Good lookin' stuff!  Makes me want another Galaxie  :D  the Mustang parts are also interesting and no doubt have some Fairlane application too.

That is really cool.  Hardly anybody makes performance Galaxie parts; I'll bet when Leno showcased the parts on his show they got all kinds of inquiries, and that led to the production items.  Its good to see a company make some parts for something other than Camaros and Fox body Mustangs.

Jay has a 66 7 litre, One of his shows featured it, & he had his buddy hotchkis build him custom suspension parts for it. i'ld guess since they had the patterns, they thought they might  as well sell them. seems jay's dad had one when jay was growing up, hence his love for one. there's a pic of it right on hotchkis' display add. got to be a you tube video of it somewhere.

Fine looking automobiles, those 66 Galaxies. Excellent and very informative video -- he goes driving at min 29.  Would be interesting to know what the total investment is in a project like this.
