    Well I am sure as soon as Dustin gets back from being a Yankee Coyote (he's currently helping someone in New York move south of the Mason Dixon in NC...yeah) he'll give us some updates with some pics of this incredible interior. I'v seen it in pics but not in person. Someone please revoke his Southern Pride Card...pleeeeeeeeeaaaassssseeee!!!!

    OK guys, its back from the upholstery shop...fuckin amazing work. As terd said...miles and miles of while leather. Its 100% perfect. I got the bumpers, radiator, grill etc, etc, etc, installed over this past weekend. Just a few other little details to button up (drive shaft, tranny lines, fuel tank and front fender stainless) and it is FINALLY on the road. EXCITED!!! Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic.

    UPDATE....OK OK OK..the Galaxie is now DONE. I got it cranked, set the timing and it runs like a top. Got the new exhaust on it, took it to the detail shop. It turned out amazing...very happy with the outcome. Here are a few pictures. I will get some much better pictures to put up when I can get it out of the garage. These are crappy camera phone pics. The one on the trailer is when I was going to get the exhaust put on...dont hound me too much about that one..:) All white leather tuck and roll throughout. Again, I want to thank my club brother JeremyJames for all the metal work magic that he done on this car.

    Daaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmnnnnn!!!!!!! That thing looks awesome!!! Wanna trade? My '54 is begging for you! :D

    I was just thinking about the day Jeremy and I took the body off the frame....I think that's were it all went down hill.....or uphill......whatever. It's awesome now!!! And don't forget that little piece I made for the trunk on the drivers side which I am sure Jeremy threw out because it was garbage and the rest of the metal work was just too nice to incorporate some amateur hack's piece. :D

    It's rad dude, I kinda love it!

    Looks incredible man, can't wait to see it. That is of course if you don't trade it or sell it before I see you next.

    So, what exactly does it feel like to have a beautifully finished car?

    He traded it for a '32 Ford so it's in Michigan now.
     
  23. The car now lives in Michigan. I haven't had the chance to get any "glamor shots" of it yet.

    Here are a couple of the best I have.

    Dustin did a great job on it and I'm looking forward to some topless cruising this summer.

    Nice! I'm in the Greensboro area. I'm in concord from time to time for the auto fair and all that. I wish I could move down there, seems to be a richer car culture out there. If you guys need any help out there let me know, im a sheet metal/metal fab guy. Hard to find car guys who will so much as talk to you up here for some reason.
