Here's a quick walk around video from yesterday. I hesitate in posting because it's not cleaned up too good and it's covered in swirl marks from compound buffing, I havent polished yet, which will remove the swirls.
I ran it down the road yesterday, I have a syncro issue in the trans from 2nd to 3rd that I will have to work on, other than that she did fine.
I'm working on the exterior trim now, once that goes on the rest of the interior can go in.
The nice even body panel gaps have been clear to see in your previous pictures, but filming this bad boy out in the sun really lets the reflections show off the flat and true sheet metal. Great work!
Oh, and I avoided looking closely at the reflection of you in the paint -- I recall that you always work in the nude to avoid paint scratches caused by a belt buckle or a button.
Can't believe how fast you put that thing back together. Didn't think it was possible to outdo your Roadrunner, but you did one sweet job on the Galaxie....
Beautiful job, Dave. And she sounds as sweet as she looks.

Mad skills my friend! Wow!

I've been working on trim. Taking some little dents out and a quick polish. I decided to do a brushed finish in the center of the panel rather than paint. I kind of like it.
I would not have picked a car from that era as having this kind of potential for being sharp looking after a good restoration. That car just SPEAKS to a man.
