First, I want to introduce myself..My name is Brian and I just retired from the Marine Corps! Actually I spent a little over 12 years and was Med. Sep. Retired due to wounds recieved in combat.  Here's why I say this: My father and I have built a couple cars together, one being a resto-mod Gto, anf a 32 ford street rod. When I was in the hospital my father told me I wasn't allowed to die because we had a fishing trip planned and he wanted to finally build his 1966 Galaxie 500 fastback, he got while on leave from Vietnam. So, I make a decent recovery, to come home to that he had cancer and didn't want to tell me. Well, we got as far as planning the trip, pulling the galaxie out of storage and getting it to my house before he passed. This hit me pretty hard, but also gave me the resolve to MAKE THIS Galaxie one BAD -oh no I used a word I shouldn't have- (excuse the lang.) Anyway my father hated trailer queens and wanted to see something different at a car show or cruise in, he used to sigh at the camaros and chevelles and all the "regular" cars as he called them, so he wanted to build this Galaxie, and even for Galaxies he said wasn't the most popular year, but he liked the 66'   SO here I am, I have done full disc break conversion, .030 over 390 and a Flaming River Custom Fab Tilt steering column, thats about as far as I got once I started sanding what I thought were bubbles in the paint, turns out the rear pass. quarter from the dog leg to the wheel well has more holes in it than OJ Simpson's defense! So....I found this forum, and want to talk with guys and gals like you, and be apart of my build because this is very important to me!! I like talking with people that are passionate, and not arrogant jerks just bc I dont know everything they might. So I need help! I cannot find Panels for this car, the ones you can find are crappy 19 guage non-stamped panles and not worth the effort. Donor cars are like mermaids in a desert, in my area at least. I almost thought about going old school and chopping up an old hood and forming my own. I just need parts, and help. I will post in the wanted section, but I wanted to say hello and any help is more than welcome, hopefully soon you will see my father's 66 prowling the streets and cruise ins! Thank you
