An update on the 1959 Ford galaxy Fairlane 500. The body work is FINALLY done and the first coat of blue is on everywhere that is going blue, with the exception of the engine compartment having two coats. The areas that are still gray, are going to match the hoods cream color. When all the stainless and chrome is reattached it will once again be a show stopper !
71 LTD drove home with a very happy customer at the wheel, he will be bringing it back by after putting some miles on it, for retuning and re-torquing of the heads and intake manifold, and a general going over after sitting for so many years.
The 77 F150 is proceeding, along with the 48 Packard.
I'm almost very excited to announce and show y'all the newest project, this 1967 Fairlane 500 XL convertible. It's going to be a long term project. It will be a bit of a challenge, as it has a lot of rust. But, after going over it with my trusty hammer, along with talking with the customer, it shouldn't be too bad.

After a lot of work, hopefully, is finally finished. With the exception of flushing the milky oil, and changing the oil, along with resetting the timing, and refilling the transmission after changing the transmission oil pan gasket that was leaking. Not to mention the vacuum modulator that was worn out.
Yeah, and a shopping trip to town for "top off".

While installing the passenger side head gasket, I found the last place had installed the old one backwards !
Sealed off the main cooling passageway largely leading to this whole boondoggle. The reused old one sure didn't help matters.
The added pressure that built up in the head from the boiling coolant caused these issues.
Luckily, it didn't cause warpage in the block or head. Ford tough meant something back then !
