New! '64 Ford Galaxie sports coupe

[Pete]

Hello to all,

Found the site with help from an El Camino-autocrossing guy here in Atlanta. Looks like just what I need to help simplify my decision-making process! (Yikes!!) Really though, many neat, original solutions to cool projects. Mine? Just trying to get the darn thing to turn left AND right....while smokin' all the UPS trucks around here (those brown diesels can move).

Hopefully, the only two action photos I have will load. From 2008 HSR Mitty-fest at Road Atlanta, smile and wave to the corner 7 workers at 4,000rpm in 3rd gear!

Cool car. Kinda has that vintage NASCAR look. My dad owned several 63 1/2 and 64 Galaxies back in the day. My favorite was a 63 1/2 that had a 390 with 3 two barrel. Lots of fun that car was... Looks like you're having a lot of fun with yours.
