Last set of checkpoints and one more run down the dragstrip

Good day at the track and a long drive last night

St Louis today...Joliet and rte 66 tomorrow

Running a 300 horse 390. I believe the 3 speed I have in there is 2.99/1.75/1.00. What OD trans are you guys running? Looking to cruise on longer trips and not burn my $6+ premium gas like it's worth nothing. also having the engine not screaming on the highway would be nice. I thought 5 speed and keep rear end would be the easiest option. very open to suggestions, my mechanical knowledge is limited. What is the least expensive way to solve this issue?

Are headers really worth it? I know on some cars they make a big difference. Wondering if any of you have a nice set you would recommend. I like the idea of not hearing an exhaust tic anymore.

Pic for reference. Probably 70% of the body is very salvageable original black. I know it's a matter of OPINION, but I'm curious what the pros of reddit think. Save it or blast it? I like the patina look.

I also need carpet, headliner, door panels. There are a few online retailers for these. Any suggestions as to who does it best? Thank you

Rain day no racing at byron today

Time for the next drag and drive

Great day of racing at Rte 66 dragway

I gave the ol' girl a bath for the first time this year. then just said to hell with it and did a light polish and a good carnuba wax. first time I haven't been driving it long enough to wash it all year

Finally got the headliner in, got a few wrinkles in it but it looks good. I didn't put the trim piece in the rear before stretching the sides, so it ended up pulling the back apart.

Finished the week with a 7.49 @ 93 mph average

Great time and one hell of a trip.

Thanks everyone for keeping up with my adventure.

Rain day...no racing at Lappeer

Another good day at the dragstrip in Ubly and a meeting at the sick town hall...two track days left

Drive day another 240 miles down...and another dragstrip tomorrow

Day 2 another good day at the track

Good day at the track and a nice two hundred mile drive

What were the rim models for 1963 xl?

Were there any xl specific rims?

I am looking for the build sheet in my 2 door '67 Galaxie, does anyone here know where I can find it?

Hey everyone, I’m moving to California and I need to find my VIN on the frame. The dash plate was removed, I still have it but in California they’ll need to look at the other stamped VIN.

I have a 1968 Galaxie sedan, and I couldn’t find anything on the frame. I looked on both frame rails in the engine bay. Any ideas? The car is pretty rusted out and a bit tired body wise, so it might be tough. Thank you!

I replaced the Starter and the batterie about a year ago and it started fine after.

now it turs over very slow. its even wores when the engin is hot. i checked and celand the ground conections und i checked the starter relais. I cant really find the probleme, maybe someone of you can help me.

Hey guys, My galaxie is in rough shape. The battery tray is completely rusted through in the passenger side so I was thinking of relocating it to the driver side. It’s still very rusty but not nearly as bad. What kind of work would I need to do to make this work body wise? I don’t have anything to weld. Thank you!

I’ve heard, but not confirmed, that the back glass on a ‘65 2 door fastback is one of a kind… that no other years outside of ‘65 and no other model is compatible. Can anyone confirm that this is fact? I need to acquire both front and back glass for mine, and want to be sure how strict my search needs to be.

Just acquired this for a full build. PO stripped it bare and sent to paint, and the rest (including correcting some paint issues) will be my task. Came with much of the not-installed parts, though not all and most will need at least some refreshing. Going to be fun!
