Classic car restoration.
Slam:
Hey all, Slots are my secondary hobby. I spend most of my spare time working on old cars. Unfortunately, mostly on other peoples cars instead of my own. Currently I am doing a ground up resto on my 64 Galaxie 500 2 door sedan. Frame was completely stripped down & refinished. I painted it electric blue with pearl white flames, installed all new suspension components, rebuilt the diff, etc. While the body was off the frame, I replaced some floor pans, stripped the complete underside & refinished. Engine: started out with a 74 302 / c4 trans. stroked it to a 347, swapped to a built c6 trans.worked over a set of 65 289 closed chamber heads. comp cams roller rockers, cam, lifters, springs, gear drive, Keith b pistons (running around 10.2 : 1 compression) billet electronic ignition, crane cams control box. & so on. Just dropped the body on the frame, & installed the engine & tranny last week. Time to get crackin on the body.

It's awesome to see the old steel being put back in play! Keep at it and don't forget to show us pictures along the way!

But we'll worth it , sweet ride,you have there,

Thank you. You still have the Nomads? It's funny how a quick fix-up job on a car can turn into a 2 year project. Famous words anyone who restore's anything has used- "While I have it apart I might as well ....." :279-
