[@monfrig6959]

nice car !

[@jacobohara9650]

candy apple 🍎 with the wheel combo would be sick love the channel bro keep up the great content

[@davidandrews9670]

leaves driveway scraping everything: 🎶low rider going slower🎶

[@andrewkemp6477]

Love to see all the hard work come together. I think a dark grey metallic or maybe a dark blue would look excellent on it.

[@NorthernPerformanceGroup]

I couldn’t agree more a darks metallic blue or a grey/silver metallic

[@benshore7357]

Almost there. Making it happen. What about Wimbledon white 👍

[@davidvincenzini930]

So excited for you, can't wait to see it when it's all painted. Keep up the awesome work. 🤘🏼

[@93jake81]

the steelies look real good i gotta admit

[@joshuanegron3497]

Steelies definitely look cool, but the sizing is too small. You should definitely look into Detroit Steel Wheels, they offer 18-20 inch sleelies

[@fatdan172501]

Proper advice

[@chriscurry236]

Coming along nicely 👍as for color,I my self would go vintage burgundy metallic, if not that a medium blue,like a Gulfstream Aqua, just my 2 cent's though 👍

[@franksherryt4500]

Craig, of course you get the final say on color schemes. I think the best color for 64's was Rangoon Red, with a white top. That is my preference. That will be the colors on my 64, if I don't go with a Ned Jarrett Nascar theme. Keep up the great work, is coming together.

[@t4mfx661]

A metallic red with a white top would look stunning

[@fordfandiecast]

An original white color or a smoky grey would look awesome. Didnt like back on ground but understand with the steeling on it was just sitting that way for now

[@sgtfroman]

I am so excited for you!! I can't wait to see after the paint! It's going to be epic!! On another channel I watch they just did a Hellcat in Dodge Go Mango paint. I think that color is awesome and would look great with your black wheels.

[@KaiserBruh]

BRUH the editor is GOLDEN with these edits lmao

[@yamahaxs6501]

the Galaxies have come sooo far! go with the new ford gray with the super fine flake. looks straight gray from far, but tons of metal flake up close

[@ericargo9157]

Charcoal gray would give it a very menacing vibe.

[@robertironside3166]

Heya Craig, regarding colour for the white canvas and all it's NOS metal :-)) As my wife would tell you, red heads wear Green better than anybody can. I think if you went with an Ocean Green Pearl sort of deep but still fairly brite colour and maybe a pistachio sort of green for the roof but mainly the Ocean sort of green pearl or light metallic if pearl is too expensive. A few coats of clear over that then cut and buff... it would suit you perfect. :-)) I'm sure almost anybody would dig on that. You going to stroke that old 352? I know it's pretty common to stroke a 351 Windsor to a 427 in the Mustangs these days [to keep it a small block package]. ;-) Don't vinyl the roof on either of them as it will bring the rust right back to it post haste and destroy your great job up there! If you insist on selling it, if I were your folks and had the cash I'd buy it to keep it in the family :-) Ever think of putting Galaxie gauges and appointments in a Falcon and twin the colours with one of the Galaxies? Drop one of those small block ooomph jobs in it.. yada yada [a fantastic project to do... then the medium size of the trio would be a fairlane of the same era]. :-)))

[@rawdyrider]

Whatever color you choose keep the roof and pillars black.....it will look nice in two tone.

[@jscrummett]

Have had similar issues with back wheels on my '65, found that it works best to slide the wheel face down under the drum and then bring the top up with the drum inside the bowl of the wheel.

[@2koolchris291]

I love the galaxies. I wish I can afford to buy this 4000 dollar64 galaxy 500 that just popped up near me. It has a recently refreshed engine and it has all the trim. Only problem it’s a four door. But not too rusty for a northern car.

[@esmundolarajr3049]

You should get it. You'll love it either way. You can still have fun with it and on the plus it's a classic. Trust me you won't regret it one bit.

[@2koolchris291]

@@esmundolarajr3049 sadly I don’t have the money for it. Jut a kid with a dream. Hopefully when I get a job this summer after I get my license I can find one to call my own.

[@esmundolarajr3049]

@@2koolchris291 oh for sure. My 68 c10 is my first project car and it can get expensive. Just some advice, write down what you want to do to the car you get because if you are like me and change your mind alot, it can get expensive really fast. Remember it can take awhile, I haven't driven my truck in 2 years.

[@Scrapy-ih7ob]

I hope they use dura glass in that roof seam, where the lead was. otherwise, cheap old Bondo won't last, in that weather. or if their good enough shop at least Lead back in place.

[@douglasbrown6458]

How about a metallic brown. With the black rims and the chrome it will rock.

[@RODZILLA65]

Looks like a taildragger from the sixties... all you need are some titanium skid plates!

[@kpheathen9370]

Coming along nicely can't wait to see the finished product.

[@STEVEM730]

Steely's with white walls and factory XL 500 hubcaps. Painted the factory gold.

[@tyler47198]

Dark gray with metallic flak

[@RODZILLA65]

My Dad's favorite car ever, was a 64 1/2 Galaxie 500 XL 427 dual quad 4 speed. The man he bought is from ordered it as a daily driver/weekend oval racer. 140 mph speedo, 8 grand tack. He had to buy the biggest tires he could find in 67' every two months.

[@kodysmith435]

Black Sparkle(S2-PBC100) from House of Kolor would look sick with the chrome and black spokes

[@danielmcqueen1024]

Go back to the Factory color... Hopefully Oxford White. My 1971 Galaxie500 is Ford Artic White... used to be, will be going back with orignal with added Pearl. She has a bourgandy interior 😎

[@1964Ethan]

2 color options. - 1995 Ford, Bright Sapphire Metallic, Color Code: JA/M6704 - 2004-2008 Chrysler Crossfire, Sapphire Silver Blue Metallic, Color Code: BS3

[@maxnichols1727]

Still laughing over the tie rod ends. Been there done that. By the way, disc brake conversion would give you more room on the back wheels.

[@nicholasfisher2595]

The galaxie is looking good! Awesome video as always!!🤘🤘

[@HansenSpeedShop]

nice man gonna be cool to see it in one color!

[@KaiserBruh]

ngl the squat look fits these older cars. not Trucks thats a stupid idea, but in an old lowered car a 2in squat looks nice

[@ProjectMercuryMarauder]

It’s awesome either way I wanna try and put 14s back onto my 63 Marauder for originality but I also wanna keep the option open for moving up in the world (in wheel size that is…). Lol

[@littlecesar003]

I love the way black looks on the old fords, but what colors are you thinking about...

[@tonymartin5104]

If the interior is going to be black I would do a nice red or maroon it would be different from the other galaxies I've seen .

[@jaketaylor8837]

I love the steelies on that thing, so cool

[@johnsarian_cu]

Agree. Steelies look right on cars with primer or less that finished bodywork. But when the body and paint look like 8+/10 I'm all for styled wheels. Steel just doesn't look right on shiny straight car.

[@tompreciado863]

I would love to see it in a ford lithium grey color with some of the trim blacked out to match the wheels.

[@thunderbolt2277]

lowered white Galaxie with all trim intact and red interior

[@RODZILLA65]

Jet black with bright red/black interior with the black material from the period.

[@robertironside3166]

The farts on lame moments... have me laughing each and every time you drop one in on the edit. Too funny. Keep that in from here on out for sure :-)

[@Elismith100]

The final say is yours bud but as far as opinions I think the original gold, battleship gray, or a dark blue would look stunning. Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing what's next

[@robertl779]

Looks good. I think a dark blue would look good on it.

[@richlocker1458]

Craig, please paint this Galaxy Tangerine Orange with a white & black interior. Check out the’64 Fairlane Barry White turned into Thinderbolt clonone on Super Muscle Cars. You’ll see! Rich from R.I.

[@raythomasson8660]

Perfect!! I love it!!

[@aubcivil98]

Dark blue with a gunmetal grey top and bumpers

[@MustangGuy6501]

Awesome man 20s for sure blackcherry red would look sweet

[@clayfacundus482]

Man you seem like pretty cool peeps brother.. Too bad you on other end of spectrum out in Shaky.. Well Ca. We over in Florida. I been thinking about throwing the steelies on too my man... Have a teardrop hood needing paint, maybe do it then. Nice job on the rod's sir! Clay

[@JS-Galaxie500]

I'm curious, what size wheel / tyre combo are the steelies ? I've got a 64 Galaxie and I'm trying to decide what size to go with. I don't want really low profile, what you have there looks about right to me

[@richardlovins6222]

Mint green with a touch of orange in it

[@crookedbird6589]

I have always liked the factory 64 maroon. But mabe a deep purple would look good. I have seen a Galaxie in orange that was incredible.

[@project71ventura69]

Bad ass video man 💯 got a new sub can’t wait to see more

[@kennyvelez8060]

If the body is straight (and it seems to be) paint it a lite color to show off the body lines, medium or darker paint hides the bodyline details, look at your black mustang compared to your LTD, lighter paint isn't shadowy compared to the darker paint, I'd suggest maybe a cream color paint (maybe with some metallic or pearl in the clear coat for depth) with a saddle tan interior to show of the interior details,

[@kennyvelez8060]

Oh, if you can find 18s or 20s stock style reversibles and paint them the same as the body color or even the interior color to blend the color scheme together that would look cool and be period correct style wheel

[@marcusmaddenov2451]

Artic white so you can drive it make some cardboard templates and cut some acrylic sheet for wind shield and rear window.

[@Jon_2218]

As per usual, another appreciated video, Thanx Craig. Ps, would disk brakes on the rear make a difference to setting your tires on the car?

[@PrincessTS01]

wear a grinders clear mask to drive without a windshiled

[@eugenesbackyardrepair4593]

Looking good buddy. Maybe charcoal grey slight metal flake

[@yeboscrebo4451]

The patina matches your joe dirt haircut!

[@marcoreyes8532]

Gun metal Gray would looks sick 🔥

[@fixitshop3025]

I like the steelies

[@scottmontgomery2892]

Galaxie is coming along great! I say leave it patina or smoke grey.

[@fahoooooooooooooood1]

Just cut the roof off and make it convertible, it’d be a great socal cruiser

[@JayEllis76]

steelies but a smidge wider, and either gloss or matte black

[@gthompson8464]

Both look dope buddy

[@lenniedyer3765]

What a terrific project. Just remember. Cheep ain’t badass and BAD ASS ANIT CHEEP Lol. Keep doing what your doing.

[@noahschwartz6808]

Personally I would do a Wimbelton white or a slight dark blue…ok I would most likely do the slight dark blue

[@troypeacock5754]

Oxford white with pearl or lead foot gray

[@kmnremtp]

15” Dayton’s and white walls!!!!!

[@t-rodzgarage]

Looks better with those wheels on it. Raise the back a little and it will be good.

[@Rick11231948]

My day 60-70's people went to Tijuana for reasonable upholstery...do they still

[@motownXJdad9565]

i hope youre using self etching primer on that bare metal, that way your body guy can just body work on that without sanding, saving you money

[@DJRubenGAMINGTV]

Did you seam seal the welds and Roof ?

[@jimcabdriver]

I think the original Champaign gold would be sweet you never see them in that color or maybe tweak it just a bit

[@adamramirez1579]

Bro you should paint it a light diamond blue that would be clean!!🔥🔥🔥

[@97VobraOwner]

Any clue on what color you are going with? My old 64 was Chantilly Beige.

[@talivan82]

Good job Craig what brand of primer do you use

[@ny-reaper-trucker]

Looks like an old nascar set up with the steel wheels..

[@anthonycampos9645]

Paint it white or a silver with a red top or maybe a purple I have a 68 ford ltd that's painted purple I know it's not exactly the same car but kinda close I can send you pictures of it, it sits low

[@pauljohnson4846]

Paint it the original golden color it was it looks really sharp.

[@mikemullay5622]

I like the steelies of course, but the droopy back end or "California Rake" I absolutely can not stand!

[@chadkalina1257]

Blue metallic with white interior

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@thatmaverickguy859]

Hopefully one day soon I have a f100 this low on a Vic chassis I already chose the name "maypop"

[@WillyMcCoy50]

"Pretty Good" .... would you take your folks to a restaurant with pretty good food? Patina was cool. 2012. Your hard work and good ideas would be complimented by an A+ Lazer Srraight job.

[@aubcivil98]

You’re finding out why that car came with a bumper jack. Rear wheel change (stock size) is a snap with a bumper jack… albeit a bit more dangerous.

[@rickczopek5503]

Is your white 64 Galaxie road registered? No bonnet no windscreen and roof lining a major distraction, from your other video's. You do have a police force in your area that you have to keep a look out for? Personally 15 inch steelies with dog dish caps and factory R code drag look.

[@ClappedBimmers]

Nothing looks quite like Steelies on a galaxie

[@coryschuyler9071]

White paint with blue metallic flake

[@bigjobford1956]

[@kmnremtp]

You see my video today?! I’m wearing your shirt!!!!

[@akinoffury2332]

Paint it the original gold. Would look damn good with the black wheels

[@daynenmoore]

Should paint it galaxy purple just cuz it says galaxy

[@jasonyoung2464]

Muriatic acid from home depot will remove the surface rust

[@NorthernPerformanceGroup]

That car would look good a dark blue or a silver

[@josephshehan4969]

Id paint it harley black and. ad a air ride system .☺️🙃

[@tanyanickles6917]

You should put some wire wheels and white walls…

[@christophersotelo1964]

Steelies look so much better than the 20s

[@philhunt3908]

20s look way better a nice blue would look good on that car

[@allensnook7760]

White or pearl white,why not?snooky pa.
