Mike describes the building of the falcon:
I show the Troyer Pinto kit in the background to prove a point. I knew others would use the decals from that kit for the falcon. Boy was I right. The kit decals actually have 427 CL or cubic litres for engine displacement. Some even used them!! I had mine custom made by Tom Piotrowski of Lancaster NY. The body is resin from Karl Stark's Early Racing Classics. His resin stuff is truly mint and the best around. My cage, crash bars etc are all home built. The chassis is from the 34 FORD EARLY MODIFIED kit. Notice I even offset the engine and rear end. To build one of these you need as many pics from as many angles as possible.

All done!! Decals are on!! I am happy as it turned out nice. All the guys from Troyer engineering have been to George's Diecast shop to see this and I have been offered a lot of money for it. Tom Piotrowski did a great job on those decals. Mike
