This is me and my dads car. Well I should say his car, but I like to think of it as ours. It is a 1965 Galaxie 500, with a 390 and a 3 speed cruise-o-matic trans. We got the car the summer of 05. We pulled the motor and had it rebuilt and board .40 over that winter. We had the cam changed with a comp cam with a 3/4 raise. We got the transmission rebuilt with a new torque converter. We also upgraded carbs from the 650 autolight to the 750 cfm Edelbrock.
Got the Radio put in now. We put 2 4x6 up front with the 6x9s in the rear and it sounds nice. Tried out a 12 inch sub with jennsen 500 watt amp, but my dad thought it was too much bass, so we didn't put it in, after all it is his car, and i wasn't going to push him. We also got someone to laser cut a stainless steel bracket to hold the radio and put our gauges into. Here are some pitures
.
We got our bumper we picked up at a junkyard back, all redone and shinny. It looks much better then the one we had on thats for sure.
.
Get new speakers for the car, much better then the orianl 1 4 x 10 under the front dash. We are going to get a pair of 3" in front, but for now we just got the 6 x 9s also planing on getting a radio next weekend
.
Got the seat covers put on now, the back seat is in place and we started laying down the carpet.
