WTB front sheet metal for 1961 Ford Galaxie

I am in need of front fenders, inner fenders, core support, hood, grill, etc for a 1961 Ford Galaxie, hopefully somewhere in the southeast. Thanks for any info.

I'm currently looking at a '61 Mercury, is the car pictured yours or one you are hoping to duplicate? I'm only asking because at some point I may convert to 351 power and would be interested in your experiences.

The car pictured is sort of a "club whore". No less than five people in our circle of friends have owned this car, and we all pool our resources to race it once a year at the Billetproof vintage drags. It has a 351 Cleveland and FMX from an early 70s Torino.

I also have an identical car to this that I'd like to bui;d with a 460, but it's in need of front sheet metal.

Integra- if you are in need of motor mounts and what not, these are the go-to guys for the early 60s big FOMOCo chassis--

That car needs a 406 or 427 :-)

Cool stuff.

No where near the southeast but.......

....and more than you'll want to pay for a parts car, me thinks.

Even with that damaged rear door, I almost wish I lived a lot closer to Detroit as that's a nice looking car, too. The Mercury I'm looking at is that beigey/pinky color in and out.

Thanks for the link, but too much $$ and too far away.

You certainly have a point! But, it's all about the low bucks. I bought it from a friend, running with the 351c for $500, did some minimal sorting, and brought it to the first Billetproof drags that came to Florida, where we all took turns making passes in it. It must've made 50 passes that day.

here it is when I owned it-

Then I sold it to my buddy Jon, who painted it and made a few more inprovements. It's still dirt cheap and we have a blast with it.

darn, now I want one.

There is a '62 Galaxie at the South Atlanta PAP. I could stop by today if the sheetmetal parts would work on a '61???? T
