Fred’s resin “race” falcon
« on: September 09, 2023, 03:18:49 PM »
Figured it’s worth a shot to see if anyone had one of the 1964/65 Ford Falcon bodies by Fred’s resin. Or, if anyone knows of another one that was modified with the wheel openings, opened up for a short track race car. I would be interested in that as well. I’m working on Jody Ridley’s 69 Ford falcon and 71 mustang, but wanting sooo bad to build the 64/65 Falcon. Thanks in advance for any help.

That’s a different year but I sure wish they made the one I need. Thanks for the reply.

....Perhaps this will jog your memory....As far as I am aware, this was the only year Falcon body he listed for sale.



There are plenty of the '64/'65 Falcons to be had out there ...you will have to do a small amount of work to make it a plausible stock car body.......

He also did this 1965

I have an amt model king f/x dragster that I could modify the wheel openings, but it has the teardrop hood and I haven’t been able to find a flat hood to fit it.
