This multiple-award-winning 1967 Ford Galaxie 500 was
professionally built into a modern-day Resto-Mod with attention to
detail throughout. The original Ford was taken down to bare metal
before TM Customs started all the modifications. The car sits low
with a modern Gen 2 5.0-liter Coyote engine mated to a 6R80 6-speed
automatic transmission. The frame is modified with a Fat Man IFS up
front with RideTech ShockWave air ride and a custom 4-link
suspension with slam bags out back. A sleeker engine cover was
fabricated to gain another half-inch of clearance. The transmission
tunnel was modified to accept the girth of the new transmission and
provide clearance for the driveshaft for the lowered body. A 9-inch
Currie rear end is supported by the 4-link suspension, which is
raised up into the chassis, forcing a raised trunk floor and a
custom fuel tank. The ideal ride height is finalized with 18x8 and
20x9 Budnik wheels wrapped in Michelin tires. Stopping is handled
with big Wilwood brakes, and the car is also equipped with power
steering. Crazy Kenny's in Phoenix, AZ, worked to accentuate the
factory Ford body lines for a sharper appearance. All the gaps were
tightened considerably. Kindig-It door handles were flush-mounted,
the emblems were shaved and the bumpers were modified to tuck in
tight to the body. Equal attention was paid under the hood, where
an amazing aluminum radiator and surround, inner fenders and a
custom firewall were all hand-fabricated. Once the build was deemed
suitable, the PPG Soul Red color was applied. The Auburn leather
interior by Armando's Custom Upholstery is highlighted with one-off
chrome. Inside the modified 1960 Impala dash are Dakota Digital
gauges and Ron Francis wiring. An Ididit tilt steering column is
topped with a Budnik steering wheel and surrounded by Nu-Relic
power windows, a high-output audio system and a Vintage Air system.
It took about six years for this Galaxie to come to life as a
modern custom muscle machine. The Galaxie has won five Goodguys Top
10 Builder's Choice awards, along with the NSRA Top 5 and NSRA
Editor's Pick awards. This car was featured in the Goodguys
Goodtimes Gazette in May 2022, StreetScene Magazine in December
2021 and on "Bitchin' Rides" Season 8 Episode 3. All build
documentation is included.
