Looks great Roger....... :rocker:
Well - lots of similar pictures, but with more done on it. Pretty much have all the front end on now and tightened up and have started on the back now. Spent a good two hours tonight just to install the "stone deflector" (AKA splash shield) on the tail-end. Love doing those little staples.
Masked of the grille after spending a few hours straightening it up as good as I could and polishing it up as good as it will get. Then sprayed the black masks. Came out pretty good. Spent a good hour trying to figure out why the hood opener lever would not come out the right part of the grille. Clearly there is a 63 and a 62 lever assembly. It is a 63 Ranchero with a 62 grille, so it dawned on me that they probably had a different lever on the 62 to have it come out of the grille off-center. I don't have the 62 lever assembly - so I cut out the center grille bridge. Works fine now. :D
I sprayed Hammerite on the backs of the bumpers to ward off corrosion and mounted the front with lights and finally was able to test all the lighting. Everything works as it should.
Feeling good... :banana:
Looks ALOT better than it did when you first got it. You do nice work....
And you cant beat a garage that comes with its own moving blankets [BOW]
She is a thing of beauty![BOW] I am very happy that the car went to someone with as much passion for the Falcons as you have. I am sure it tested your patients as well as your skills. Now if I can just figure out how to get my delivery into your garage and make you to think it is one of your "daily driver" projects??:D
Nice work.
Thanks guys...
I'm a doctor now, too? I have no patience for patients. So there, their, they're. :ROTFLMAO:Quote:

If it just happened to have about $20,000 left in the glove box, I might be willing to be "fooled" into thinking it was mine and was also only going to be a daily driver. :)Quote:

AwSum! AWSUM!! AWSOME!!! AWSOME!!!!
That was AWESOME Gene. You spent a lot of time on that one...
As I mentioned to Guy, I like posting pictures, so here are some more.
I put the back bumper on last night, followed by installing the inner tailgate panel. Not many of you saw the tailgate on this 'chero, but it looked like someone had put a big block motor in the bed and it had rolled back into the gate. I had to straighten the gate and inner panel - a lot. After putting it all together last night, with new rubber in the corners - it latched like new. I plan to do a bed liner, like Rhino-liner, back there, so even though the inner panel is quite ugly, it'll be fine. Keep an eye out for a better inner panel for me.
Also put on my licence plates and my nifty Pick-n-Pull licence plate frame on the front. That'll look good for a while, but I suspect it will be hard to keep looking good. It's sort of like wire wheels - hard to get at all the nooks and crannies.
Hey there roger did you distort the numbers on the plate? so the falcon theives won't find it ? that will work..jh
Probably not - but don't see the point in helping them either. I've always done this, but nothing keeping people from taking pictures at car shows and posting them on-line after that - so, probably just a futile effort.Quote:

Sex instruction FLARECHERO style!!!!!
They'd have to get on their hands and knees to realize what the top of it says though, the way the bumper is designed....
...no pun intended.
:WHATTHE:
Hey - this is a family site.
See - this is what I mean...
It would work fine on the front bumper though. [thumb]
Wow, you are photo shop wizard too!!! Can you make my delivery look done? Maybe that will get me motivated again.:o
Layers and transparencies are Photoshop 101. But yeah, I'm OK.
But Grasshopper, you must see it done up here [Roger points to his head] and that will be your motivation. But yeah, I could Photoshop it done too....
:)
