Well just as I was finishing the blog below Gene arrived. I told him my story and he offered to make it alright. So he wandered off into the 92 degree heat and got all the parts that I needed and arranged for me to pick them up the same day. So now I have brakes and shocks and paraphernalia and something to fix on Thursday night.
I laid out all the brightwork and trim tonight and my goodness there is a lot of it. There must be at least 50 pieces of aluminum and chrome whose sole purpose is to make the Galaxie look pretty. There was no superglue in those days so each piece is held on with myriad of screws. I guess you could not afford the labor these days to build such a thing.
By the way I have suddenly realized that I paid (far) more for this project than the original owner did back in 1963.
Money spent; $204
