Watch how Randy Gubb Built the Polished Aluminum Falconer V12 Roadster on Grubb’s Garage Ep. 10

Randy Grubb‘s newest masterpiece, the Falconer V12, was the result of two years of incredible work. Built upon the shape of the Bugatti Atlantic Type-57 and Delahaye Type-145, Grubb’s eye for detail was crafted with die hard, traditional coachbuilding skills, like using wooden bucks to build a hand-formed metal body upon. Grubb’s Garage, as you can guess, is his YouTube show,  which documents some of his wildest builds. Episode 9 featured the first half of the Falconer’s build, which can be watched here. 

“All of the polished aluminum that forms the body is riveted in place. No welding was used on any of it. That meant that Randy had to be extremely careful when cutting out his sheets for forming. Using 4×10-foot sheets, he was able to get some 11-foot long panels along the diagonal for the pieces that form the peaks of the front fenders,” wrote Staff Editor Brandan Gillogly. “The metal shaping required to make each panel of the prominent fenders without welding is impressive, but the construction method was also used in the waterfall panel that runs the length of the cockpit and onto the rear deck. No cheating here.”

Grubb’s Garage was kind enough to send us some extra photos, which you can check out in the gallery below. To see our feature of the Falconer V12, check out Brandan’s story for more photos and details of this hand-built roadster.
