The wing looks all wrong. It just doesnt fit the dimensions of the car. 1) It looks like it is too narrow for the car and 2) is the wing installed upside down and facing backwards? Theres just something off about it.

Killer car though. Cant wait to see some video of this thing.

Great eye Chris,, really started to look at it after your post, and yes it was mounted wrong. Not upside down, but backwards. I had my buddy machine the risiers and reposition the holes. I will take some pictures as soon as i get it mounted, but its going to be about 3 inches lower and set back a little bit.

Man this car is awesome. The wing throws it off a bit but only because of where it sits on the car and its shape. I think something a little flatter, set back a bit, lowered a bit, and powder coated black would work.

I do like that Flash, I also found this 65 Falcon, looks very similar, it doesn't look like it has a spoiler of any kind.

I agree with Dave!! And Bill, you've always had really great taste in cars and their looks..... To be honest, that spoiler that came on your new ride just don't cut it JMOHO

The Orange Vette in the background is a buddy of mine - Bruce Leven. That is one bad ass Vette.... He used to race 962's so the Vette is tame in comparison.

Bill -- Love the Falcon -- and I'll just keep my mouth shut on the "wing thing".

Love the car but I'm also a +1 on ditching the spoiler! Just doesn't work with the lines of the car. I love the low pro fabbed spoiler on the top of this page...it would look great... or something like a fabbed up Pro-Stock style spoiler perhaps?
