Here is my project car. I’ve wanted one forever and finally got it. I just started taking the front end apart to deal with the typical rust issues! Just waiting for a cherry picker to remove the 289. Then I will be able to start patching. My goal is to do the whole front end first. Just a pain because its a true subframe car so I cant take the inner skirts and radiator shroud off unless I drill out the welds. I’m just happy to have one of my dream cars in the garage.
looks good to me.
I want to post some pics from the computer but dont know how! Want to show some progress pics! I will get them on here soon.
nice…my dad has a 66 galaxie…pretty good lookin
What a piece of crap, why don’t you get a real car like a chevy or something? 
j/k can’t wait to see this project progress. Take lots of pics.
btw did you ever get that tank for your welder?
there is a 72 merc on craigslist cheap. with a 429, buy it for the engine / trans and throw it in this
I thought you were serious about the chevy thing. Blood started pumping a bit. I love this car just needs some work but thats the best thing about it. Dont worrry I love old chevies and dodges too. My end goal is lowered with 18x10’s in the rear and 17/18x6’s in the front. I want to put a stroker motor in it 347/408? Just trying to keep it different. If you guys read my post about rims I dont want what everyone else has-- torquethrusts, cragers, drag stars. I was thinkin that the solid chrome rims would be cool because it will be lowered. I think I might go white with a matt black hood. drag style! Any suggestions would be great guys. Oh and I didnt get the tank for the welder yet. Trying to find the cheapest place to rent one for a year. Thanks for any input guys!!
You may not need to remove the whole front end to do the repairs. Drilling out spotwelds is pretty tedious, avoid it at cost 
I will avoid it! I’ve been reading a lot! Just want to do things right! I dont care how long it takes ya know? Theres no way I am taking that front end off! I was thinking of putting a big block in it. My fathers buddy has a 460 in his I think it go’s 10’s low 11’s. But I would rather have something light weight.
Turbo 302 is what I’ve been considering :tspry:
You should get yourself one of the 427 fiberglass hoods, shaves 60lbs. off the front end:
Progress so far. I am definitely getting the 427 fibreglass hood. I love that one! Need to save up for that! I think they are like $400-500.
nice car…looks like you have alot of work ahead of ya.
Thats as big as the pics get when I upload them. The car has some rust. More surface rust than anything. A couple tougher issues but it will come together. I love working on this stuff!! Thats the best part!!
What’s fun is everything comes apart with a standard socket set, a Phillips screwdriver, a breaker bar and harsh language
