@sizedoesmatter Thanks..... my red Falcon Sprint is a bit of a custom too. Sprints came with wire wheelcovers, but I'm not a fan of wires, so........ I performed a bit of "wheel surgery." If I were to ever own a 1:1 1963 Falcon hardtop THIS would be exactly what I would want - one exactly like this. 😎 😎 😎 😎

"How the blazes did you get that made?"
I'm not exactly certain to what you're referring to.... On this thread, I've posted about 16 pics of things I've made:
- The proper '63 Chevy Nova SS wheelcovers were lifted from a Welly '63 Impala.
- All those rims were cast, by me, from two-piece molds, then sanded to shape and assembled together.
- The A.I. figure of my wife was generated by Gemini using an actual photograph (she no longer smokes cigarettes ).
- That Sunstar '63 Falcon was augmented by me - I replaced the Sprint wires wheelcovers with stock ones.
- Hopefully, I've addressed your question. 😉 😉

@chris I promise I won't tell your wife that you didn't immediately pick up on her photo as the most interesting and unique of all presented in the thread, thereby stoking my interest. Yes, I was wondering how that was created.

@sizedoesmatter It's amazing how similar they are from the C pillars to the wheel well cutouts. Nice comparison Chris.

@bob-jackman ....hmmm, I never realized that, but you're correct! 🤔 🤔
