Title: A momentous occasion
Post by: GTA390 on June 27, 2010, 06:44:01 PM
After over 14 months of pulling parts of the Galaxie i am proud to announce that yesterday the 26th June at approx 2:30 pm the first nut and bolt was actually inserted and the first part was installed in what can only be descibed as a emotional time, for me anyway.

Send a copy of your post to your bank manager see if you get a bottle champagne in the mail.
When i started the resto on my Challenger it was all excitment, but soon found out that every bolt was like a nail in the credit card coffin.
Sorry to spoil your day but life in the resto game is a bitch.
Good luck with it and remember if you need help i am only a phone call away.
Cheers, Chris.

Yeh Joe real happy with the colour, well whats there at the moment, most of the car is in "Green Valley Racing Grey" :lol:
Once she is full colour will decide wether to add a stripe or 2, have a bit of another idea to break it up, mainly because its a big car witha lot of 1 colour.
The little 428 was going to be running 4 twin down draught Webers but have been advised by manufacturer that Webers don't like valve overlap, well i got plenty of that so the Webers are out, but not all bad, i am now looking at putting fuel injection on the little sucker.;if that fails screw it im going with a Paxton supercharger.
Diff is getting dropped of today to chage gearing and change to a lsd, once the suspension is put back on the frame goes back under and back to the panel guy.

I want to get this sucker on the road now :rub:
