parts as though it were a Mustang, with the exception of the center-link, which is wider on a Mustang than a Falcon. So you'd want a 65 Falcon center-link.

    Don't quote me on that.

    That $85 is sounding better and better all the time.

    They actually charged you $150 for junk parts. Like; "Hey, we are a junk-yard. That's what you ordered. That's what we shipped. Huh-he."

    Maybe they expect you'll send 'em off to Californ-i-a to be strip-ped, straighten-did, polish-ed, and then reanodize-ed... for $200 a piece.... like everyone else does.

    That is what erks me. I was very specific on the phone with the sales guy. I told him I don't care about the lens but the buckets need to be straight, did not care about the shine on them either, but the trim rings need to be straight. I can shine them myself but to replace missing metal and or dings and smashed pieces???

    As for the steering parts: Yes v-8 vs. 6cyl. I have a ton of 6cyl stuff but the v-8 stuff is scares right now. The center link is good but the tie rod ends are bent. The control arms would have been OK but the control arm shaft (upper) lost its bushings and is wobbling every where. The lowers look fine but if I am going to fix it I may as well do it all... I guess I could use the stuff off the delivery for now and get more new for it?? HMMM Also they said my drivers coil spring was bad. Sits about 1.5" lower than the pass.

    You can get the 62/63 to fit if you keep adding Bondo. Only 1/2" to go.
