1965 Falcon fiberglass front end, airbrushed headlights and grille. I used some Krylon and HOK striping urethanes on this one. I was able to cut a vinyl mask for the grille. Took about four hours counting the faux chrome Falcon script I put on the quarter panels.
I know some are wondering if this wouldn't have been easier with a digital print. The headlights, most definately yes....the grille, I doubt it. Like all fiberglass replicas I've ever run into there were some pretty major differences between the glass one and a stocker....plus who wants to hunt around finding a stock Falcon with a mint grille to photograph Posted by mike meyer (Member # 542) on :

That is sharp. When someone looks at that they will think man that is cool and it's painted.
Or they could have looked at it and said man that is cool owe look it's just a sticker.
Great work!
