1971 ford xy falcon 500

[michelle]

this is a replica i made of my friend XYHARRY'S 71 xy falcon 500
I used a 69 ford falcon promo that I redid a few years ago
and filled in the original door line and scribed in new ones I also added new door Handles which came from parts boxes I made a new dash for it and found a shifter that was very close to the one my friends car has in my parts boxes I scratch made the rear side windows and a new set of wing windows and a new rear window since the original ones cracked I modified the taillights and trunk lid and front bumper also with putty I fond a set of rims that match the ones on his car in my parts boxes I hand made the replicas of his license plates also
I painted the body rust-oleum 2x gloss brilliant blue and the interior is painted rust-oleum 2x flat black primer I used dead ultra fine tip sharpies and acrylic craft paints to do all the detail paint work
i have a led zeppelin song playing in the background of the video

Doesn't look too bad.  Good job.  One day soon I want to try and get my hands on one of the DDA kits.  They're pricey, but look like they might be worth it.

Nice. Cool color, great wheels, and Led Zeppelin, can't go wrong. Good job.

Thank you 

I to would love to get several of them mainly the custom versions and the factory stock versions of each of the vehicles they make kits of 

but i don’t have any way to order them due to not having credit or debit cards or the type of bank account that can have digital payment services linked to it

Gotcha.  Best thing to do when you decide you want a card is to get one with a limit.  I needed to build some credit so I could get a house.  I got a credit card with a $400 limit on it.  That way, even if it is stolen or compromised they can't do too much damage.  Plus when you dispute the charges banks normally side with you.  I've had my debit card compromised before.  It's something to look into when you do get a bank account.

Thank you so much Michelle, your replica build of my old XY Falcon is spot on. The song you played was a perfect choice as it's my favourite. Again, thank you so much and well done. 

Cheers, 

David. ??

Hi Michelle, l think you’ve done a superb job of modelling David’s XY Falcon. I’d like to see how you build some of the DDA kits available here in Australia, but as you’ve said you can’t get your hands on them. l certainly enjoy checking out the Aussie cars you  do build with what you have available. Keep ’em coming. ??

i did get two set of stripes from a dda ford xw falcon kit from a friend on instagram who lives in south australia the stripe decals  were a set of black ones and set of yellow ones as they were the ones he did not use for his build and he posted them to me  i will be using a set on a xw falcon i plan to make using  a 3d resin printed xy falcon gtho body which i will have to back date into a xw falcon  gt351 body
