Brutalform Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Here is a 64 Galaxie I completed. It was supposed to be a quick build, with no engine or chassis work, but I was not at the hobby due to a back injury. Feeling a lot better now, so I am starting my projects again. I wish I could have got the rear to sit higher, but its only a screw bottom chassis. I used the decals I bought from Rick Lucas. Really good person to deal with. The first set I got were printed on bad paper, but Rick made everything good. I will use his decals again, on my 63 Galaxie, and all of my early 60s Chevys. Thank you for looking.

george 53 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Man, I remember them big ol boats! They were REALLY fast in their day, with them BIG ol 427's!. You've done this one proud! Real nice lookin build! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Pye Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) I got to see a few of those 427s run back in the day. Desert Motors sponsored one that showed up regurally at our local strip. The '64s have always been a favorite of mine, and that looks like a mighty fine job (even with my bias! LOL!) Keep up the good work!

Jantrix Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I wish I could have got the rear to sit higher, but its only a screw bottom chassis. Great work! How about a washer or two between the chassis and the stand off the screw goes into? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutalform Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Great work! How about a washer or two between the chassis and the stand off the screw goes into? Hey Rob thanks!...the washers did the trick. It sits right now. Just had to get a few longer screws, that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
