bh1701 Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 Here is a 64 Ford Galaxie 500XL (AMT Blueprinter kit) that I just completed. This was built for and given to my neighbor; this was one of his first cars that he remembers quite fondly. Exterior paint is Tamiya TS-14 Black, I used Vallejo Black wash on the front grill and the on the Galaxie emblem on the rear of the car; I have just started using this product and am very pleased with the results! Bare Metal foil was done for the window trim and the "spear" on the side of the car. The "FORD" script on the hood and rear are hand painted. All chrome detail in the interior was also hand painted. I stole the wheels and hubcaps from a 60 Ford Starliner kit to match his car. (looks like the Starliner will be getting some new wheels when I build it). Thanks for looking, Bart 1
doorsovdoon Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 Beautiful. I've been looking out for this kit for a while but they seem impossible to find in the UK. Very nice build.

TransAmMike Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 Cool build Bart, '64 Galaxie one of my favorite "big" Fords.
Bills72sj Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 Very nice! When I was a kid my Dad bought a black '64 wagon with the woodgrain sides. I think it was a flip. We didn't have very long.
Brutalform Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 That’s one beautiful Galaxie. This is one of my favorite Ford big cars. I can’t wait to get mine finished up.
espo Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 Great looking paint work and the chrome trim is all done very cleanly. I'm not a big Ford guy, but I liked these cars. I knew a couple of guys who worked together and ordered twins of these new. They were both Blue Mt. with White interiors and the 309 and 4-speeds.
ewetwo Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 I owned on of these when I was young. Yellow with black interior. Love the 1964 Food.
Scott8950 Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 beautiful!!! 62 and 64 are by far the best looking galaxies
