1965 Ford Galaxie XL

Nice build and I particularly love that tire repair / bumper jack pic. Brings back memories of all the lousy bumper jacks that came with my first few $300 “transportation” cars. I am so glad someone invented the scissors jack that came with the later cars I had back in the ‘70’s.

Thanks John. We never had bumper jacks in the UK, bumpers on British cars back then were too weak skinny for those. Scissor jacks were just as bad really. I have many memories of using the scissor jack on cars with rotten sills where the car would drop and crunch the jack into the floor and get stuck there! Lol

Very nice! My very first car was my parents '65 Galaxie, a 4 door, which was white with red interior. I bought it from them in 1975 for $500. Lots of good memories in that car. You did it justice!

Awesome stuff Gareth. Love the spare tire fix scenario. Excellent colour combo and detailing. I think I have that kit in my stash… hmmmmmm.?
