I really like those '60 Starliner chassis! This one fits right under this '67 Galaxie. Actually, it's a '69 body with the pillars and hood modified by my friend Rick Tackman. He is also going to hand letter it for me. It's a model of my late model from 1973. In case anyone would want to know, the '69 kit comes with a '67 grille and a couple of other '67 parts. I didn't know until Rick told me when I last saw him in Tennessee.

This is the another one I wanted to put in before. Looks cooler with the engine and driveshaft in!

Yeah, those 60 Ford frames are excellent bases for just about any big Ford race car.  Yours is definitely off to a great start, Rett.  Seems like there weren't many big Ford stock cars on the dirt after 1964 and I'm looking forward to seeing yours!!!

..Used to be that I absolutely detested the Cow belly frames( something from the 1:1 world I suppose).....but since doing a couple of builds using that frame they have come to grow on me.....as I found out doing some research for a build that I did, there is a lot more that can be done with these frames/chassis than what they are given credit for.
  Looks to be a great build subject.
