Projects SOHC Galaxie frame rolls

Good golly miss molly, that's an awesome build. I am impressed, thanks for sharing and keep us posted.

 

Thanks for the compliments. My painter is after me to get it to the shop here after Christmas, I'll keep you guys updated but in a separate thread. I did not intend to hijack the 64 Cammer build which by the way is very cool in itself. As far as the vent goes I usually put them in the aftermarket fill cap, just have not done that part yet.

Travis, I don't consider that a hijack, but a real cool addition to my junk.
Wish mine was looking as good as yours.
Very impresive!
Eric

 

Thank you Eric
Well its a 500 (some one mounted xl trim on the rear fenders)
390 P code 4spd(C/M mounted by previous owner i have the T10)
2.72 LSD rear. Powerbrakes.TQ trust d,s 8.5 rear 7 front(.I have owned it since 98. Owned by friends of me from 84. Imported from West virginia 82 i think
I used it as a dailydriver for several years wounderful car to drive
The engine is out for a rebuilb now....But a SOHC should be
nice.But then its the shipping to sweden and all that.And i want to
se with my own eye what i buy. so i think i settle for a Rabotnik Prison break kit
a TKO600 and some LTD discbrakes i have

If i buy a SOHC who to buy from? I Belive there is
a couple of maker of new SHOCs

 

Heo2,
Thanks for the info. Really cool car!!
Berry has a great reputation, and I hang out with MercuryJunkie, and his Barry built FE in his Comet. That is a nive engine, He built for KEn!

Barry, or Butch Englebrect in Cali, are about the two most easy to find, and Keith Craft, has the aftermarket stuff as well.

Eric:

FE

 

WOW,she doesn't look 63!!!!!! Eric;any word from Earl on your SOHC? ROY.

 

Eddie, looking good, and can you send the hottie over to help with my junk, too..... I mean my car!

Roy, Earl and I play phone tag, but no solid ETA yet. I want to go get that Cyclone,and my Cammer, on the same trip, seeing how diesel is getting expensive again!

 

Eric;yea,just in time to head East!!!!! ROY.

 

That will be a spendy ride! How you rich guys do that is beyond me....

 

PLASTIC!!!!!! I'm leaving this world FLAT ASSED BROKE!!!!!! ROY.

 

It came back as the Modular Ford.

 

Roy, my problem is, I am already flat assed broke!!!

 

Eric:

This is what I'm talkin about!!!!!!

FE

 

Eddie, if I new Phil was selling his Black 64, I would have painted mine Black, again, and did a red interior.... But I didn't think he was ever going to sell that car.
Although he did steal my combo ideas!!
Eric

PS, that is one nice looking car, above!!

 

Dad at Ford Expo 04. Nothing like Black 64 Galaxies

 

Those Black 64's are killing me. Man, they look good!

 

Eric Time for some Galaxie Motivation.

Heres some Pics From Rick Hearns Personal Photos. For those Interested in who Rick Hearn Is Check out the Thunderbolt Thread starting page 158.

These pics are from 1964 Colorado Tracks.

This is Julesburg Dragstrip August 23 1964. a Lightweight 63 running with the Ford Drag Group out of Cali Including Gas Rhonda and Ed Terry. Not sure who the Driver was.





Love that 64 Merc NHRA Saftey wagon in the corner.

 

Rocky Mountain Dragway just east of Denver

 

Thanks Rick Hearn For The Awesome Galaxie Shots.

 

Ken;thanks for posting those great pictures!!! Maybe they will get Eric motivated!!!! ROY.

 

Ken, Roy, I am crying in my beer, looking at those pics. Damn, that's some cool shit!
Those cars rock, and I love white paint!
Roy, motivation is there, and Saturday, a custom built early Bronco leaves my shop, (Not a speed shop, like Eddie) and nothing but the Galaxie, the tools, and the beer, stand in my way..... Except a Cammer, somewhere lost in Texas!]
Eric

 

Eric;I think a road trip down to Texas is waaaaaaaaaaay over due!!!!! ROY.
