The Alkimiya
of turning a simple
Ford Falcon Coupé
into
a replica of the
'Interceptor' Pursuit Special
from the original,
Mad Max movie.
Continuing with our pictorial exposé of this Simple Vehicular Transformation...
A final dusting and buffing is always irresistable ....
Rub a dub-dub.. :-) :-) :-)
Woo-Hoooh... does that look nice or what!! Just like a black mirror... and there's no wax polish yet.. that goes on last when the whole thing is put back together!
The owner contemplates the hard yacka to come.. All that re-assembly work to complete.. Whilst the overworked painter lights a well earned smoke, and sings quietly to himself...
"Strike another match go start anew... and, it's All Over Now Baby Blue"
Now the Beasty is back in Gordon's yard. Doesn't she look Super. Centre background, the brick building is Bob's shed where we did the work.
The lads push Grant's Falcon Coupé out to make room for this Interceptor. This red one is an example of what this Australian Ford was like before Mad Max got his paws on Henry's design!! ;-) :) :)
And so, it looks like it's all over bar the shouting now..
The cover is taken off the red car for a final photo opportunity.
And so you see Henry old chap...
Anything you can do I can do better,
I can do anything better than you.
And the car sits safely side by side with another one. The one on the right goes to America shortly, and the one I painted on the left is supposed to be ready next weekend for a Car Show. When it's finished I'll add a couple of final shots to complete the picture..
And so... "Mine is better than yours" he thought quietly to himself.
Coming soon... Shots of the finished car, as soon as it is finished.
For anyone who might be interested in keeping up with the progress of the project after that, or if you might wish to offer Gordon a huge sum of money for the finished article, I suggest you check his website here....
