Did a search and didn't find a thread about trying to keep the old car interest alive in new drivers and young folks. My girlfriend has twin boys...
What a sweet car! That's one hell of a paint job! Wish that my '64 had a trunk that looked like that. Thanks for the pics!
The classiest gesture and response I've come across in a very long time. Reassuring to know that there are folks that still know how to treat a...
Thanks, thought I would make sure.
Just so I'm clear: '64 Galaxie - welcome or not welcome. Thanks. Bill
Eric, have been following the news about Earl's passing, lots of Ford knowledge and know-how passed with him. If you have most of what you need,...
All the planets aligned and I was able to make it up to Lime Rock this year for all 3 days. Drove the '64 on Saturday and got plenty of stares,...
Thanks, Jeff! Had the road to myself this morning on the way to work, what a pleasant start to the day. Had forgotten what FE torque felt like and...
Yessir, it is, thanks for the comment.
<!-- google_ad_section_start -->Well, it took about 30 years but my ragged Galaxie went from where I have it stored and where I work on it to...
I have plans to be there on all 3 days for at least a little while. Last year I camped for the weekend, Monday's race was rained on but the...
It took all day but the deed is (mostly) done. Looks like it belongs there for the most part. [IMG] [IMG] The road test generated a list of...
Yessir, the 427 is coming along nicely and will be very solid when it's done. The rebuild is just taking a while and I was hoping to motor to the...
All right, big engine still in machine shop jail so I decided to bite the bullet and get moving. From this: [IMG] To this: [IMG]...
It looks a lot nicer in person, I'm not much of a photographer. The builder is really cool with me coming by to shoot the breeze and ask...
Gettin' harder and harder to not camp out at the machine shop now that things are happenin' [IMG] [IMG]
Sooooo, thought I would update a bit. Did some messing around with the 360 to make it a bit more presentable with the idea that I would put it in...
Hey Eric, yeah, it is going really slow, but I knew that going in. The block has been honed to fit the new pistons, the crank has been ground...
Saw this link on another site: http://bcauction.net/nextauct.htm Not sure if it is the same one, but there is a lot of interesting stuff there.
Since I replaced the bumpers it looks a whole lot better. I think the shot from the back shows some of the nicest lines Ford ever put on a big...
I had a bit of a different experience... Had some big parts shipped from Texas to CT, Galaxie bumpers and brackets. The price was right. Since I'm...
Any updates? Just wondering....
Since I had a problem similar to your's: Check the anti-freeze concentration. I had mine over-concentrated and it won't transfer heat properly, or...
Now, THAT is very well done! The rest of us can only dream... Thanks for posting that up. Beautiful car. A little inspiration to all of us Galaxie...
PM sent to avoid hi-jack.
A '63 bird from East Litchfield, by chance? Just wonderin'. I heard about a very nice one there a couple weeks ago.
Just saw this thread.....I'm glad you saved it.... I would have too!
Spent some more time on the run-in stand and 'tested' it with the old 360 I've been using as a mock-up. Plus, got some snazzy new pistons that...
This old TSB from the 427 Galaxie site shows the factory correct configuration for a low-riser set-up. Go to Page 7, I think. The factory low...
If you post those pics over on the FE forum (www.fordfe.com) you will get plenty of opinions. I'm no guru, but it looks as if those carbs are...
