  • 62 Galaxie update

    Well after the vehicle transport disaster and a several months later i finally got my settlement . http://www.dfwmustangs.net/forums/sh...hlight=galaxie

    I'm calling this project "Future Divorce"

    Pulled the damaged fender off, which was a bitch btw. Once you think you have ever nut/bolt removed, there is another hiding somewhere.


    Ive talked to CRASH and he's going pinstripe the new fender to match the left side.


    Found a guy on the H.A.M.B down in Cleburne who had a fender. Old retired guy w/ a ton of old nos parts and he was cheap. Bought a fender and every piece of trim for a 62 Galaxie he had. Paid $160 and i'll easily make $500 once i start putting it all on ebay.


    I thought this car has a Cruise 'O but to my surprise a C6. A leaky junkyard stock C6 but a C6 none the less. So i pulled it out and sent it to Broader Performance. It's getting a 500hp kit w/ a wide ratio gear set and a custom 2800 stall torque converter.




    Been on jacks for awhile now.


    Decided to pull the top end. The car was stored for 4 years and all the gaskets started to dry out. She was leaking from every where.


    Intake valve stem on the #1 bank has major wear. No telling where the metal shavings has made it way too.



    Ceramic coated the intake and rebuilt the carbs. HPTrends was a big help on this one. Come to find out the carb rod links where way off.


    You remember the stories John use to tell us about the the three chinamen playing Fantan? This guy runs up to them and says, "Hey, the world's coming to an end!" and the first one says, "Well, I best go to the mission and pray," and the second one says, "Well, hell, I'm gonna go and buy me a case of Mezcal and six whores," and the third one says "Well, I'm gonna finish the game." I shall finish the game, Doc.

          Yes, the only estimate I got was from Advantage Autoworks, which was very high btw. The trucking company insurance was slow but they didn't fight me at all on the quote. I wrote a long email to the adjuster explaining the details about this 49 year car and the parts are hard to find ect. I've done all the work myself beside the paint on the fender, so ive made out pretty good.

                      Picked the fender up from the body shop on Friday, just mounted it today. They did a damn good job on matching the paint.

                        Very nice ride. Us older guys remember when FE blocks were new and hot. Enjoy a really neat car that will be a blast to drive.

                            I posted these in Crash's thread too, all finished. Took 4 months to find that damn right outboard headlight bezel.
