    still plugging away on the Galaxie.

    jeffshibby has machined me some awesome parts for the interior.

    I wanted to smooth out the dash and get rid of the radio, heater controls, clock, knobs that we won't be using. so jeffshibby machined these dash pieces.

    then because we are using a lokar shifter, aod ******, and a manual console plate. jeffshibby machined this shift trim plate to accommodate the shift indicator. (console plate still needs to be refinished)

    Seeing this picture reminded me of adverti*****ts I heard on the radio when these cars were new about how strong the bumpers were. I was a little tyke then and hadn't thought of that in years. Very cool rendering!
