Transforming a Ford Falcon! - Full Custom Garage - Automotive Reality 

Awesome job also nice to see the inspector again ❤

Back around 1972 I took a job near a small town as a repair welder in a gravel pit. I made friends with a few of the locals and one of those fellows had a Falcon Van that could have been a twin to the one shown here. We were out and about on Friday night and admittedly is was an alcohol fueled venture. There were three of us in the van and I was sitting on the engine cover. The fellow who was driving made the decision that it would be a blast to burn some donuts in the centre of town. The first few came off without any fanfare but then he decided that he would giver an extra hard try intent on really lighting it up. So he hammered the power, dropped the clutch, and cranked her hard right. It didn't go well. You see I slid off the engine cover into his lap and he lost control. The upshot was we took out the only set of gas pumps in town. Now it as very late and there was no one around so we left poste haste and the van was hidden away in a barn. Next day there was a lot of conjecture about what had happened but the general consensus was it had been done by hooligans from the next town over. The station was repaired under insurance and everything appeared to be going along just fine. That it until the owner of the station appeared at my buddies door one Sunday morning asking for his $500.00 deductible. Seems he had been sitting in another car too drunk to drive and he had watched the entire performance. The only reason he hadn't said anything is he wanted new pumps since his were literally antiques. My two buddies and I divvied up the $500 and paid the man. Nothing else was ever said.........

Ian's a metal forming guru.!!

Bro I love love love your work brother keep it up

Ian is a legend. This one is mild but still learning stuff.

Rather ingenious, using various parts and pieces in your making of a cool ride.

Wonder how many people know that a falcon is really a mustang at heart

Yay A Ford Falcon 🥰Let’s Go! Love your legit creative project videos! Fans from Australia 🇦🇺

Had one don't remember the year, Same body Style, A Station Wagon, had been rebuilt at one stage, Three speed manual floor shift. Drove it everywhere around Brissy till someone T-Boned me whilst running a stop sign.

Top Show.

Old sckool beats new sckool any day

The Ford stub nose Van's were Tagged as a Econline 1962 Falcon was a care and the car truck was called Rancharo even back then 1960 cool video !

we had these in AustraliIan, they are collector cars now that fetch 6 figures

….. IAN .. !!! Please. Please. Do a segment on the. All your. Finished projects .. PLEASE. !!!

J'adore ton boulot, toujours propre ! 🤟

Something tells me TCI is going to get a lot of orders for this setup after watching this video

This man is a freaking genius or a wizard???

That Ford van was called a Ford Commer, in Australia and in England.

Maybe a better layout … use a piano hinge for the table top attaching it to the drivers side vehicle wall . Make 2-3 small movable chairs that can be stacked and secured when not in use . Having open utilitarian space maybe a better layout . 36:33 36:35

I have really enjoyed this series of your work on the Falcons. I have always liked the Falcon pickup and the Falcon Two Door Hardtop with a Small V* engine. What motor did you put in the Falcon Pickup. I was not clear to me. Keep on Truckin!

If the side view mirrors are round then it is a 60's model

Had one of those in 1974. Lived in California, sold it when I left the state. With I still had it.

ok I see the fab. work what the finish work and paint

🏁💀🏁

Everyone uses Mustnag 2 . For yrs

Older vehicles were built differently from modern cars which doesn't last like older cars

Ian didn't use some other car junk but a brand new "kit"? Who is this guy and what did he do with Ian? I've wanted the truck version of the falcon van, but these vans are 'unsafe at any speed', there is ZERO crash protection.

👍👍👍👍👍🫵🪨

I love your show , but please sand blast any rust , before u patch it up Do a proper restauration , you are so talented, just need to refine

Two different body styles

I believe that they are called Rancheros not Falcons.

Love this show. But cannot stomach Ian’s other RU-vid show with his wife. It moves too slowly too much personal information about their relationship. And it’s just weird. telling you how I feel. I don’t want to discourage anyone. consider this just one date point.

This guy is a total hack!!!
