Making progress on the XC Falcon Panel Van #10 Magnum Force 

Howard, always was , always will be, one of the GOATS, of car building.

Wow! The roof looks like it has a black liquid in it. Stunning!

the attention to detail on the smallest of sections is what makes all your builds on a level above most. this van when its finished will probably be at show car level, always good watching what you do and how you work around the factory imperfections to make them better,

Sure knows how to build a car, looking forward to more, and the completion! Great work, Howard!

The trial and fitting stuff - just part of what makes the final product so good. Old enough to remember staring at the pages of street machine and admiring these fabulously built fords. The days of riding the push bike to a news agent.

And that my friends was just a small piece in a very large puzzle. Looking good Howard.

Great to view the process ⚡️thank you Howard and team👍🇦🇺

Excellent video mate. Ive been looking forward to this. Very complex job replacing that roof skin, but you have it all under control.

This video has made my week, so happy to see you back on the van. I have a feeling your driver may still win a few trophies.

Good to see the you and Darren back on the panel Van, a lot more work than meets the eye! Pre fitting is King! The Boys at Ford loved that lead! Howard been an ex Chippy ""don't choke your hammer"" my dad would have said! Bill Mc

I love the editing

All in the detail, beautiful work, 😎 looking forward to the next episode 👍🤩

Great show to watch especially the window corners

Nice work Howard. It will have the cleanest drip rails, window mouldings and roof panels. Better than factory.

The underside of that roof skin looks amazing, will sort of be a a shame to put in a roof lining.

Great to see ya back on the van

Great show as always. the van's looking great.

Looking brilliant Howard, decided on a colour yet ? Have a great weekend coming 🍻🍻🇦🇺🇦🇺🤝🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🌧🌧🏔🏔

Fantastic Thanks Howard

Good work mate.

Love it

Coming along nicely mate 👌👌

There is a few things wrong Howard and totally understand you are learning. The shell should be braced on a rack when removing such a big turret. The car is on a rotisserie. Now it’s welded back on in this position and the lead wipe join is also welded on. this will be hardened joins. You are better of fiberglass filling these areas like you do. The turret should have been welded on with the shell braced on a rack or on its wheels. Lead wipe areas are done for a reason from factory for the shell to flex. Hope this helps. Keep up the good work

Nice work love PPG products and like any welding to much heat Is your enemy as spot welding could buckle the roof skin or pull heat dent in the sides as I learnt in my apprenticeship in panel beating great video and very talented Work

Great video Howard! The details you go to is unbelievable! Keep it going! Still golfing?

great work , as always . I understand your restoring this to original , curious about instead of welding the roof skin on could you have used panel bond ? I've seen guys do it on all sorts of panels , just looking for your thoughts , spot weld vs panel bond for reinstalling panels

Rookie question, but with the windscreen mouldings, why did you fit them without the glass dummy fitted. I know some of the older Holdens, the moulding, seal and glass all come out and go back in as one. I did have an old 66 Ute where the previous owner filled the gaps in with sickaflex (all hidden behind the mouldings) and it did less than nothing to keep the rain out 😂

What brand spot welder ? I have seen a few sub $1500 ones just wondering if you have ever used the cheap brand ones

Howard, I’ve never seen the side drip rail and the rear drip rail just end like that. Aren’t they joined?

👍🏻🍺👏

Did you build a masterton home I think I wired your house back in the day

how much would you sell this once it's complete

I would love to see this panel van in the original metallic brown again. But I think from memory you said you were going to do it in a different colour ? From William. My RU-vid channel is: Bill's Channel 1987
