'66 Galaxie 'vert Hack-up SAVED! kick ass! see how! Side "B"

big THANKS to everyone for coming out!
...a poor old '66 Galaxie ragtop somehow got really butchered by an unknown redneck hacker, beyond belief, and probably left for dead. Follow along as it's saved, with a tight time and cash budget, and a ton of stress, soon it will be done. A bit slow in places, this is the review of the slaughter that the car was subjected to, and it's reversal process.
Part 3: Side "B"
Part 2: Trunk floor
Part 1: Side "A"
Part 4: "Bodywork" nowhere near ready
Soon it will be straight, rust free, and sporting a rebuilt 460!
...and check out the other saved junk, then save your own!
----NEXT up! the 66 ford 1/2t!
V6 / 5 spd Hilux swap! starting now!

The Ford Galaxie was a full-size car built in the United States by the Ford Motor Company for model years 1959 through 1974. The name was used for the top models in Ford's full-size range from 1959 until 1961, in a marketing attempt to appeal to the excitement surrounding the Space Race. In 1962, all full-size Fords wore the Galaxie badge, with "500" and "500/XL" denoting the higher series. The Galaxie 500/LTD was introduced for 1965 followed by the Galaxie 500 7-Litre in 1966. The "regular" Galaxie 500 continued below the LTD as Ford's mid-level full-size model from 1965 until its demise at the end of the 1974 model year.
The Galaxie was the high volume counterpart to the Chevrolet Impala. Some Galaxies were high-performance, racing specification machines, a larger forebear to the muscle car era. Others were plain family sedans.
A new model was introduced for 1966; the Galaxie 500 7 Litre, fitted with a new engine, the 428 cu in (7.0 L) Thunderbird V8. The Galaxie 500 would be the #3-selling convertible in the U.S. in 1966, with 27,454 sold; it was beaten by the Mustang (at 72,119, by more than 2:1) and by the Impala at 38,000.

Beautiful Car to restore & save! Good Luck 🍀😋 nice work & project, i hope you'll success about the restoration ☺ I commented another Video of your junk yard tour. I told there about my present project, the '67 Chevy Caprice/Impala 4 Door Hardtop what i'm restoring with my dad. I'm looking for parts for this.. I know about that work to rebuild all 4 wheel arches at the fenders quarters with new self handmade sheet metal...i also rebuild the whole lower windshield frame, the "4 Door dog legs" & many more. I found the Car in Internet after a big search. I've done all by myself from searching, importing and still the restoration. Nobody had told that this is easy, but it's very importand, every saved classic is worth the work and time i think 😋 And i'm so afraid about to see you also doing this! You're even Not a parts changer, you're also a real restorer, nice!👍👍👍 Cheers Till
