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.
