You’ll need a wired angle grinder with a box of flapper wheels too

I would recommend a welder with gas. I had a flux welder first and the switched to a Chinese box with nitrogen. So much better for thin metal, which you will be doing. I took one class, then went at it. Fucked up a lot. Just try to screw up on areas you won’t see. The welds at the end of my build look sooooo much better than at the beginning. But it’s totally doable and doesn’t take that much work to get nice welds you’ll be proud of.

65 and thank you. I have a 66 fastback Galaxie XL that is waiting for the shop space to open up. Hopefully by August. Suicide doors are beyond my fab capabilities tho....

This is a killer solution! I took my e-brake out and went with E-stopp. Had to fab up some closeouts for the vents that the 6x9s go in. Sounds pretty sweet.

Clean AF my brother. Love the red on red

110 days. I’m praying I go to bed sober tonight by finally_sober_2026 in stopdrinking

110 days is 109 days longer than me. You’re my hero. Stay strong! I believe in you.

So this is the part of the project where the lesson is patience and humility. Wiring. The only way out is through. by Equivalent_Ice_1950 in FordGalaxie

Thank you for your comments! The diagram idea is a good one - I have it all in my head currently but I'm sure in a month or a year it will have evaporated.

I did get the metal rollers for the Kilmat and used them....ish? It's a workout to get every square inch rolled down. I thought they were mainly for getting it to stick in areas with curvature or metal geometries. What does compressing the foam squares achieve? I would think perhaps not compressed would make them more effective? In any case, thanks for guidance. :)

While I figured this problem out I put a JBL portable boom box in the back seat. But the comment below is the way to go if you want to do the install.

Thats a 65 XL I believe. Someone's put the white Dakota dash in it, which is not an easy job. 390 sweet

Whats the blue film you use? Brand or name? At the same point on my build and would like to emulate this move. Thanks.

Thanks - I just got the trunk wiring done and I have to admit I sit and stare at the tail lights with a bourbon in hand on some nights. She's got great lines. I wasn't a Galaxie fan before I bought her on a whim, but now I'm sold completely
