Always loved galaxies since i first saw John Raeburn driving sir Gwainne Bailey's 63 holman and moody car at the Australian touring car championship at sandown in 1965.The race was won Norm Beechey in his Mustang.
The plan after the cobra is to acquire a 63 or 64 gal two door fastback XL 500 and put a 426 SOHC engine in.
I purchased Paul Monroe cammer kit some time ago and have been slowly buying the other parts needed.It has been put on hold until Kirkham is finished.

I spoke to David Kirkham about 10 days ago and the body and chassis had just arrived from Poland.As soon as some photos are available will try and post on here.

Regards All.

Good to hear you have a Monroe kit as well - very cool! For those who haven't seen the story about this small time Aussie manufacturer: Paul Munro's 427 SOHC Cammer V8 in Unique Cars Magazine
Do you know how many kits he's made now?


Oh, you might want to increase your engine size in the old Gal by one cubic inch - don't want the Mopar Hemi guys getting excited If you want to buy one complete with an NOS H&M cammer: 1963 Ford Galaxie 427 Cammer for sale | Hemmings Motor News
