Falcon Parts For Sale | Ford Falcon Registry	Shine On Me Norm's new adventure in Trimmin' out Falcons in Style A few years back, while at the Falcon National Convention in Connecticut, I was strolling the rows of beautifully restored Falcons, all years and models imagineable, and was impressed by the growing quality of restorations emerging from this band of enthusiastic car-folks. However, if I were to make one suggestion to graduate these cars from sweet to sweeter, it would be to adequately address bright trim. Many of us have experienced bringing home our freshly painted Falcon from the body shop (or, in the case of a few select club members, their own garage), so excited at the transformation that has taken place. Yet, we often fail to realize, that these modest cars had very little “ornamentation” compared to the stellar full-sized siblings of the time. When the trim is all re-installed, we find, up against the polished new paint, that WAY more attention is drawn to these trim items than before, and the demand for quality becomes clear. Once thinking that our slightly “blushed” aluminum parts were passable on our previous driver, they now look sheepishly out-of-place, as though the car’s paint is now over-restored for the existing metal trim. Even though the folks at Dearborn Classics and others are pursuing some fine reproductions these days, one is still left with key components which beg to be addressed, including grille, rear trunk trim, taillight buckets, side trim, wheelcovers, and stainless, to mention a few. The big chrome shops do their attempts at quantity jobs, yet most of their clientele become discouraged with re-do’s, lost or damaged parts, and merely an overall lack of communication. More >>
