Garages at Night Thread

[jgbrueck]

As requested, here are a few pictures of the Mustang and Galaxie; both are works-in-progress, but they're fun!

The Mustang is a '69 Mach1 with a 390 and 4-speed, Baer brakes all around, and a basically stock suspension with subframe connectors; I rebuilt the motor a couple of years ago with Edelbrock heads/intake/cam/carb/etc. Hopefully next spring it'll get a T-56 Magnum - right now freeway RPM's are scary with that 4-speed; 3200 RPM at 70 mph!

The Galaxie is a '63.5 500XL, with a 352 (for now) and a Cruise-o-matic. I put Baer brakes all around and tubular front suspension arms/swaybar. Next up for it are a rebuilt 390 and more modern 4-speed auto. This is the, "go take the kids to get ice cream" car...

I don't actually have any really good pictures of either car; these are mostly old, but a couple newer ones of the Galaxie with it's new teardrop hood in the shop...
Thanks,
Jeff

Thanks for the memories. My mother had a 64 Ford Galaxie four door that she bought brand new off the lot in 64. It had a 390 BB in it. She had the car over 30 years before she finally sold it. It looks just like this one:

Here is my shop, it's kinda small and full of stuff (motorcycle, truck rebuild, woodworking tools and a lazy dog). I'm like everyone else, no matter how big or small I spend a bunch of time there...

O.K., I know I'm not the world's greatest photographer. But here is one of my garage at night, my grill smokin' away, and my garage dog--so, how many threads did I cover in this pic? My drink is in my hand otherwise it would be in the pic too!

Working with the utility light on the floor. Electric isn't in yet. Once I get it finished I'll post some proper pics. The Polygal isn't installed in the clerestory either.

[planecrazy]

Great pictures!

New guy here from NE Ohio. When I saw this thread, I knew I could jump in as I had a picture that would fit the thread. This is from a few years ago but most everything is the same. Although our cars are not in the picture, it is our garage, attached to our home.

This forum may cause me problems, I may already be addicted. New construction is in my future. $$$$

I agree

If you are referring to the cylindrical object on the right, it's a radiant gas heater.
Check out the build thread-well worth a read.
