a little advice

uhohhotdog151 · 05-13-2007, 10:00 PM

hey everyone, im new to this board, and also new to the galaxies. i recently bought a 65 galaxie 500. its pretty clean, no rust, a few small dents. all the trim and interior is mostly intact and complete. but it has no motor or trans. but i also got a 76 lincoln continental in the same deal. the lincoln has 460, c6, disc 9 in rear, discs in the front, and air suspension in the rear. i need a little advice on wether i should drop everything from the lincoln into the galaxie? or if it would be worth my time to track down a 390 and do a factory restoration? let me know what you guys think. thanks in advance.

ya, it should be pretty sweet, if i can do it right. this is my first attempt at a restore/ classic car build. im probably just goin to sell it when its done. so i can have some money for other builds. you guys have any tips/ideas/ things to look out for, for a newbie builder? thanks again guys
