Sixx Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Thanks for all the great comments guys! None of it would be possible without Alan's help...the decals are absolutely awesome! Yeah I could have built the car...but it wouldn't be the Galpin Gasser without those decals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High octane Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 That is an awesome job on your project Derrick, as I'm currently workin' on a '57 Ford gasser myself and I have to finish it in ONE month, no ifs, ands, or buts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinMoparFord Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Nice work. I built one of these, not nearly to the level of detail you have done. Decals made form a guy named Steve. link http://public.fotki.com/Kevin60brd/57-galpin-gasser/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58 Impala Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Going to be watching your build. I've been wanting to do the same car after seeing it in a magazine. Glad there are decals available now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixx Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 Sorry guys...it's on the back burner for awhile...got some things that's going to put model building to the side...that interior comes from Replicas and Miniatures Company of Maryland...

JPL-ACE Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 My 1st real car was a 57 Ford sedan just like the Galpin (but stock) Rebuilt a 312 with 3/4 cam and try-Y headers. Painted orange that looks pretty close to the photos of the Galpin. See the pic from 1968 below. I have a kit ready to build (along with 6 or so other cars I have had). I also have a metal print of the Galpin 3 with blower vice dual carbs from retrovisions.com. I hope Derick can get back to models soon.

redzed Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 just did some research and found out some builders actually put wrong class letters on their cars but maybe Galpin had a supercharged engine at one time or was in process of putting one in ? S or AA = supercharged 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPL-ACE Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I suspect the picture is an airbrush painting with a little upgrading for shock value. Blower looks so much more powerful. Note the detail is kind of blurry and the headers are "chrome" and the fire is kind of fake to me. I have that second picture and it is a metal plate. The website that makes it does not offer it for sale now. But they do custom ones and Gabin has the money to order one I am sure. Just a thought. You may be right. But it does look cool.
