I'm trying to convert a Galaxie to a Starliner.  I'm using all the parts needed from a 60 Starliner to build it.  Here are some pics of what I've done so far.  I forgot to take a pic of the Galaxies roof before I removed it but you can see the difference in how it looks.  I've also opened the hood for the engine.  I mixed Silver Blue with Safire Blue for the color.

Cool project. I purchased a 61 Galaxie for the purpose of doing the same conversion. I was inspired by a 62 Starliner with Cammer power that appeared in Hot Rod magazine in the early/mid-eighties, which at the time I thought was about the coolest street cat I had seen.

Anyway, I'll be following your progress.

If it was the red 61 I saw it a few years ago in person at the Hot Rod Reunion in Bowling Green, KY. As I was walking it idled past me smooth as silk.  When I saw it parked a few minutes later with the hood open I coudn't hardly believe it was a Cammer! Super clean build!

What a cool project. I've been poking for an original '61 Starliner, and they're not common, and expensive.

The conversion doesn't look all too tough. I might give this a try, as I have a spare '61 and a spare '60.

Thanks guys.  Charlie, it's harder than it looks fer sure.  I hope you have a lot of patience.  Good luck if you go ahead with the conversion.
