Projects picked up a 1964 galaxie.

so back in december i sol my plymouth. and picked up a 64 galaxie. the car is super solid and i excited to have a car that is far more family friendly. so the night i picked it up the generator or voltage regulator kicked the bucket so i only made two of the five miles home had to have it towed.. so since then i have swapped to and alternator. here is a pictiure from the add.

as you can see somebody had shaved the side trim. that didn't really bother me at first but the more i looked at it the more it bugged me. so i lucked out and picked up all of the side trim off local craigslist.

i also picked up a carpet kit and the trunk lock as it was missing or so i thought. i later found two of them in the car.

so as time went on i picked a body color and ordered flake for the roof. i aslo installed three inch blocks in the rear.



oh and the lace i have saved it for years and it's going on the roof!

 

so i really have never liked chrome smoothies and for sure not the uni-lug ones. so i picked these up from a really cool member on the los boulavardos forum.

 

And this just happened. over this weekend.

 

and this as of yesterday.so i will keep you guys posted as i go.thanks for checking my thread.

Thanks for the positive response everybody. The roof should be in paint by 29th or 30th.

About the same since all I'd is pull in and out of the garage!

 

Love this body style, when lowered the body lines seem to go for days. What style are you going for bellflower maybe?

Dexter clearly I am not going to nascar it. Everyone else thanks again it's going to be great car and I am really looking forward to seeing what the painter is going to do he has already sketched it out but in real paint it will be crazy.

 

Just had to throw that in there when I saw all those tubs of flake.
Can't wait to see the progress. Looks like you've got a great car to start with.

 

Looks like the start of a great project. I wish mine started out that clean.

 

So, what do you do with the lace?
