Just picked this up about a month ago. Anyone got a rear bumper for sale? Also, I'd love to see some custom 63's if you got some pics! Thanks.
I used to have a 63 boxtop 2 door hardtop.One of the best riding and driving cars I ever owned.Wish I had kept it.Sorry, no bumper,but just be glad you aren't looking for a 64 rear bumper.They are expensive.
Yeah, she rides nice for sure. Even lowered, it floats on down the road in comfort. I'm lovin the hell out this car. Even looks good for a 4 door!
try the Galaxie club of america. I found my bumpers thru them. They were super nice and super expensive. Should be a little cheaper for a 63
Awesome!!! Whats the plans if any??? Sinticket here on the HAMB is building a '62 in an early lowrider style and it's coming out pretty rad.
Not to sure yet, was thinking about shaving it and changing the white. I like the red flake top and wheels though. I have not seen any shaved 63's, at least not fully shaved. May do red and mexican blanket interior. I'm not going to crazy though, I want to keep it as daily as possible, my son loves riding in her! Thanks for the bumper tip, I'll check em out.
Like I said in another thread I think the 63 4 doors look better than the 2! That's why I've owned 2 of them. Just fantastic cars, wish I still had the grey one. I think this one is in Tennessee somewhere This one went to Sweden
I might have a decent rear bumper laying around somewhere, getting it to you might be a bitch though.
Let me know about that bumper, could you ship to Atlanta? Vorhese, that shaved 4 door is AMAZING! I have not seen one shaved before, good look for sure, thanks!
I've seen your (former) gray car all over the web and on youtube. That is one of the coolest Galaxies I have ever seen. I too have a 63 4 door that I am in the process of fixing up and constantly use pics of your old car for inspiration. I'm going to paint mine black with a silver metal flake roof. I think I'm going to keep the trim also. I'm having the interior done in all white tuck and roll. One step at a time.
. . . did you ever find a bumper ? I have some straight ones but the chrome ain't that great, I live just south of Baltimore. You can always get one at the Ford Carlisle event, June 4th, 5th and 6th. http://www.carsatcarlisle.com/ce/events/ford-nationals/
maybe when you get the sheetmetal straightened out, an FE will magically replace the BBC you have in it..... tri-carbed 406.... maybe?
lucky for me all i got was a busted lip from the steering wheel. I still have all my teeth.... No passengers, thank God! Flat tire drove me right into the guard rail!
Cheit!.........even with a big block Chebby in that Ford...terrible...hope you are ok and the car is not a goner...we may have some fenders and a hood up here...maybe a frame, but it is under a 64 Galaxie........roller. Mark
I am so glad that you are OK, man the bad posts just keep on rolling in. Sheetmetal and paint can be replaced yoyr health is most important. Starting to get paranoid with my '62, at every opportunity it has bit me and it ain't even on the road!
You should totaly talk to chrisblattie here on the hamb. He has a thread running called the Largest parts collection in the world....?? probably has a few 63 bumpers and a shit load of other galaxie parts! Just my .02.
Damn bro..that totally sucks, glad u made it thru ok...my buddy just bought a 63 Galaxie last week..ill tell him to watch those flats! You gonna fix it?
I liked it better before you made the changes . That really sucks, glad to hear that at least you're ok.
