No pics, but my wife has an old Galaxie that has been sitting since she graduated college

Her plans were always to have it done, but I'd be amazed if she ever drove it out from her dad's shop. It'd be cool to make it a project, but she's shown pretty much zero actual interest in the past 10 years about it, so I'm not exactly eager to bother. Maybe in 14 years when he gets his license, our son will become a car guy and it'll finally have a purpose

The plan now is to get enough done where I can put an ORV on it and trail ride it, and then winter projects after that to finish it up.

You need to start a build thread. This has been a bucket list project for some time.

Yea, I probably should. That's a good idea.

Well, I changed my original plan on what I was going to do to the roof after I bought my 70 Imperial back. I was going to pattern it out, but now I'm just going to candy it root beer brown. The Imperial has a crazy roof, & I'm going to try & sell the wagon. I figured a patterned out flaked roof might narrow an already narrow buying audience.
