I've been lurking long enough on the board so thought I would finally jump into the mix. I've been into cars for as long as I can remember and still have my first car which I bought at 12 years old, 24 years ago. It is a 62 Galaxie 500 2 dr hdtp with a 390. My Dad and I restored it before I went into high school, I drove it for several years then parked it about 10 years ago, in a garage of course. Now it is time to bring "Emily" back to life! So over the next year or more I am going to be redoing what I did wrong in my younger days and get her back on the road so that I can take my new daughter to car shows in it to introduce her to the fun of cars. I also have a fox body mustang which is my fast car. I've taken pretty much every bolt out of the chassis 3 times in that car. It started out stock and is now far from it. The Galaxie will be my cruiser while the Mustang will continue to be my go fast car. I'll be helping a couple of friends on their cars too. Right now I'm installing a TH350 in my friends 58 Chevy p/u that he has had since high school. And another friend of mine is building a 49 International rat rod with a shortened bed sitting on an s-10 chassis. See y'all on the board! Paul
Love those old Galaxies! 62 is a killer year for Galaxie history as well. Enjoy the board. Theres a bunch of neat Galaxie and Ford stuff through this board.

I grew up outside of Austin and live near Boerne now. I use to go to Lockhart a lot when I lived in San Marcos to get BBQ.
I would love to buy your Cobra. It is at the top of my dream car list. Your 32 is awesome and is on the dream car list as well.
