[Mothersworry]

Tasca Ford '63 Galaxie lightweight, built as a curbside. Fixed the taillights and a few other things.

Man talking about looking great from every angle this one checks all the box’s . Fabulous interior by the way most accurate

I was good friends with mechanic on Tasca cars John Healey. He worked as a driver at NAPA Seekonk Ma. We talked racing for hour after hour. He is in the New England Drag Racing HOF. Prudhomme was the keynote speaker at his inauguration. John was well loved and was a super dude..much missed John Healey R.I.P.

I second the motion on Mike Elky's comments! Totally awesome build using a 60 yr old tooled kit (AMT I assume). What interior tub did you use to get that accurate hardtop interior (with the total width back seat) and the Bostrum front seats (scratch-built?). Are those "Galaxie" front & rear letters from a MCG photoetch set?

Occasionally I see builds posted here that are so beautiful that I want to totally copy them; this is one of those builds. Bravo!

A killer !!! Congratulations, this model is fabulous !

I plan to build as many TASCA cars as I can depending on what is available, your build is a great motivation.

I was following your build thread on this car. I still can’t get over how fantastic everything looks on this car. That interior, with the black floor looks dead on perfect. Even as a curbside, this is one spectacular build.

Awesome job!!!

You did excellent work on the miles of chrome on this, not a fun task.  Build looks killer from every aspect.

I have to agree with everything said above. That's one cool Ford. Beautiful work on this. Nice & clean with a fantastic period vibe. Very well done.

Nice ,clean work on a classic.

Nice work man! Just one question, how did YOU go about fixing the tail lights?

[Shark]

One more question, did you rechrome the bumpers and grill? They look to good to be kit supplied.

Thank you fer yer comment, the interior is a resin cast piece from Model Car World, I bought several back when Dave Dodge still owned Model Car World. I made the Bostrom seat master and had resin copies made, there available to purchase from Kevin at Missing Link resin. The "Galaxie" lettering and other trim are decals, there available from Jack Smith at Top End Decals.
