hoping someone will know this car. like to know what the rear wheel openings came from.
Need a side shot, but from where I'm sitting they look like my 66 Mustang
67 camaro lip. sure looks good on that falcon. on the hunt i guess.
All I can say is a 60s Falcon, most likely round
tail lights.
I personally like it!
It's a 1960 Compact Falcon. I'm not sure of the cars but the utes (pick-ups) were built with 6 cylinder engines only.

i have a 61 to build.
If it's a '67 Camaro wheel arch I wonder if there's not a patch panel that could be used for not too many $$? Haven't looked, but you can buy just about any body panel ever made for those Camaros, it seems.
looked but no luck. all i found was qrt panels. will look for a junker. if not i'll use something else.
A junker would be cheaper I expect, but Summit has some GM Goodmark 80% QP skins for a bit under $100.
Many years ago when I had my 63 Falcon Futura we torched the rear fender wells to fit decent size tires (yeah young and really stupid).
What I was always going to do was find a pair of front Falcon donor fenders and graft the wheel well opening. Body lines would match and should have been a fairly easy job. not saying that's what he did but.......

Surprised nobody could identify the rear wheel arch, it's a slightly modified, full size Ford rear wheel arch assembly for a 1973 Ford F100. I've done a number of such conversions over the year for the drag racers who used to use my old shop

it is 67 camaro wheel arches.
Too round, and not the right profile, has an almost flat outer profile, similar to the original 289 Roadster from the AC AceQuote:

I saw a 1/4 panel that has a very similar wheel well
flare.
Shine, you confirmed that the white '60 Falcon pictured used a '67 Camaro rear wheel arch, right?
If that's right the only task remaining for your '61 Falcon build is to either 1) find a donor '67/68 Camaro for pieces of the quarter panels, or 2) spring for partial quarters from aftermarket guys for new metal, right?
yes. about 100 each.
