Good stuff dude! I like 63s and 64s the most. And you'd think we have tons of junkyards in LA, but we just don't. It's annoying. There's simply no room for them.
By the way, for anybody curious, the Falcon below is basically what I'm shooting for. Mine has the same trim, and after a fresh coat of paint it'll be pretty darn close. I'm in love with this car:
mainsoda said: I was expecting to see a guitar too but it's great to have another classic Ford dude hanging around. Plus it gives me a chance to post a pic of my 1970 Galaxie 500. heh heh Your Falcon is cool man, even in the rough the beauty of the design shines through.
Nice Galaxie man! Any car that The Rev. references is ok in my book. 
And you're definitely right, the car is rough at the moment. But in 2-3 years, this'll be one beautiful car. I already think it is, but everybody will soon enough. 
L.A huh?
I read lots of Bukowski, and I kinda feel fond of the town now.
I'm sorry to say I've not heard of him. Writer I assume, what's he write about?
And L.A. is a great town, easily my favorite in the country. Where I live is nigh perfect. Disregard the car in this picture and look behind it on those cliffs. So damn pretty. I'm lucky enough to see this stuff every day (no thanks to myself but to my parents).
Just hope I can afford to buy a house here soon.
Just looked Bukowski up on Wikipedia:
"Died March 9, 1994 (aged 73) San Pedro, California, USA"
I love the man already (San Pedro is my hometown, and seen in many of my pictures in this thread, including ^that one^).
I'll have to read some of his stuff. Any recommendations?
I almost didn't want to bump this because of the recent forum tragedy. I'm still completely stunned by it. Kinda puts things into perspective.
But on topic, I went to a classic car show today here in Santa Cruz, and they had two Falcons there. When I get mine fixed, it'll easily outclass those two. One of them was raised about 4 feet off the ground for Pete's sake. The other one had digital gauges (along with a slew of other annoyances).
Kindof an ego boost.
Big Al- I'd recommend his book, Post Office.
Now go and get it.
Hurry!
Blast from the past! Yes sir, will do. Thanks for the recommendation.
Ha, no problemo man

Since we're on the topic of book recommendations, I'd like to suggest The Third Policeman by Flann O'Brien. It's miraculously funny.
I also must read some Bukowski.. I'm a big fan of early to mid 20th century American authors.
If you havent read it, go get "A Confederacy of Dunces" by John Kennedy Toole.
Some time now since i last read it, but just thinking of that book makes me laugh.
I like them old falcons. This one has been in my life about 25 years.
