This car was made from an original 1962 annual kit picked up at a swap meet. It was cheap because the chrome had been sanded off. I figured that was perfect for this car, as by late 1962 Ford was doing everything they could think of (including removing the "stock" chrome) to get a little more speed from the "boxy" Galaxie."
"Bill McDonald of Inside Motorsports.net here. I thoroughly enjoyed the
pictures on your website. I, too, have been a modeler since my youth,
...with the requisite time out for girls and college. I prefer the "dark
side" as your contributers call it. My Dad used to own the old modified
stockers in the fifties and early sixties, with his drivers racing against
the likes of Ray Hendrick and Ted Hairfield. I grew up on the early NASCAR
of Richard Petty, Fred Lorenzon and Fireball Roberts. I have been a racing
reporter for the past 14 years doing NASCAR radio programming both local
and syndicated."
