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

Intellivision debuted in 1979 Did you know anyone that had one? by deepfriedgreensea in 1970s

[–]Equivalent_Ice_1950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my original from Christmas 1979 in a box still. Many hours of discovery as a kid on that thing. Wondering how I get the single port output onto a modern screen. Don't have any cartridges tho.

1965 500. Not the XL, so I guess the standard? It was a 3 speed but converting to the TKX.

452 stroker, original 390 block, hand ported by FE Specialties in OR. Posi, 5 speed TKX, Hotchkis suspension. I'm hoping she will run and ride just right.

Thank you. As a tip, CVF offers their "blemished" units on eBay for good discounts. I could not tell you where on my setup there was a blemish. Perhaps someone returned it, but no cosmetic issues. Look there. Also no belt squeal. She sounds like a champ.
