Friday night I was looking around Jay Leno's Garage ( http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/ ) and checked out his current project- a '66 Galaxie 500. I had heard his story many years ago about how he pestered his father into letting him choose the engine for the new family car. A 427 CI with muffler delete package. When his father took delievery of the car 4 weeks later, he was not very happy with his son. Jay's project car was found in Canada as a blue 500 XL. The car was repainted maroon, shod with American Torque Thrusts, and a 7 Litre Ford big block built by Jack Roush. Master Chin's Galaxie is the inspiration for my build.
My build will be a bit different using the AMT Ford Galaxie 500 kit. The motor will be the 427 CI with either the single 4 bbl. or if I can find an oval air cleaner, dual quad carbs. The wheels will be Cragar SS mags, my favorites!
My paint is Tamiya TS-54 Light Metallic Blue.
More to come.....
