Funny, nobody mentions the Grapevine in the original pic. Huh... 'magine that... Looked pretty low "back in the day" [IMG]
The last one I did, I put the subframe on top of the original rails and plated the sides.
Good God damn that's a beautiful Galaxie! :eek:
Looks great! Now stripe them ;)
And get even lower with the added weight! :D
Go Kustom. Driving a gasser every day sucks.
Check your float level.
Meh... I use roll-on truck bedliner. It is an excellent sound deadener, insulator and rustproofer.
Waiting patiently... tapping my foot and tipping the bottle...
It's that big goofy guy over there <------------------------- or maybe over here?
You know the UPS man "pitched" that box from the gate... likely while your Lab was raising Hell at him. She destroyed the box to protect you from...
I'll do $2,500 if I can drive it home. See... you already can make a Grand, having done nothing else.
I wanna see some intakes!!! :cool:
That haze looks like blush to me.
My set is a mix of Streamline and Martin. You did very well :)
I'd take the frame and let the rest of it finish turning to dirt.
What? Iron and carbon? Maybe if you were drowning in the stuff, but those are both naturally-occuring in your body anyway :cool:
wait... you said you have 2 of those sixers? Make a coupler to time the cranks 20 degrees apart and tie them together... go all-out Tommy Ivo and...
I've paid a lot of money for parts that "should work" over my time building cars. I know better now. If I need to spend several hours measuring,...
The 16-gallon '64-'68 Mustang tank is flat on top and the '69 filler tube will almost mate with it without cutting. I chose the 20-gallon for the...
I agree with the "save up for a swap later and don't dump money in this engine if you're not gonna use it" crowd. Any FE-series or 385-series...
The "return spring" for a power-assist booster is in the booster. If the pedal drops on it's own after starting the engine, then the valving in...
When I had my old Galaxie convertible on the road for a long trip, I would sleep in it. The only time it was unattended was going to the bathroom...
A local scrap-thieving-piece-of-shit and his tweeker friend broke into the local beer distributor and stole all the empty kegs (like RuffDawg's...
nice!!! :)
Beautiful work, mio amico :) I'm happy you are fixing the rear leaf-spring lowering blocks. That looked like a very unsafe setup with round...
I love a "trick" Hemi! You did very well polishing those sandcast valve covers too... I always hated the bolt-recesses. Most of mine didn't get...
In my neighborhood and didn't even stop for a drink... for shame!!! Drive safely:)
No, but you can get your basecoat laid down. That way you can drive it while you spray some metalflake and scallops :cool:
Low-buck? I would sand the whole car with 180 on a DA, then move to 320, then take it to Maaco for a $249 paint job.
