New guy,,New galaxie to me...

Hey guys .today I bought my very first galaxie,a 1967 500 fastback.
It's a rock solid great driver quality. However that being said it needs a few things to tidy up. Weather striping and a new dash pad. I've found new pads but  it skipped the 67 model year..Could anyone point me into the right direction.
Thanks very much
Scott

Welcome to the forum.  Have you thought about just recovering the pad you have??

Honestly,no I haven't.  I wasn't aware that was even possible.Am I to assume that's something I need to go to a interior shop and have done??

Re: New guy,,New galaxie to me...

They are great cars..I fell in love with one when I was a kid..it was a 65 fastback galaxie. I've never forgotten that car..I was bitten by the mustang bug very young and except for my 67 Oldsmobile C/S (which was my older brothers car,and who doesn't look up to older brothers) mustang were all I ever wanted.

But I saw this beautiful white galaxie fastback..and ohhhh the sweet sweeping body lines...and fellas,I know you know that feeling...she called to me....it wasn't like eehh cool car..no..it was like Scott..I am beautiful let's dance.....sigh...
