Nice car.
but I'm confused. It's a left hand driver. Did they import them to the states?

I have a hard time seeing a Fairlane/Torino in there, and I had a 69 Torino GT coupe.
The roof line and the hubcaps and rims are the only clues I see.

That's because he started with a Falcon. There are build pictures somewhere on here. I bet it gets lots of attention for being different, it turned out great.
1984 Mustang GT owned since 1991 (first car). Mercury Mountaineer GT-40P engine, some suspension mods, currently undergoing a five lug SN95 brake upgrade and more suspension mods. Some minor body and interior mods have been done as well.
2004 GT convertible, 2001 Taurus LX, 1994 F150, 1950 F-1 Ford Pickup
I thought the 68 Falcon was a rebadged Fairlane.
I guess it's more like the four eyed Mustangs and Capris
I knew someone who owned one 20 years ago, but I don't remember the differences between them.

It's great to see it on the road. Awesome work! Definitely get some more pics up ASAP. You know I bet if you offered, the guy from /DRIVE Big Muscle would do a film on your car in a heartbeat. It's just too cool not to.

I had the great fortune to see Navycat and his car at Fabulous Fords Forever. He did a great job on the car and I bet there is no other like it in North America. I think I screwed up and didn't take any pictures - nuts!
Being able to talk to Navycat and see the car was a highlight for me at Knotts.
