well yeah there's moons too. just thought falcon ones might have happened to be a better fit, but if they need modification i might as well go with moons
'The best engine in the world is a vagina. It can be started with only one finger. It is self-lubricating. It takes any size piston. And it changes it's own oil every four weeks. It is a pity that the management system is so f*$king temperamental.'
haha you already know my personal opinion on that. besides it gets done to too many classics in the states, i just hope yours comes out looking a bit more stylish rather than flashy. what colour are you thinkin of?

I got nothing against Fords...love 'em. Doesn't worry me if folk mix, chop and match bits off any number of cars either. My likes and dislikes are based on style and in most cases, that's linked directly to an era and a period in design - a badge is neither here nor there to me. If it looks cool, good enough.
But there are some pieces that are so distinct in appearance that it's hard to separate them from their original source, some strikingly obvious and others more subtle. The fins on a 57 Chev, the grill of a 34 &*#@...and in the this instance, the caps of an early Falcon. All are immediately recogniseable to people who are around old cars. Personally I don't even think the Falcon caps look so crash hot on a &*#@ (did away with mine), and look really clumsy against the lines of an EK/FB. But that's just me...I'm sure folk would shake their heads at what my XP looks like.
While I love hearing/reading other peoples design ideas, at the end of the day for me, it's each to their own. None of us have to drive any cars except our own.
Old cars...love'em. Great design is simply great design, style is style and most old cars have it to some degree.
And hell, it's my damn EK that's been sitting in the shed for the last 6 months because of one problem after another stopping it from going anywhere. If I have to try diagnosing one more thing, I may have to take to it with a freaking rifle. Right now my &*#@ is the one soldiering on through rain, hail and shine. Even with a clapped out gearbox she was kicking along...and after a short stint in the shop, going great guns.
Lol
