Projects SOHC Galaxie frame rolls

I'm with you eric I think the 64's look the best.

 

One of the baddest 64 galaxies on the planet.






This sinister Ford Galaxie is not a metaphorical rocket, as in "fast as a rocket!" It is not a marketing trademark like Oldsmobile's Rocket 88. This car actually is rocket-powered. In addition to the prodigious amount of power created by the supercharged 427 engine topped with four side draft carburetors, there is a genuine rocket engine affixed to the differential that generates an extra 1000 horsepower.

 

SOHC427, or anybody....I want to put as much tire as I can uner my 64 on a 15 inch wheel. I dont want to cut anything if I can help it. tell me what size and offset your running. Mine is all stock....pic is the day we drove it out from under the shed....Thanks

 

Ken;I got to see the Turbonetics Galaxie at Carlisle.I had seen it years ago in a magazine,was cool to see it in person.Skip's Hemi FE is still around,it was at Brannan's show in 06,I will try and get some info on it.ROY.

 

Lowfomoco,

The tire I am running, with no issues, is a BFG T/A 275/60/15 on a 8 inch rim, in the rear, and 235/70/15 on the front, with a 6 inch wheel. These 2 tires are real close in overall height.

Eric

 

Ken,
Those are some nice 64's!

 

Eric, that is a lot of tire on the back...what kind of offset on the rear wheels. Thanks for the info..

 

There is a Cammer Galaxie up for auction at Barrett Jacksons this year, Saturday auction.

 

Heres some pics of that galaxie with the cammer for auction.

Low,
My rear wheels have a 4" offset. I could send a pic, but the body isn't on the frame yet.....

 

Ken, I think the 64 Custom is the one "GotGas" mentioned on the first page of this thread. Looks good!

 

WOW!!! What a clean 64,alot of sheetmetal to smooth out,beautiful paint,besides being a BITCHIN ride. ROY.

 

Roy, your right, what a nasty car!

 

Just a locally owned hot rod, those are my pics and video, I just love the sound of a cammer...

SoCal, does the owner hop on here ever?
If you talk to him, push the idea of the CHHR this year, or the March meet, at Famoso. There are always a bunch of Sohc rods there. I love that vidio, and pictures.
Thanks, Eric

 

He has a gazillion cars but next time I see him I'll suggest the idea.

I doubt he even knows what the H.A.M.B is.

 

In case you people are unaware,Dave has a cool web site,ALOT of pictures! ROY.

 

I was at Art Chrisman's Christmas party and what a show and feed that was. Art is building a '55 T bird with a Fuel Injected 427 Cammer for one of his customers that is just incredible. I took some shots of it and would love to post but I always have problems trying to post on this forum.

 

I was at Chrisman's for the party too - here's that T-bird...

Ken;that 64 with the primered hood[now painted] belongs to my friends Tyler and Mac out of Oceanside,CA.He has had the Gal for years and is just getting back into racing.They are good friends with Scrap Iron and have had them do some work on the car. ROY.

 

That car was built in a gagage in Ft. Worth, TX by a friend of mine and his sons. First class all the way.
