Thanks everyone for the comments, I work hard and play hard. The falcon is under a little bit of re construction, But I can assure everyone when its done with its make over your going to be impressed with the outcome. The colors I chosen are a Silver over Yellow with lip stick red pin stripe,s Flames. The engine is a 390 CI, Please note I do all my I own work from, wiring, interior to the final painting, Its just a hobby..... Stay in the peddle untill you see GOD then back off a tad.......
