My wife just bought my galaxie back!

Thanx PoPo! Yes she is, she's actually a surgeon. I am truly blessed to have such a great woman in my life, words can't describe how much respect i have for my wife and how proud i am of her. The plan is to cruise both cars to shows together!!

Ian

 

lol!

 

She's getting repainted on monday, Very light baby blue metallic, sapphire to be exact. it's like 20 shades lighter than that blue. More early 60's stock color. Then later down the line Donnie is gonna do the roof. I'll post pics when i get it back next week!

Ian

 

Alright i got the GALAXIE back from the SCHEIB! What's cool about them is they paint your tires , wheels, bumpers, chrome trim and license plate to match your car!! Anyways i think the color is much better and it doesnt show the imperfections as much. I sanded the headlight rings and my homie Omar helped me polish them. My other homie Johnny pinstriped the hood and trunk silver, real suttle! I think the car looks much better, im pretty stoked to drive it to Santa Maria!! Oh yeah, the color on the bottom is a very light green metallic and the top is silver but im gonna have Donnie do the roof in the near future after im all done with the chevy!!

 

Dude, it super tasteful and I like this incarnation the best!!! Love the color of the striping too!

Now get back on that Chevy I am waiting for some updates.

 

Good for you man.. sounds like you have a wonderful wife! Glad you got your ride back!!

 

looks sweet. How are those grill pieces held in place, I have always wondered about that.

 

Hey thanx a lot guys!! Much better!! The grille pieces are those bullets you buy at MOONEYES or swap meets and they have a screw hole in the back so that's how they're held in place.

The Chevy is going to a friends shop in 2 weeks for all the plumbing , wiring and exhaust, and we're gonna start it too! Then back to my house to complete the sanding then primer it and DRIVE IT for a while. Im gonna see how everything holds up for a couple months then *****in paint job!!

It'll be in primer for the PRIMER NATS and shiny paint for MOONEYES!

Ian

Hey Carl, what's up? Mike said in a couple weeks or so. Dude the engineering on your suspension is like some terminator **** homie!! Never seen anything like it man, it's rad!! I got pics of you car on my desktop, got em from Mike. Looks good bro!!

Thanx bro! She's got a married sister

Thanx homie!! I'll let you know! I wish you were going to SM!

Thanx man! let me know and it's on!!

 

Hey Ian, I just checked out your thread and yes I'd have to agree with everyone your wife kicks ***, that was very cool of her... I really like the final color that you picked for your car it kicks *** !
60'

 

Hey thanx bro!! She does rule!! I love the light color for early 60's stock, mild custom or full on custom. Dark colors just don't look right to me! Perfect example..... Your Caddy!! Beautiful by the way! Hope to see you again at another event!!

Take care!

Ian

 

WOW Ian.....we will miss that great car at Back to the Beach!!!!

 

I know!! My wife has a crazy schedule and unfortunately she's on call this weekend so we gotta stay close to the hospital in case somebody needs to be cut open!

Next year hopefully! But there's some good shows coming up that we'll be at!!

Have fun John!! Drive safe!1

Ian

LOL!! Thanx man!! I consider myself very lucky!! I love that woman!
