It dont have to be Black Friday to spend it that way. Heck I would enjoy it if I was to do the same on any given day. However details on the Galaxie would be helpfull.

It's been chopped 3,1/2", Got some rusty lake pipes :), and door handles have been shaved. Needs some tlc but I've got lots of that. Now I just need some time. This should be a fun car for us, we will be cruising next summer for sure.

Nice! Those 60's are so rare, I hardly ever see them at shows. Looks solid too.
Good luck with it.

Thanks everyone. The windshield is Lexan, all the rest is glass. The grill is made from Harley exhaust shields.  She will rest under the lean to until I can get her in the shop for a good going over, want to make it safe before I take it down the road. Plus we got salt here, lots of it all winter long and I don't want this to be too rusty. I wish summer was starting instead of winter starting.

Kick ass brother. You see the pics of my old 59? It was a more-door, but, she was awesome to drive and hell to stop.  8)

Yup, the brakes will need to have a dual cylinder master cylinder and might put discs up front, oh ya, power booster too.
I'm so happy to have it here, just can't stop smiling! :D :D :D
