1965 Ford Galaxie 500XL

[blue504life]

hey everyone

this is my first project thread and first real model (my other stuff is R/C)

(all pics will be replaced with better ones tomorrow)

basically ill be starting with a AMT "RIDES" 65 Galaxie

the idea was simple build a galaxie to resemble my uncles real one

so i started by trying to figure out how to add a simple 302 under the hood

had to cut part of the trans tunnel out and lower the rear transmission mounts

uncles has chopped pipes so i did that too

then found a motor from something else i had laying around

5.0 from a 93 cobra kit i believe

that looks good, but really isn't enough motor for this tank

looked at all the other kits i have laying around to find a better motor

and found a Revell 07 GT500 kit and built the motor

no paint for now

so thats where i am now, not really sure how to finish the mounting of what ever motor i use, suggestions?

thanks

Nice start, Shane. You build model car bodies for XMODS chassis? I have a custom '69 Chevelle body mounted on an XMODS EVO chassis.

i've got that same engine, but i took the supercharger off to put on my vette'. i think it's gonna look good in the ol galaxie . can't wait to see how it comes out.

thanks guys

mustang- i have so many bodies for the evo chassis (both car and truck) the list would look like a paragraph. ranging from a 1970 BOSS 429 to a VW new beetle for cars, trucks range from a 94 lightning to a half-track

vizio- the GT500 5.4 with out the charger? must look kinda weird
