    Hi, my name is Rich, and I'm hooked on cars.

    Seriously, hello all. I'm new to H.A.M.B. Just a bit about myself; I'm 43, from central NY swamp country, NY isn't all city. I fell in love with cars with my first Hot Wheels Car. My first "real" car was a fake 72 Buick GS. I recently bought a real GS and proposed to my high school sweetheart in it. She said yes! She also is hooked on cars. She has a 73 Cadillac Hearse.

    I have always wanted a "Gasser", and got the ok from the Mrs. to buy a 1964 Galaxy 500 from ebay. My first question is, would this be a good car to make into a gasser? I will have tons more question, but I figured I would ask this one first. Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the Hamb.

    Just my opinion (everyone here has at least one) the Galaxy is too heavy.

    Find some old drag racing posts here and see.

    It would make a cool stock class car though.
