My project:
Ford Galaxie Sunliner 1959
I bought the car in august -01
It has been sleeping in a hangar in Texas since -75 so there is quite a lot of work to be done.
New pics and info will be here as often as I have the time.
Questions or ideas - feel free to contact me

Frame off time.
Does anyone know why there is a body to frame insulator taped
to the frame?
Was that a normal procedure on the factory?

Now the frame is blasted and painted. Brakes and bushings are
next.
The body is blasted and protected with some paint.

All rust has been taken care of.
Body has been stripped to the metal on the outside
( I could not blast because the risk for deformations )

and the body will go to the paint shop hopefully in the end of january.

I've been driving about 200 miles this summer but the Cruise-O-Matic
transmission dont work properly so I have to change it for a rebuilt one this
winter.
Left to do is a powerful sound system, a few mouldings and some small details.
I'm sorry for the low quality in some pictures - high quality
pics are coming.

Almost done...
Rebuilt tranny mounted.
Just a few mouldings left to mount.
It is driveable though and we have been to a few local events.
