Just bought a 1961 falcon 4-door!
Bought this baby for $400 needs floor pans, door panels, front seat and a few other odds and ends. Not sure how its being redone yet... thinking of a rat rod type... old owner put in a brand new gas tank, starter, brakes, brake lines, distributor, cap, rotor, points, condenser. Got it running and it runs very well! ill get some more pics when i get a chance!








Hole in the floor...






some of the body rust.




Dent!







Scored these tires today for $40 bias ply!




Got bored decited to pint the roof.



Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics! ill get my camera over there when i get time!!!

Re: Just bought a 1961 falcon 4-door!
Congrats! My favorite year falcon.

Reproduction tail light lenses are available and fairly cheap. I might have an extra windshield trim piece laying around. You are talking about the corner piece that covers the screw, right? I'll take a look and see soon as I have some time.

Re: Just bought a 1961 falcon 4-door!
Yeah I've been looking. I like how the nose flows over the grill unlike the 62's. yeah it's the corner piece that covers the screws for the side and top molding. Also need this chrome pieces that hold the door panel on the drivers front door. I snapped some more pics today. Just waiting to get home to put them on here.

Thought I could get those for you too. Then I remembered you have a 4 door and the ones I know of are from a 2 door.

Could they be cut to fit? Since its for a front door it might just be longer?

Oh... Er.... Um..... You're going to have to work fairly hard at that goal...

This is her as she sits after a 28 day restoration I did about 4 years ago..



And I have windshield or rear window trim available somewhere in my shop... I think...

I don't think I'm gonna restore it to original since they made 150k+ of this car. Might be more of a cruiser

Maybe. But you should be able to find them in a wrecking yard some place.
