Good to hear. Good to show it being driven hard!!!

Another excellent piece of work! Had me glued to the track and leaning in my chair!Well done and tasteful as always 👍Can't wait to see the next episode!

Raw yet sophisticated. Built like a tank, form, function and the manual shift is the cherry on top... You build not for the sake of building... But because you can't stand the way things are.

There are a few videos out there, though not with the awesome Nicole. Search for Ruffian40!

A super cool car and a even cooler owner, what a great video, this channel keeps getting better and better! And Nicole killing it driving as per usual :)

What a masterpiece of metal work!! Chris' work is absolutely superb. Yeah, powered by GM is a little disappointing, but understand having a budget. Love Chris' take on the Dodge/Plymouth pistol grip shifter!! That is cool in any car. Amazing job on the autocross course Nicole! You are a natural at racing. Keep up the awesome work, love this show.

Thanks! By the time I built the GT40, I had more budget to work with so it has a 5.2 Coyote in it. And the Galaxie is getting a proper big block FE so I'm paying my dues now. lol

Oh man Nicole I love your passion for cars. I was changing tranny's and engines back in the 60's and 70's with my dad. I was 7 years old I think when dad said just get under there and do it. He called me "lightning" back then... I was a quick learner. You have a wonderful gift of pursuing these classic cars of legend and I absolutely love that. Thank you for just making it real. You got this figured out. Thank you sweetheart

Ok sir

First time I've seen Nicole nervous while driving instead of the owner of the car, that goes to show how badass this build is. Another incredible video, Nicole and all the team, your work is amazing. I love It! Can't wait for the next one. Greetings from Spain!

@@chrisashton7133 Cool, I'm a fan myself of the Galaxie 500 and after watching your videos about the chassis I imagine it's gonna be one of the best Galaxie builds ever.

Delighted by the mechanicals and craftsmanship. Congratulations to Chris and many thanks to Nicole for the video.

I had a 70 bud Moore home built version with the Meyer Fiber glass flares. 351c 4v top loader, nascar short track cam, Lincoln drilled 4 pistons and 67 4 piston rear conversions, 3.89 t lock, heim jointed sway bars, etc. Boss 302 track cage. It was fun to autocross in 86. Had to convert it for street use with lights and wipers. Painted aircraft green polyurethane. Like Mad Max Falcon. They called me Mad and the car Max Bitd. Memories.
