So, for now shes a pretty stock 1963 1/2 Ford Galaxie 500. Under the hood is a 2bbl 390, that is up to this point fairly stock. The original 3 speed cruise-o-matic is there as well. 

A previous owner installed Cragar S/S wheels and tinted the windows, I'm in the process of installing a new CD player/mp3 controller where there was a previous CD Player, as well as installing new speakers in the kick panels and rear deck. There will be a centerchannel and subs added at a later date as well.

The motor will eventually be fuel injected. The trans will HOPEFULLY be swapped for the new tremec in the V6 Mustang. I could keep going but I'm tired and its late.

Right now my Father and I are working on revamping a bit, the engine has been rebuilt as a 390 now, the trans has new seals and filter, and everything we could get to has been stripped, painted and reinstalled, for now the original 2 barrel carb is back on but soon I'll either switch to a factory 4 barrel or an Edelbrock one.travisroy's 1963 Ford Galaxie

Nice ride!! I have been looking to get a set of 428 heads and put on my 390, but not real sure yet. The carb is a 600 holley and I think I need to go bigger, because it does not have the same get up and go it use to when I had a holley 750 on it?

I have one just like yours except I have the center hood ornament and 3 on the tree with the overdrive cable. 1963 1/2 was the year Ford factory racing changed forever. The Galaxie started it and I'm sure you get looks on the street especially the jetfighter tail lights. Good luck and keep us posted! She is a beauty, too.
