More on trucks

Once again I have nothing to say about the Galaxie, in fact I am a tad pissed as I failed to buy an authentic aerial today. Well I could have bought it but I dropped out when it reached an outrageous $46. I shall just buy the cheapest that I can find in Autozone and that will look fine and should cost about $2.50. Bastards. Still on the positive side I did get a new set of locks and keys and a very nice authentic door mirror so that is OK.

Saturday was a nice day and I should of worked on the Galaxie, there is still much to do before I prime it. Still the urge to make money from the trucks was too strong and I sold my soul for the Yankee dollar. The 53 is just about ready for the auction block. Would you like to see some pictures? Of course you would.


This was after spending hours and hours and hours sandblasting and sanding. Now with a coat of primer she is looking good.

I was going to get her ebay this week but we may have a buyer and if I can get $1500 and a front end for this, I will be well pleased

This is the 55 and what makes her special is that she had a 1998 F150 engine, suspension and brakes. It is hard to imagine but by the time I am done I am looking to clear $3000. Finally here is a shot of the other two which are both 67s and of very little interest to me.

However I have a tentative offer of $1000 for the black one. My secret plan is to clean up the green one and drop in a spare 390 that I have. In English they are called Q cars. They look like plain Janes but when the local boys challenge you they eat your emissions, so to speak. Anyway this is our little secret as Gene wants to turn that into cash as well.

Watch this space.
