#RamblinBait. Very nice ‘63. A fun note: the hood scoop is fake, but it doesn’t have to be - I’ll be cutting open the one on mine. Also, putting in LEDs all KITT style, because that’s how I roll.

Oooh. I didn’t know it was Ramblinbait! But I’m glad it is. ^_^

It was gorgeous. Very lovingly restored/modded. I have several more photos. ...I may have been drooling a bit. Heh. Do you have an Instagram?

I do not has Instagrams. Perhaps I should, but I haven’t bothered as yet. My Ranchero is also a ‘63, but I didn’t get it with the original grill and replacements cost All The Money. So, instead, I’m using a grill for a ‘60 and headlight surrounds from a ‘62 to make that fit. So, this grill, but with a bit more sharp edge to the hood:

Here’s a picture of me loosely test-fitting the grill and a ‘72 Mustang bumper:

The hood is “taller” in position, so there’s a gap at the top I need to make an aluminum fill strip for.

How many projects/vehicles do you have? Also... can’t wait to see what it looks like when it’s done. ^_^

Back from a vacation in the UK - I missed your response. (Or is that “responce” -HURR DURR). I’ve just got my DD (old Benz), my Rover, and my Ranchero, though there are in-the-family projects like... oh, 4 other Rovers, more Benzes, an old International heavy truck...

One of the things I did in the UK was pick up parts I’d shipped from British eBay to another opponaut to receive. Taillights - like these:

For the Ranchero, obviously, because they are rad as hell.

One of the first events or places I went was to Brands Hatch for the “Masters Historic Festival”, and I shit you not, the very first race I saw was almost all Mustangs, Falcons, Minis, and Cortinas. (The ‘pre-’66 Touring Car event.) Pic from ‘08 below (not mine):

No ‘63 Falcons, all ‘64/’65 Sprints like so (also not my pic):
