A lil'buddy come by with a 1967 ford galaxy 500 ( 390/auto)
he just picked up, tuned it up, checked the brakes out, greased the wheel bearings pulled most of the trim (wish I got a before shot) set the carb ,fixed a few small things I didn't like ( all with him helping ) removed all the paint and primer from the chrome , then popped some dents , smoothed and massaged some panels got it all one color ,masked and taped ( free handed some flames and striped w/aqua blue metal flake same as interior ,my mix )
now the bad part ... used rattle can primer (but didn't go to bare metal ) because he's going to paint in march or april ( so don't put this in T.D.! rAtrOd thread ) . And he's stoked to drive it now so thought I'd show it off he's been driving it around all over showing every body .

WaIT "am I the old guy now" ... "I'm only thirty ! I let him use rattlecan so I can't be that old ...

We even went cruising ( him following of course ) with him, w/my 64' Galaxie then the Nova ,it got me & the wife stoked just to see him. we even picked up a few straglers a 50' Ford ,5?' Plymoth & a 68" Chevy.
parked and had a visit, going to try and all get togeather and do it again.
