Best pics of "Blue Craig"

My kids named the car... that's why it's painted gold but called "blue". I guess originally it was going to be blue...

Here's what she looked like when done. Right before I sold it!

One of the first trips I made in the car. I rolled out to a car show at my work

Another angle. The pearl in the flat clear shines well

I'm trying to capture how the pearl shines

Overall shot in the setting sun. I love the way the color came out

Ride Specs & Info

Ride Nickname:
Blue Craig

Make:
Ford

Model:
Falcon

Year:
1963

Introduction / Overview:

Why Blue Craig? That's what my kids call it plus I plan on painting it blue.UPDATE! It's not going to be blue anymore, as you can see. What do you think? It's GOLD baby!!

Drivetrain:

200ci inline 6cylinder that is stock as far as I know. I think it's from a 78 Ford Fairmont. Single barrel carb but has a long tube header on it. n

The trans was going to be the infamous 4 speed Dagenham, but now I've decided to put in T5 five speed. I have it already and there's parts you can buy to adapt the T5 to Ford inline 6 cylinders.

Chassis:

I have the stock 4 bolt suspension on it with springs cut in the front and 2 inch blocks in the back. No plans to change to 5 lug, at least for now. This ones just a cruiser. It could use some more brakes though!!

Wheels:

Stock 13 inch "peachy orange" steelies... those are gonna be red.

-That's what it had!
Now it'll run black powdercoated 14" steelies with 4-lug chrome spider caps. Just gotta get the tires.

Body:

The paint isis a stock Dupont color I have written down somewhere with some gold pearl over the top. There's 7 stripes that run down the hood and onto the roof. Those were a custom idea from my friend Brian at problemchildkustoms.com

Interioir:

Ick. I want to fix all this, but I need to get the rubber seals fixed first so the car doesn't leak all over the place and let in every kind of dust that blows! I'm pretty sure I'm keeping the bench in front unless I have a pair of buckets fall into my lap.

I heard that back in the day the low riders would paint some design over every scratch that occurred...an idea for blemishes? On the later model IH pickup I had there was a dent in the passenger lower front fender...I slapped the tasmanian devil breaking through a wall sticker over it....and it was cool!

Excellent Wagon, I've always had a soft-spot for the early falcons, had 2 in the past. Problem with early Aussie falcons is massive rust (cursed from birth).
