Welcome from Maine, USA
I've looked into the electric compressors as well. Most draw 60-80 amps. So you'll need a good 150+amp alternator. Good idea to have an electric...
Those R11s are quite valuable. I wanted to put one behind my close ratio Toploader in my Galaxie and that all seem to be $1000+. That's why I...
If you have a Chevy engine/ manual trans from a donor, well then just do a floor shift. You'll have to figure out the clutch linkage, which is...
I have a 59 Galaxie which had a 2 speed auto in it. I put a 3+OD 1978 Granada transmission in it. If you have a chev in your Galaxie, well...
I sold this 2 speed Ford-O-Matic to a fellow in Germany for his Fairlane. He sent me pictures and was very greatful[ATTACH] .

If you don't like them, then don't go. I took my son with me to a local show last summer. There was a 57 there which was the only older car than...

Such a convenient carry handle!
The flat wider red/white/blue would be mid 60s Galaxie. The earlier Fords had a taller R/W/B emblems, and they progressively got lower and wider....
I bought Coker Classic WWW radials. 205/75R14. The radials look identical to a Cooper Trendsetter tire (generic) and after all the videos Corky...
This post has proven that most of us (me included) have OT gear boxes, and no one complains! More gears=more better!
I only offer advice if asked. There are many ways to do things, and my way isn't always the other guys way. I certainly can understand the trans...

I am putting on flex connectors on the dual exhaust. I'm thinking that will help with all the torque put on the manifolds.
I just surfaced that manifold as you can see in the pic I posted. I can fit a .003" feeler gauge in the worst gap. So apparently the head is not...
