1963 and 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 WIPs; 63 Finished - Outdoor Pics

Here's where I started working on reviving an old 63 build and adding a 64 build.

I took the 63 apart with only minor issues and the 63 frame fits perfectly on the 64 body. I would like to have and engine in both. So here's the plan:

1. Cut out the hood carefully on the 64. Since it has 4 posts (2 for mounting the interior and 2 for the frame) and mounts for the grill/bumper assembly. It is also very thin without underside detail so I am going to discard it.
2. Remove the paint from the disassembled 63 and sand out the center dart in the hood to use it on the 64 since it it the same size. Add tabs to the underside of the front fenders on the 64 for hood supports.
3. Cut out the radiator support and radiator on the disassembled 63 to use in the 64. It will locate on the frame from the new 63 kit.
4. Paint the bodies and interiors from both the new 63 and 64 kits.
5. Paint the frame, engine and assemble the engine from the new 63 kit to use in the 64.
6. Use the already painted and assembled frame and engine for the new 63 body and interior.

In this manner, I can build two complete models with engines (I think) with better paint and fresh foil, hopefully!

The stance will be corrected by gluing the wheel stems to the frame in the back and getting rid of the metal axle.

I did a lot of detail in the engine department years ago; the engine has plug wires, gas line, alternator lines, battery cables and even a dip stick! And look at that firewall - I must have been a wild man back then!

Here's the underside of the hood on the 64:
