    A roll cage will be a nice addition ' and I suppose the new seat belts will be attached to it ? Lap belts really aren't a great idea 'and there aren't many options' although I've seen lap and sash kits for Mustangs that mount on the top forward area of the rear quarter panel.

    Nicks car for me. My reasons are the NA big block, great stance and wheel choice. It’s cool while totally retaining it’s ‘60’s vibe. But mostly because while very attractive, it’s a car you can drive and beat on without being worried about breaking some one off, irreplaceable part.

    The white 63.5 is my pick mostly because I have a 63.5 Galaxie 500 which I have owned since 1986 and I love it more every time I look at it. I like that he has kept it stock looking because IMO Ford got it right in 1963 and it needs no improvement.

    agree... 64 headlights bulge out...rear end of both is beautiful... 63.5 Front end just looks nicer... horsepower wars are outta control... full cage...maybe if you race it...or drive crazy... harness or 3 pt shoulder/lap is a good idea... Sean, I think you're really into the safety aspect since your last encounter with a dashboard... that car shouldn't have been on the road with the brake and throttle issues.

    Shawn, love your vids. I am much older then you. I put seat belts in all my cars. Even my wood push carts. But 1964 USA made all cars to have front only seat belts. 1963 they had to have holes in the floor boards to install seat (lap) belts. So all my child hood we never had seat belts(lap belts). My first car with factory installed lap belts was a 1972 Corvette 454, 4 sp. T-tops, plus AM/FM (not stereo) n A/C. Then....

    I like that the 64 has a SOHC FE. However the 63 is my favorite because of its grassroots type build for the common guy. But I can understand the worry about harnesses and other safety features in a 1000+HP car, especially after a traumatic event.

    As a '64 galaxie owner, I have to say, on paper, the bones fab car is the perfect galaxie, the sohc using the old school high beam delete induction is fantastic. But I'd rather have the '63 in this case. The stock xl interior (bucket seats/center console) is great in these cars, and all the changes to the interior on the bones fab car ruin it for me. The welds and the stance of the 63 are perfect, and I wouldn't be afraid to drive it all the time unlike the million dollar machine.

    Not a this or that reply, but all $$ aside- I'd choose the '64 SOHC Galaxie MINUS THE TURBOS with a real FE setup. Everything else is outstanding! Turbos muffle that great SOHC FE sound, and I wouldn't miss the extra 400 hp. Those FE's are good for around 600 hp NA in race trim, and that's plenty for me. 500 + on the street is good, too...
