Flaked, Scalloped, and Candied the Galaxie Roof!

Way too kool Malcom!!!

The car was already killer before ya started and it just getting better. Looking forward
to checking out the flake job in person.

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

Malcolm, man that looks good. Can't wait to see the rest. What are your plans for the bottom? It will really turn some heads. Keep up the good work. Gary

 

LOOKS GOOD malcom, my favorite colors for a mild custom galaxie !! hope to see it on the road this summer. jeff

 

Galextacie! Can't wate to see it live!

 

Hell yeah, way to go, now you really need to paint the rest of the car to match the bad ass top....

 

Top looks great! I can remember rolling mine out into the sun for the first time.

 

I'm honestly not sure exactly what I'm going to do on the rest of the car, as far as color(s) and whether, or not, there will be more scallops.

It'll be a couple years before I get that far. I'm really enjoying driving the hell out of it in the Spring/Summer/Fall, rain or shine.

Painting the rest of the body will be a major undertaking. The body will need to be blown apart, all the jambs stripped, primed, and painted. (still has the original paint in those areas) There are a few very small rust areas that need to be fixed. Weatherstripping also needs to be replaced at that time.
It could easily be a $2500-$3000 project, doing everything I can myself.
I don't have the room or resources to do it at this time. Besides, it doesn't look too bad as-is....

Thanks guys,

Malcolm

 

nice looking flake - what color of flake did you choose?

 

Wow!

That looks great!

What's the plan for the rest of car?

 

Oops-day late, dollar...

Hahaha-

Just read your last post.

Looks great---drive the wheels off!



It's go

 

Great job guys. Always inspiring to see a weekend job turn out so well.

 

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!!

 

Dude - that looks fantastic. I'm a flake kinda guy, anyway. Funny, when you had your sketches for the scallops laid out, I picked the same one, myself. Too funny. Sick minds think alike. Looks like a very quality job, keep that guy close.
Well man, look forward to seein' y'all here in a couple weeks. CONGRATS.

 

We used silver flake that Jeff (Hiboy32) picked up at a swapmeet.

Thanks, Ken! Can't wait to make the trip down to the Roundup!

 

Thanks, Jeff! A group of us will be going to Austin again this year - hope to see ya there.

You might have noticed, in a couple of pics, a photo of your car that I printed for inspiration.

Man that's sweet. I love flake.

Doc.

 

Damn, that's sexy!!

 

that silver flake does look killer

 

Looks damn good, I really like the shade of red you ended up with. Now finish the rest of the body off to match.

 

Very Nice!! I love it!

 

Looks bitchen man.

I love the color

 

Looks so good you should do the whole car. We could call you KIRK2!

 

Thanks guys, but it'll be a while before the rest of it gets finished off. It WILL happen eventually, though. I have a few things I need to take care of on my house first.

...and I'll stick with Malcolm.

Looks suh-wheet ! I was actually contemplating a similar color scheme for my Riv.

Todd

 

That is a sweet looking roof there! I love it!!!

 

Echoing everyone else... It looks awesome. Nice job on all the details of each step with pics. Can't wait to see it up close.

Jeff, I have an idea I need to talk to you about... nice work!

cale

 

Hey Cale, do you want your roof flaked?? hahahaha

Jeff

 

Malcolm my friend that looks killer. My vote is you carry the scheme over the entire car. Good job done by all involved. Hope to see you guys at Jays get together in April.
