I've been lurking here for a while, so it's time to do my intro! My name is Nick, but many know me as Malcolm. My current ride is a '62 Galaxie 2dr post, 'bagged, 390/auto. Past rides - '58 Ford Custom 300 2dr post, '57 Ford Custom 2dr Post, '64 Galaxie 500XL (still have), and '67 Galaxie 2dr HT. I made the trek to the LSRU in Austin earlier this year with a few other RoadBurners and had a great time. We will definitely be back next year! Enjoyed the LiveFast Omaha show recently and will be at Americruise next weekend. If you see the car pictured below, stop by and say "Hi"! A '53 Ford owned by fellow HAMBer Tim just spent a week in my driveway and I was hoping it would stay here permanently! See ya on the road- Malcolm
Welcome Malcolm. Great party at your place with the Rumblejetts after the Live Fast Omaha show. That was fun. Americruise this weekend. Whats the plan? Dan
Thanks for the comments guys! I know I am in good company here. Hatman - I know some are leaving on Friday (28th) morning and some early in the afternoon, not sure of the times yet. Malcolm
Hey, welcome to the HAMB. Whats the suspension set up on the 62 ? Leafs ? links ? Pics ? Im still yet to see a 60's Galaxie with a 2 or 4 link, i have this obsession with it L
It still has leaves in back, with one leaf removed (smallest on bottom) and "helper" 'bags installed between the spring and frame, just behind the axle. I also added 2" lowering blocks to get it down where I wanted it. I didn't want to remove another leaf because there were only two left - the main leaf + 1. Photos show my setup (don't mind the dirt, I drive it ALOT) and one I saw at the Des Moines Goodguys with a 4-link setup (w/ a newer rear end - 8.8?). I bought a kit from that large air suspension company. They also now sell a "bolt on" 4-link retrofit kit for 60-64 Galaxies, among others. I will tell you more via PM Malcolm
[hey,malcom seen &talked with you several times. seen ya in lincoln i drive the black 52 chevy p/u . just discovered h.a.m.b ,***** at typing but glad to be able to stay in the loop.look forward to beatrice. hopefully we can get all three south O turds there.
Welcome Malcom. I am new too, but was at Americruise and had a blast! Do you ever get to Flashbacks Car shows on Wed? I usually go, but havent had my car done until last week. Maybe we will run into each other sometime. take care! Scooter
I do go to Flashbacks quite often on Wednesday nights. I've seen pics of your car here on the HAMB, so I'll look for you the next time I'm down there. Malcolm
Suprised I've never seen you down there at Flashbacks. Here I thought I had seen every car that has been down there. I have a purple T-bucket and a red 58 Plymouth (NOT CHRISTINE!). I know HotRod55 and we are in the********s Car Club. We are working on getting it off the ground. We'd love to have a fellow HAMBer to hang out with.
