Where ever they want to use them. So far just on the Falken Tires Web site home page and there Facebook feed. They add a new picture about every 4 hours so they need a ton of cars to keep it interesting. Mike Maier arranged for several of his shop and customer cars to be models at and around the Crows Landing CAM event last month.

Been making some good progress on the bird. Finally finished the metal work from getting rear ended last May. Falcon is stripped down to the OE red oxide primer. Got my JRi's for the pending Mike Maier Inc MOD 2 Rear suspension. My garage paint booth is just about done.

The old girl had 2 full re sprays and at least 3 trips to the body shop. It is time for some new paint and weather stripping.

Repo and NOS trim


Got the body to line up fairly well with the 90's re-chromed bumper.






A gallon of Jaco took it down almost to metal.




JRi's in the front


JRi's for the rear


I just hope I can get it done before the last Optima qualifier in October.

Gonna be a killer ride, man.

October is going to be here before you know it.

You are the god of Falcon's! You CAN do it!


Looking really good Craig!

it is amazing how strong factory primer is. I stripped some 69 sport mirrors and it was allot of effort to get the primer off.

Falcon is going to look sharp with a new coat of paint!

Craig I just re read the thread....there is so much badassery with this car! You've come a long way baby!

I spoke with Mike last week about the Falcon I bought and he mentioned you might have some drawing/ideas....is it to soon to call you the Godfather of Falcons?

Nice work!

Nice work!

Thanks Dan. That falcon you got looks like a nice clean slate to start from. Working with Mike has been pretty good for my car. We work out the geometry and test every think on old blue or one of the other shop cars. Then I tweak the parts just enough to fit my car and design the fixtures to work with both sets of parts.

The new bolt in front suspension he sells is really sweet and we took 20# out of the rear rocker arm set up and made it look a lot better (I am not a fan of billet unless it makes sense).

Craig,
New paint but I see you have some new shocks
Not messing around with just making it pretty
Love it.. would like to get some feedback on
the shocks once you get a chance to test them out

Thanks for the tease, Craig--stay safe (or just a bit happy) with all those fumes!
