Hello all. My name is Billy and I found this site through Google. I love old cars and enjoy learning about them. I have a 62 Galaxie that I am building. It is going to be a mild custom that looks period correct. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3091676
Hey Billy...welcome! I was just checking out the build pics on car domain. Thats cool you got your car back dude....good story! Looks like you are doing a great job on the upgrades, its gonna ride like a new car for sure. Im jealous. Ive got a stock 352 in mine with Cruise O Matic etc. One of these days mine will get upgraded like yours. cheers~Nailz
Thanks guys. I have found a lot of useful info on here and I imagine it will become my newest addiction. This is not the only old Ford I have owned, but it is my favorite. I have owned 3 Fairlanes as well. A 62 and 2 64s. Most of my friends don't understand what I see in my Galaxie. I simply tell them that it is something I was born with.
Thanks everyone. I spent yesterday blasting the roof. Almost done. A friend is going to paint it the original blue. I am building a 390 for it and a C6 to put behind it. I haven't decided on wheels yet, but I have some 15" steel wheels I am considering painting body color and adding some spyder caps.
