The story

This is my 1963 r/w Galaxie project!

It is currently a 6 cylinder, 3 on the tree car but over time all that will change. I have owned several 1963 galaxies, but to build a sleeper-type car has always been what I wanted! Dog-dish wheel covers, bench seat, radio delete and of course a 427 ( a REAL FE one!) under the hood!

My current plans for this car over the winter are to do some rust repair and cleanup the interior, maintenance the current mechanicals and change to front disk breaks. Add some new tires and then driver her for awhile while I work on some other projects I have going.
