Brutalform Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Here is a 64 Galaxie I completed. It was supposed to be a quick build, with no engine or chassis work, but I was not at the hobby due to a back injury. Feeling a lot better now, so I am starting my projects again. I wish I could have got the rear to sit higher, but its only a screw bottom chassis. I used the decals I bought from Rick Lucas. Really good person to deal with. The first set I got were printed on bad paper, but Rick made everything good. I will use his decals again, on my 63 Galaxie, and all of my early 60s Chevys. Thank you for looking.
george 53 Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Man, I remember them big ol boats! They were REALLY fast in their day, with them BIG ol 427's!. You've done this one proud! Real nice lookin build! :)
Dave Pye Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) I got to see a few of those 427s run back in the day. Desert Motors sponsored one that showed up regurally at our local strip. The '64s have always been a favorite of mine, and that looks like a mighty fine job (even with my bias! LOL!) Keep up the good work! Edited January 9, 2011 by Dave Pye

Thank you...I am back to work without being on "light duty". Now, I have to get my 55 Chevy pro street, 62 Impala pro street, 62 Catalina, and 65 GTO finished. The Catalina, and 55 Chevy are near completion.
Racephoto1 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Nice old Ford, and how much Bare Metal foil did you use, looks like quite a bit.
Jantrix Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I wish I could have got the rear to sit higher, but its only a screw bottom chassis. Great work! How about a washer or two between the chassis and the stand off the screw goes into?

Brutalform Posted January 30, 2011 Author Posted January 30, 2011 Great work! How about a washer or two between the chassis and the stand off the screw goes into? Hey Rob thanks!...the washers did the trick. It sits right now. Just had to get a few longer screws, that's all.
