Randy Grubbs Garage 10: The Falconer Part 2 

The Falconer Dodici is Randy Grubb’s latest rolling sculpture; a radically new interpretation of the French curve 1937 Delahaye Type 145. The gleaming, muscled surface of the roadster is reminiscent of a WWII P-51 Mustang fighter: its sweeping lines are augmented by visible lapped panels of polished aluminum joined at the seams with flowing lines of rivets.
In the last episode, Part 1 of the Falconer, Randy built the fully-sculpted frame, a wooden form for the body panels, and dropped Ryan Falconer’s 640 hp V-12 racing engine onto the chassis.
Now, in episode #10, Part 2, watch Randy weave the custom headers, form the beautiful body panels, create a rolling chassis that’ll make your jaw drop, fire up the engine for the first time, and hit the road. It’s the sleekest, most reflective car you’ve ever seen with a mirror-like surface that reflects its surroundings, making it a high-gloss chameleon.
The Falconer’s grille is unique in the history of automotive design. It was fashioned after the Tiffany hot glass pulled-feather technique Randy learned as a glass blower.
The Falconer makes its debut at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering in Carmel, California, on Friday, August 19, 2016.
From mind to metal, automotive artist Randy Grubb turns his retro-futuristic fantasies into hard-polished reality in his Pacific Northwest garage. Rated as one of the top fabricators in America by Hot Rod magazine, Randy is the creator of Jay Leno's Tank Car, the Indy Special, the B-702, and Piss'd Off Pete, the DecoLiner, the DecoPods, the Decoson, Bob Maddox's Pulse Jet Lakester, Tim “Frogman” Cotterill's Rocket 3, and now, the Falconer Dodici.
Watch for the upcoming feature on the Falconer by Brandan Gillogly in Hot Rod.
