Title: Jody Ridley 64 Falcon
Post by: spotter23 on July 11, 2019, 08:28:08 PM
Built this with a Monogram chassis, Trumpeter model kit body, PPP tires and wheels, and Polecat decals. Working on the crew cab tow vehicle, will try to post some photos on the WIP section.

Added under hood shot.......not period correct, just wanted a clean look for this one. Jody ran the Falcon in the early 70's in Georgia and Florida, small block 289-302

Always thought this was a sharp-looking racer, and you made it come to life!  Good job!
