BeFord & After

I'm way behind on my posts, as usual, but I was just doing this & since I'm already behind figured I'd go ahead and do a quickie. I've got tons of epic vacation pictures & stories to share, but for today, you get this!!!

First weekend back, and my dad was organizing a car show. Naturally, I went and took the Merkin. There was also all you can eat & soda for a mere $5, so it was pretty good. Bonus, Monster had a booth set up there, selling their energy drinks for $1 each!!! I bought one to drink, and a half dozen more to take home because you can't beat that price. Not a lot of cars, but there did happen to be a very clean Falcon, nearly like mine with the 4 doors, but not the Futura model, a year earlier, and it still had the factory inline 6.

So, my youngest says, "You should take a picture of both of them, and do a half and half!!!" Challenge accepted!!!

The results: Not perfect, but completely plausible. The angle wasn't exactly the same, so the hoods didn't line up too well, but the roof line and the bumpers came out real close!!! Not bad!!! And, of course, the bonus that you can see the original style grille (well, original for 64. The grille is the easiest way to distinguish between the 64 and 65.) and headlights side by side with my mod!!!
