Good job car looks sooo good and thanks too all that help you get her running ! Now primer get bugs out of it and then paint !

[@williamandrews1683]

Coming along. If people want to give you money that's on them. Some people have " disposable " income and simply can not do what you do and want to give to you so that they may live vicariously through you. Start a patreon.

[@germanmelendez6718]

That's the most beautiful parts car I ever seen. Put the glass in. Put it all in primer or painted. But whatever you do to it it's still going to look good. I also have a 1964 Galaxie 500. The car looks amazing keep doing what you doing.

[@Thecraig909]

Haha yea it's one hell of a parts car that's for sure.

[@williamandrews1683]

I think he should assemble and drive as is then later paint.

[@timoy4988]

Glass, interior, some prep and clear coat. Get it commissioned and drive it. When it's time to go forward with a pretty version... get it done. That whip is sick!! Proud of you bro!! 😁👍👍

[@leoreid5649]

That is so cool. Glad to see her running Craig, great joy.

[@TheTexasMechanic]

I'd put it back together, enjoy it and get it painted later. Also i think it's a good thing you spiraled down the rabbit hole for this one because now you can take what you've learned and apply it to the red one

[@bergie67]

There's nothing quite like the feeling of a shakedown run. Personally I would put the glass in and iron out the bugs before painting it, however there's a lot of cars out there that never progressed past that stage.

[@c7d3p]

Congratulations Craig! A lot of blood and sweat you've put in it. You should be super proud.

[@twowheelingnut7898]

After all that work the must of felt good. It’s getting there good job dude. Putting it back together as is I think is a good idea. Work out the bugs. Keep it that way, flip it, or make it shiny. Either way you’ll be ahead as the car is going to nice.

[@swaller4504]

Looks great, I need to work on my cars also. Keep up the good work.

[@nunyabidness9895]

yeah! drive her as is. she's beautiful in her own way. I always look back at my ride too after parking it and you have so much more to look at than me! (well my 2019 Ultra is a rare beauty tho) she's my desktop! Love that Galaxie! And to think my Mom threw one of those away on a street in Montreal in 1969....enjoy your rides man, you're only young once.

[@coltonbirdwell9757]

This whole build series has been amazing content!

[@Enigma-Sapiens]

Looking good! I almost bought a turquoise with a black interior 64 Galaxie 500 XL years ago. I tried to haggle and someone else slipped in there and bought it.

[@jeffb3535]

That car looks so damn good at that stance riding low. Good job Craig!

[@marcuscrookshanks7902]

Looking sweet brother! Going to be a clean ride

[@ddcraun]

Excellent job so far! Can't wait to see more.

[@alexandersherrell3790]

Absolutely awesome to see the “parts” car driving down the road.

[@douglasbritcher6607]

Awesome work Craig. You've become a master at the craft.

[@Itisilogan]

Love this video man!!! Love seeing projects running. This video made me “LOL” quite a few time too 😂 love the extra editing too. Made it really fun

[@Thecraig909]

Glad to Hear it!

[@juangarcia2687]

Congrats ! Been following this build since the beginning, nice to see it run after all the work you put in it! Definitely a motivation to many !

[@Cool_Retro]

Awesome 64 Galaxie. It brings back memories when I was kid, we had a 1964 Galaxie 500 convertible with a 352, Guardsman Blue.

[@raymondblasee1048]

I'm very proud of you ,Marty and the gang to finally getting this car on its 1st test drive! Its been a long time I've been following you on your Galaxie projects. I just have a couple of questions, that engine compartment looks sharp! Is that the same 352 that came with the car??? Today the engine looks clean, brand new and is made to look like a 427 with the valve covers and air cleaner unit ?? The other thing is I know you'll make adjustments all around the car as you'll drive it more this point on, would you please jack up the rear of the car about 2" to give it a slight rake cuz it looks like a 50s taildragging custom😝 and would eliminate the driveshaft from hitting the floorboards over big bumps. Its a big car and it really looks way too low in the rear as I see you driving down the road in the video otherwise its a rad ride, I love it! Again, congrats!!!

[@nicholasfisher2595]

It's so awesome seeing you drive this car! Awesome video as always!!🤘🤘

[@calebberglund53]

Hell yeah brother, I could watch you drive that thing all day lol

[@Thecraig909]

I could drive it all day!

[@calebberglund53]

@@Thecraig909 man just slap some glass in it and make some content, been waiting too long to have it be perfect

[@joshualucas1045]

Dude....well it's about time. The progress on this car is insane. Congrats man. Totally cool

[@teddybertgarage4119]

Good job, so nice to drive around the block after working on a project car for a long time and enjoy our work. I’m putting back the engine together and interior in my C10 that is sitting in the garage for more than a year know, can’t wait to drive it 😊🇨🇦

[@user-xg7fj2bb8t]

Do like a 'Vegas Rat Rod' (Steve Darnell) paint job on this white Galaxie (fake ageing and rust with tonnes of satin clear coats) to match your F-truck (clear coat the hell out of it as well and put a spray-on bed liner to tidy it up) and paint the red Galaxie up like a show car.........

[@Adrianinhd]

Dude this video is GOLD! Can’t wait to have this moment in my 61 Impala. Do you have a video of when you painted the engine bay?

[@Thecraig909]

I don't think I do, I've probably repainted it 4x lol. It's all sanded down and has rustoleum 2x gloss black and some VHT Chassis and rollbar paint in most areas. Nothing too crazy. Prep is key.

[@arinmackay6620]

You have done an incredible job with the parts Car. As far as paint goes, you have done so much work to this thing, it deserves to be painted. Honestly I'm thinking a T-shirt for the car to help finance the paint job. You make one, I'll buy 1! Good luck with the rest of the car.

[@thatmaverickguy859]

How it going Craig love the build and can't wait to see the painted your a huge Inspiration

[@JaredR1996]

To see this car driving is absolutely amazing. So much time and effort went into this. Props to u Craig and the others who helped 👏👏👏

[@Thecraig909]

Thank you. I'm still in disbelief of how well it works.

[@robinweiger6504]

Leave the Fox body alone do not put wide fenders on there that makes those look stupid

[@Jarritos440]

Also Craig keep doing what you are doing bud didn’t grow up into fords but shortly after I found you on here enjoyed the content still do! After a few months inherited my first Ford a 73 F100 xlt ranger pulled her off the farm and getting it up and going to drive and my girls to enjoy

[@richardlovins6222]

It needs a car show just like it is after you get the interior done and the rad fixed great job by you and your supporters and friends especially your friends 10 👍

[@maxnichols1727]

I have watched the video three times. I see something new every time. Love the video, you are doing fantastic. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Thecraig909]

Thank you!

[@dominicmancuso5347]

Your f100 has been the basic building block for my 86 el camino. Ive made the same exhaust on longtubes blew it up last november just got a new motor from a 71 camaro now gotta wire everything. But yeah huge impact on my decisions man! Keep it up

[@tinsano6030]

Just dont repeat what he did with the f100s motor by throwing away 3k for supposedly rebuilding the motor & blowing it up at 6k miles.

[@johnsarian_cu]

How do you define success? Starts on the touch of a key. Runs without overheating. Stops. Doesn't veer uncontrollably. She's mint!

[@TheGaragenousZone]

You are a huge inspiration, man! As a new KZbinr, it’s really cool to have someone to look up to. 😄🤙🏻

[@ST_DCT]

Love the Galaxie, Honestly, I'd forego other projects to maximize this one, this is a true classic that deserves major love

[@rawdyrider]

well done kid.You are rightfully happy with it.Tho theres a lot of work yet to be done.Stay focused and get it finished.Good to see that Hilux there

[@steezyondablock4856]

Just beautiful endless possibilities for this car and that motor sounds badass

[@kmnremtp]

I was just thinking about how I needed another Craig vidya! But I figured it’d be another week cause ya just uploaded!!!

[@Dieselmachine4]

You got yourself a beautiful "parts car". Makes me wish i had my 64 galaxy back. I loved that 390 i built in it. Would blow the doors off of all my chevy friends. Congratulations brother, hell of a ride.

[@black63ford]

I think the headliner goes in before the front and rear glass. If you do glass first it may have to come back out for headliner to be installed. I have heard it is hard to get glass out without breaking. I suggest checking with your glass and interior people. I am very impressed with what you have done with all your projects.

[@MustangGuy6501]

Great job man so happy for you I know you're happy Been following this build since day 1 dude throw your glass in and enjoy it ratty style is very cool I know my mustang will be that way for a while

[@Thecraig909]

May as well enjoy it while it works haha.

[@MustangGuy6501]

lol very true

[@bigbow62]

Do the interior & glass and drive that wicked cool machine ✌😎 (...and this is coming from a Chevy guy 🙂) Craig, you've done an amazing job with that car, now enjoy it as you finish the interior work and glass.... Then hit the road and car shows before the next step... but never let go of that beautiful ride 😎👍

[@johnhazard5231]

Nice to see ya rolling out the old iron.

[@philhunt3908]

Great to see it driving you did a lot of great work keep it up 👍

[@97VobraOwner]

Yeah man awesome- put the glass back in, interior, prime it for now and drive it!!!

[@Jarritos440]

Man just drive the car and enjoy after glass is put in, definitely gunna use the coolant filter set up on my daily 69 Fury and heat shields definitely make a production of the battery tray! Made me rethink the build on my fury as it’s a rolling project

[@franksherryt4500]

Craig, your so close to having it ready for color, do the little bit and get it sprayed. It doesn't have to be a fancy paint job, but definitely spray it. Better yet, do what Hot Rod did years ago, roll it on multiply of times and color sand it out. Then buff it out. Keep it cheap

[@drudunn1158]

Vinyl wrap it DIY and film it. Awesome work dude.

[@A63Chevy]

Slap the glass in, tidy up your interior to your liking, dial in the suspension, fix the radiator leak and drive the hell out of that beautiful machine brother!

[@pzkpfw2310]

Always loved this body style

[@97VobraOwner]

Dude I have not even watched yet - just had to stop and comment when I saw the galaxie on the road!!! Nice 👍- ok going to watch 🥳

[@jasonpetrich4141]

Put the glass back redo the seats and drive it this summer have fun, then paint it this fall. You might end up liking it as a patina car instead. You have worked very hard

[@bobbyshell8563]

Nice job so far . Thanks for sharing

[@anthonydeskins174]

You have done an amazing job on this car, I love the stance and engine bay looks perfect! Lay a new coat of paint on that thing and finish it up and she will look sweet.

[@tabletop45]

This car is so fucking sweet just the way it is. Primer, clean up the chrome and put some nice emblems on it. Mint interior and glass and you’re all set

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Awesome!!

[@Thecraig909]

Thank you!

[@yarkie1]

You've come this far with it. Finish it off right. IMO

[@thememeking8079]

I suggest you finish the kinks and do the paint and interior. It’s going to look good

[@vixen5_oh366]

I’d put everything back together work on the interior and work the bugs out then paint it. But other than that you have one kickass galaxy

[@DJRubenGAMINGTV]

cant wait to see it getting painted inside and outside

[@isaacsinn8405]

Awesome car man congrats on gettin it movin

[@darrenrevill8664]

So so happy for ya. What a achievement

[@brianbrainard3272]

Great job! Car looks great. Where do you get the heat shield products... Looks like a distributor only??

[@brandonburchell8]

Paint it now and get it done up. Bc if you have a very nice paint job on it, it’ll give you more motivation to get everything perfected on it and give you motivation to work on it and finish it

[@Rodg470]

Slap the glass on and enjoy it for awhile you've put in a lot of time on it so enjoy it Wait did you say wide body foxbody

[@tompreciado863]

Get it painted, don’t get too attached to it. You need funds and more content. Be proud of the build and sell it for someone to enjoy it.

[@Z3CHYD]

I say just put the glass in it and drive it for awhile, get all the bugs out of it, and then go from there, maybe just a coat of primer/cheap paint to keep anything from rusting, and just enjoy it!

[@heybuddy212223]

Looks and sounds great! Run it and enjoy it before you tear it down again.

[@tompreciado863]

Good job on the build bud, I’m sure you will get buyers when you sell it. Try to take it to Mecum and get as much money as you can.

[@Bigfreeb]

Craig, What happened to the Crown Vic frame that you were building for your truck?

[@davidmccormick1058]

Get it painted! You will make it look great!

[@davidsabo7125]

Put the glass in, interior and drive it for a little bit. It's sick the way it is!

[@zacharypokorny5126]

You do great work. You don't half ass things.

[@leebuck180]

Fix the coolant leak, put the glass in and drive it with no interior other than the bench seat, the most fun LOL. I once drove a car like that for a year until I graduated high school.

[@leebuck180]

A classmate of mine drove a '53 f100 from home to school with only the windshield and headlights, lucky guy didn't get pulled over either!

[@jennifergreene1983]

Love it!!! Fantastic job!

[@jasonmyers3847]

Where'd you get that beautiful oval air cleaner and valve covers? I just picked up a good rebuildable 360 big block for my '65 Ranchero.

[@calebkretzschmar6804]

Full primer glass and rip it! Don’t need fancy paint to be pretty!

[@andrewmoreno9048]

I think you should body work it and prime it. Then either try to paint yourself or if you want to be budget friendly get a quick maaco spray

[@haroldgetchelljr3264]

Grate work guys

[@thestreets5206]

What a lovely car , I would struggle to let that go , its begging to be painted and the interior finished off

[@MarmaDuke304]

Not me low key freaking when I see the minty 1st Gen drive by after they leave Mexican 😂😂😂

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Great vid!!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍

[@robertironside3166]

LOve the Galaxies. Paint soon?

[@richardheaton6406]

Drive it dude for sure

[@robertwells6454]

Look's good. Good work.

[@ninety5tag170]

It’s not worth having a project and not be able to enjoy it .......NOW!! Throw the windows in and smash the loud pedal!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@randyrauch8210]

Put some glass and a seat in it and drive it! It's TOO COOL!!!

[@billyhensley7770]

That car looks awesome no way i could sell it paint it classic black would look beautiful

[@coleloganhd3735]

Throw glass in it do interior then once everything is worked out of it and funds aren’t a problem do the paint

[@jessegoldston70]

Yes indeed Absolutely Awesome 👌

[@PrincessTS01]

next is the interior, glass, and paint. then sell it for a shit load of money. don't forget to add sound deadener to the interior, i found that kilmat had the cheapest.

[@governmentcalamari9785]

I’m saying get it ready for paint. Paints called car jail for a reason. it takes forever! You’ll have the f100 and the new combo to keep you contempt while waiting.

[@williamsanders468]

Oh dude make the Galaxie look like maters twin would be sick.

[@alansmead4516]

Enjoy driving the car while working the bugs out!

[@jasontaylor7837]

Put it back together as is an fine tune it before painting

[@portlandon]

Awesome stance, looks nice. Now put a hood on it.

[@robertquartier9379]

put it together and drive it the way it is.

[@7HeadsCustoms]

Absolutely put the glass/ interior in it and drive it. Enjoy it for a while before sending it down the road.
