Way Cool

Travis,

Your Galaxie looks AMAZING! Can't wait to see it in person

Looks great Travis. Can't wait to see that one at the Bash next year. I like the anti-roll bar. Was that a kit or did you make that one from scratch. I'd love to have those 5 levers sticking out of my trans tunnel. Looks like a lot of fun.

Awesome work AND car Travis,can't wait to race w/ya next year.

travis looks awsome- where did you buy them swings out from ? starting a 10 cage for a buddy next week,would like to find a set like that -thanks

Thanks for the compliments on the car guys. I know it has been a long drawn out process but it should be nice when I get it finished. Jerry, The swing out kits came from A.R.T. in St.Pete Fla.

512,
It is a ART 36" anti roll pro kit. It comes in peices and you have to put most of it together. I just left enough room on mine to get it in where it needed to be. If you look closely to the crossmember that the anti-roll attaches to, I added that when I put the 4 link kit in it probably 3+ years ago. I made it recess into the floor pan so it could be kept as high in the car as possible because the car was going to set so low. I had a plan then, but until I started putting it together for the life of me I could ot remember.

On ART answering questions you are right. Corky handles all my orders and questions. When I ordered the Ultra-Pro 4 link kit it came without any paper work or instructions. I called and asked Corky if he could send me some. He told me it did not come with paper work and that it was intended for chassis shops who had done thier own thing with the kit. None the less he hooked me up after a few conversations over 2 days. When he asked the cars wheelbase and tire size, weight and engine / trans combo I told him everything. I finally told him it was a 62 Galaxie....................... he thought that was cool as hell and insisted that I should see this guy's 65 Galaxie 10" tire car that he just bought , BBF and ran through the mufflers on the street. I asked him if the guy's name was Bill Wilson ........he said yes, you know him?? Then I told him it was my old car ad I was building another. Small world.

That's pretty cool Travis. I never realized Corky ended up with the car. Small world indeed!

Corky never ended up with the car , Bill got the car off of me, ART is just around the corer from Bills shop / Tubby's Customs. They are all aquaintances. Sorry for the confusion.

Travis
