65 Ford Galaxie
by dufasdave Tue 04 Aug 2009, 1:33 pm
Finished this today, body is painted in Tamiya pearl white roof and mica blue body. Didn't get too concerned with the underbody as I fiqured it was a street/strip car. Built for driving/racing not looks. Its running a big block engine from a Shelby Mustang kit with fabricated cold air intake and box. I made the exhaust from aluminium tubing. Scratchbuilt roll cage, hinged bonnet, disc brakes all round and very basic interior (as seen in the workshop pics). Hope you all like.
Whats a drag car without a bit of tyre rubber at the rear?

Nice one Dave. What's the rubber shreds made from? Tyre sandings?

Nice job - I like the bonnet hinges and the overall "tuff" appearance.
