New guy from AZ
I just found this site.I am restoring one of the 50 64' Galaxie lightweights that were built with the 427 hi riser drag package.I raced this car back then,sold it in 66' and found it rusting in a guys backyard five years ago in CA near where I lived at the time.I am trying to put it back like it was then when I ran AA/S in NHRA Div 7.Almost done.

welcome to the forum fellow Arizonian. I learned to drive and got my license in a 64 2dr Galaxie. I did notice something......are those Keystone wheels?What if the "Hokey Pokey" is what it's really all about?

Welcome. What a great car you have. Please post some pictures for us when you can. Also love the fact you have a personal history with the very same one.

Welcome to CHR!!! Looking forward to more pics of your project. The car looks great. Nice to restore something you have had a previous association with, always makes it that more satisfying.Bob

Welcome.
To both CHR and Kingman.
Looks like you may be just down the street from me.
If the needs-a-little-love-Fairlane sitting on the trailer is any indication.
Here's a nice little website for local stuff.

There's quite a hot rod presence in town and lots to do.
Today, welcome cars from "The Great Race" down at Locomotive Park near Mr. D's 50's oriented cafe and across from the Power House on Andy Devine Ave (also known as Route 66).
Start's at 12:05 PM, should continue for a while as the cars dribble in.
Saturday mornings, 0800 doughnuts at the Donut Shop on Stockton Hill Rd.
just down the hill from the graveyard.
Saturday evenings, rod run at WhataBurger on Beverly abut a half mile east of Stockton Hill Rd. on the north side of the freeway.
6 PM's about the right time to show up, a lot of folks don't come in till 7 PM when it's starting to get shady and cool down a bit.
Lots of parking available.
A few Saturday's back, about 50 or so cars, last Saturday about 30.
Drag Racing on the city streets in September.
Car & airplane show at the airport along with 1/8th mile drag racing in early October.
A couple of pics attached.
One of the Northern Locomotive at Locomotive Park.
The other of my roadster . . . stop by and say hello.

Well I've sure gotten old too so don't worry about it! I've had two bypass surgeries, new knees, fought prostate, cancer and diabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine,...
