I have just spent the last 10 months renovating my dad's 1960s Falcon San Remo. I have always loved it, but It lay rusting and unloved in his shed for years and it needed a lot of work. I took plenty of photos of the old hand painted decals then stripped it, had it rechromed and then resprayed. I made my own replacement decals from the photos I took and then had it clearcoated. Using parts I bought from ebay I then converted it to a singlespeed and love the result.
Vintage Falcons are great
