George the body man should consider getting his own TH-cam channel. He's a natural! He did the impossible with Black Diamond and I can already tell that it is going to be a show winner.
George did a great comprehensive review of that Charger. What a big job, but the results are fantastic! George , the camera man did such a wonderful job on this one. That 390 Ford sounds like it were new. Smooth !
Glad you enjoyed it.
That is one of two 60s ford I would drive
That Galaxie XL is a great sounding alarm clock!
That it is!
Nick, you all need to do something about that trunk lid @32:05
It’s hard to explain how expensive it is to have a car body and painted this way tell you see it done. My car has been done this way, it was in way better shape metal wise but still has to go though this same process and it is EXPENSIVE! But i feel well worth it. Really good body and paint shops won’t do it unless they do it right because it has there name and reputation on the car. This guy is the real deal how he talks and the work and love going into this charger, good man!
Charger is looking awesome, I spotted a Duster in the background of the body shop. The galaxie is a pretty nice cruiser as well. Stay on the right side of that fence you walked by Nick. Thanks Nick, George. Cheers
Well spotted!
It caught my eye too LOL. The Duster might not be the most desirable Mopar but it is my first choice if I ever had the opportunity!
George and his crew really have done a fantastic job repairing that rotted out body. That thing is better than factory now!
Big thumbs up for the guys working on the Black Diamond 👍
👍
Them 390's were bulletproof.
David seems like a real good Gent!!! Car is in good hands.
He is. And a hard worker.
George sounds like he could Nick's brother! 😮 The passion to detail is totally on display!! 😱
Miles of good panels on it now.
George and his team are artists.
The original interior seats had chrome strips imbedded in the vinyl. I was a bow tie guy but loved the interior or the 63 1/2 and 64 XLs not to mention the 2-4bbl air cleaner on the 427.
I liked it when he said that there wasn't one good panel on the car. Those were the ones I drove daily to work back in the day. )
Dad bought my Mom a 1964 Galaxie 500XL, 390, automatic and black with a red interior in 1969. She would take it to the corner store and back and that was about it. The resonators would rot out because of the moisture never drying up because she never drove it far enough to evaporate it. Dad was smart enough to have gone to Midas Muffler and get there gold lifetime system. They about begged him not to bring it up there after the third set of resonators replaced. The car was also terrible to drive in the winter and saw very little winter use. Miss that car.
Sounds like a beautiful machine.
It's has been such a long time, I was beginning to wonder if that Charger would get back on the road. I'm glad to see it come to fruition. Nice work !
Honestly Nick That car is You......Just Clean but Mean!!!! Love the SHifter!!!!!
My mind is blown , can't believe George and his guys saved that piece of rusted crap great job everyone @ CGA
Theres something about that Galaxy 500. I was only six years old when this one was born , but there was still enough of these style cars around , in my teens , that I can still see it in my mind.
Dr. Nick, thanks for the update on the future Black Diamond, body shop George has done a awesome job,, and the 64 Galaxie looks and sounds sweet, and thanks for staying on this side of the fence lol, btw today is my Wedding Anniversary, cheers.
Wow! All of us at the shop wish you and the mrs a very happy anniversary.
@@NicksGarage thanks.
you guys and friends do top work
Thank you.
@@NicksGarage did you understand what I sent to you in the email
That's not Bad Chad paint job right there guys. That is a proper paint job
The XL sounds great and Swiss Cheese is looking awesome!!!!
My Dad had a 64' Fairlane, 3speed 289 as his first car! My first car was 87" 5.0 Mustang GT 5 speed!!! Thanks Dad! 😊
I had a 1964 Galaxy 500 XL convertible with a 352 two barrel dual exhaust. In 1972. Only 8 years old and completely rusted out lol
They got used up pretty fast, back in the day.
Someone must have swapped the two barrel intake because all 352's were 4 barrel and dual exhaust in 1964. 1963 had the 2 barrel with single exhaust 352, my grandparents had one of those for many years and the car still looked new when they sold it in the 80's. I've got two of these cars and I'm lucky mine are both rust free.
Hey Nick the galaxy is from Ontario car will need a safety check certificate . Awesome show
Large-Marge is in Charge, love that 64 Galaxy .
The sarge of the barge.
The crew at CGA are true craftsmen, the Black Diamond will be killer when it's done. I've always had this thing about 64 Gals & I'm not a Ford man.
Cheers😊
Amazing job George, Costa and Mike! 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 🇬🇷 🚙💨
Here here.
Love that big Galaxie. Fired right off. Sounds great with the exhaust on it. As far as George’s work on the Black Diamond…what can I say? Nick associates with people who, like himself are passionate about their work. This video shows that without a doubt.
I would love to see the charger getting painted. Watching a really good painter shoot a car is really something special. Truthfully I enjoy watching every single aspect of a car restoration. Watching extremely talented professionals do their individual parts of the project is really entertaining and enjoyable.
Good evening!!! Hearing that Galaxy running open manifolds brings back childhood memories of a neighbor who had one a year older, and ran it the same way!!! That charger seems to have been a project and a half, but looking fantastic: I marvel at guys who can take a rusted hulk of a car and get it to this point so it can be finished. Amazing, just simply AMAZING!!!! Great week to you guys!!!!
Very cool! You can't help but grow up to love these cars, with a neighbour like that.😃
Yes indeed!!!!@@NicksGarage
Thanks for giving us the first view of the video. Great work on the Charger considering what you started with.... don't want to know what the bill would be on this build..... but it will be SWEET!!!!! Keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing George's car on the road cause spring is in the air..... Thanks Nick
Thanks for the support!
Hi Nick and crew ! Great job with installing the 390 and boy does she purrr.. It was great to see the BLACK DIAMOND 💎💎💎 AKA SWISS CHEESE CHARGER ... Have a safe and awesome week everyone and keep smiling 😁😁.. I will be watching FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE with always the SPECIAL GUEST NICK the Mopar DOCTOR.. Your friend THE BANDIT!!!
So glad to see the Black-Diamond Charger. George had his work cut out for him. It was a rough car. Thanks Nick!
We are sorry for the wait.. but we think it was worth it!
Did the original engine have cast iron headers or stock exhaust manifolds ?
@@edge2sword186 .....Exhaust Manifolds.
Body a lone took hours and hours to get it right. Awesome job to everyone involved.
Nick, the 64 Galaxie, it`s the space race era, look how the tailights resemble a jet fighter rear, I love the roof lines, how crisp the lines are, almost like a rag top, in hard top, it looks great black. The Charger, I love the sharp crisp lines, the Coke bottles sides, and the crisp bodyline all the way down, it`s gonna be great, well done.
The Charger! Crazy... I was just thinking about that car yesterday wondering whatever happened to it. Cool to finally see it back Nick. George is doing a great job!
Glad you liked it!!
The resto work at CG Autosport is awesome. That Charger is going to be a beautiful ride when done.
That was cool seeing the 1972 Duster 340 in the background. For a Ford it's a nice rare car.
George is a master body man,I never thought I would see this car black ,however I belive he's changed my mind.
The charger is coming out great, George and his team has done a fantastic job on that. And that Galaxy 500 is sweet. Nice job Nick
I am in love with the Galaxie. The 390 sounds really good.
The body man sounds just like Nick. Brothers from a different mother!
These guys doing the body work and paint are very detailed oriented. That car is beautiful
We agree!
Nick, this is Al from Montana. As far as I can remember, there were 3 flavors of the 390 MEL Fords with a 4 barrel carb from the factory. The most numerous was the 300 hp. There was also a 330 and a 375. You can check with Mr. Ford (Manny) but I think I am correct. Which is in the Black 2 door? It would seem if someone was taking the time to order a factory 4 speed it would have a hotter 390 and a street performance gear.
I’ve been doing frame repair paint and body combination for over 30 years. Most shops would even take that job on just because of it is so time-consuming, drilling spot weld, pulling panels, cutting them apart welding them up doing the metal work on them and then re-welding them and bring them right back up People don’t understand the amount of time time and materials. That’s a very expensive job here in the states like I said I’ve done it for 32 years. I’m still doing it in between being treated for terminal cancer. It’s the only thing that keeps me going is like he said looking at it when you start looking at it when it’s ready to go into the booth for paint there’s just not a feeling like it in the worldto know that you brought that vehicle back beautiful work guys
Wow George and his crew have done an excellent job on the Swiss Cheese Charger.
Love that Galaxie , Francis has a cool car.
George an his team did an amazing job on the black diamond just amazing work they have done
I can’t believe the progress on the charger. That front corner looks amazing. I know it’s taken a long time, but it looks to be well worth the wait. I’m excited to see that car with some colour on it!
CGA for the win!! That car is fantastic can't wait to see it painted
Right on!
Dana "60" Glass. Love these big Fords from the early 60's. Black Diamond looking great. These guys are metal miracle workers. Stephan will be overjoyed when she's done. Can't wait to see you guys put the R/T puzzle back together.
Black on black 64 Galaxie with a white headliner. How cool is that! I am totally in love with fender skirts on that black paint. Beautiful car! I have been wondering about the Black Diamond and here it is! A ton of work but you know they don’t build them anymore so the value is priceless.very nice!
Most of the headliners were white on these cars regardless of the color. I've seen some black and a couple color keyed but those were not all that common to see.
wow that makes the paint shine with it that quiet.
Thanks for the update on Stephan's Charger. It's beautiful.
It really is!
so glad to see updates on the 70charger RT black diamond
I can't wait to see the black diamond done already looks great
Beautiful car, I will never forget my 4 speed 68
Torino!
Mopar guy here, but let me tell you, FE Fords are the cats ass. I had a 73 F250 with a 390 that I cobbled together with little money. A 410 Mercury block w/ 390 crank and rods, .030" over. A used Crane Fireball cam (specs, unknown) '68 390 heads, Mallory dual-point distributor ($25 at a swap-meet in AZ), a TINY little Edelbrock 600 cfm leftover from my 318 Barracuda (RIP) and a really nice set of headers (brand unknown, but thick flanges) that were in the truck when I bought it, without engine. I scrounged most of the parts but it ran like dream and had loads of power. It sounded great! If it had a properly sized carb it probably would have ran even better. Love those engines.
Thanks for this great upload, Nick!
Every week Nick's Garage progresses and a 64 Galaxie with a 390 sure impresses Nick is taking her to an exhaust specialist he knows cuz Nick takes no guesses The open manifolds make a sonnerous boom Once the pipes are put on he'll be able to more sedately zoom The engine is so smooth and with a sealed exhaust performance can only improve It's been a while since we've seen Stephane's car Looking at it now it's come a long way and you can see how far George has been cutting out the rot replacing and aligning panels and now it's tip top He's ready to give the polyeurathane filler a shot Waow it looks great you can see George and his teams experience in the result make no mistake With the rhyme I'm sorry cuz this week I was late There's been a bereavement but I ain't gonna cast a shadow over Nick's Garage achievement The dream cars keep coming fast At Nick's Garage they build em to last You can trust them because they are capable of any automotive task Thanks Nick George and George At Nick's Garage on muscle cars you can gorge
That is one damn fine body shop. I'm very impressed.
Nice to see the Galaxie 500 XL reunited with it’s original numbers matching engine. If you look at the cars VIN, the engine code for the 390 4 barrel is Z. You will see it on that cars VIN
Great, Thanks.
George & his team have done a great job on the Charger thus far and it can only get better Nick. The Galaxie sure is a beaut ride and sounds just as good Nick, what's more you looked the part driving it round the block. Take care Nick & all thus have a beaut week ahead.
Nick and company are the best!
Thank you.
Glad to see the Charger is getting some paint, it’s incredible how far it’s come!
CGA is doing a great job on the old Swiss cheese . The skirts on that Galaxy are great. Thx Nick
😮 I am in absolute awe of the Charger!
I been waiting sooo long for an update on Stefans car.. Yes ... Thank you. Hello from Colorado.
WOW 3 people did all that body work WOW awesome job.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That galaxy is a beauty, eh? Almost enough to make me switch. But then I looked at the charger next to it and it's all over. Perfect car and you don't see those much
😂damn ive been wrenching since i was 15 , 37 now. Can't imagine my body after 30 years lol. Some things allready hurt now after 20 years of wrenching on cars and bikes. Good luck Nick, that FE block is something right 👍
I like the sound of the 390
Like the rumble of the old FE Iin the 64 Galaxie. Kind of my old school favorite engine.
YEEEEEAAAHHHHHHH BLACK DIAMOND APPEARS !!!!!!!!! WORKING THAT OL BLACK MAGIC !!!!!!!!
Really super cool to see the Black Diamond appear from Bodyland !!!! George excellent work and alot of very hardwork to get it to that stage!!!!! Very much enjoy hearing you explain what all you and others have done to get Black Diamond to this stage....Big Wave and Smile to yall...
Yeah Nick, now that the original 390 is back in the car, I would delete the fender skirts and the after market wheels and get the factory steelies back on it with dog dish hub caps. Perfect!!
It is awesome to see the 70 charger taking shape. Wow, I knew there was alot of damage, but I had no idea how much work the AMD panels take to get the correct. Awesome job so far!
Thats fine George ! Good work. Its going to be special 😮 ! Fortunate for Stephane ! Lucky man
Hey Nick.
Good stuff. 😃
From Blythe CA.
Hey, thanks!
GOOD WORK AS ALWAYS FROM THE CREW AT CGA AUTO SPORT LAVAL. GEORGE, COSTA AND MIKE HAVE PAINTED MY W30, GTO'S AND A SLEW OF FRIENDS CARS I HAVE SENT THEM OVER THE YEARS, GLAD TO SEE NICK IS WORKING WITH THEM. EVERYONE WILL BE SATISFIED.
Black diamond is looking sweet I can't wait
It was nice to see the Black Diamond! You all do good work and should be proud! Thank you for another awesome video! Happy first day of Spring!
George: we did pretty good.
George, you and your team have done amazing work on the Charger.

"At least we're on the right side of the fence" 😂 Made me laugh
Another fine quality video at Nick's Garage. 😊😊😊
Thanks for watching.❤️
Comment 1,000. Been watching for years now and seeing the channel grow. So happy to see the Charger body update.
What a beautiful line and classic there was also a low série 1964Sohc XL with a 427 cube ,4 speed big carb close to 500 hp.
My very first car was a 63.5 galaxy500xl,352 4bbl. auto black with red bucket & console interior. pretty fast,hauled down the freeway
Awesome show beautiful black on black impressed with how the black diamond is coming along keep them coming and see you Friday
Love that Galaxie!
Can’t wait to see that Charger completed!
l had a 1966 Ford Galaxie 2 door with a 390 HO and it was fast...... l am not a ford fan but it was a very nice Car......Thanks Nick and George & George....
Old Shoe🇺🇸
Amazing! Pure Perfection!! George is a True Artist. Well done Team.
So professional all the time great work
What we know , and what needs to be thought about is just how
exceptional this charger is at this point . George and his crew have really done a remarkable transformation . We should remember what this car was when Stephan brought it to Nick .
While we all have been waiting to see this here today in the video , one must remember that it would take years ...for most of us to even get a halfway built car givin the terrible condition car used to be in . I mean look at stephans charger so far ...Wow just an exceptional job so far .
Final thought is that these cars were done with jigs on the assembly line and here it has been done by craftsman hands.
Scottinsoca
FYI,, seat belts were optional,, my 1964 XL had them..
Those 64 round tail lights kill me.
Lots of great content Nick....the Black Diamond is looking very nice...thanks
That build is coming along nice👌. Reminds me of Eugenes' total build from awhile back💯...I can hardly wait till this one is finished, following this build✌. Thanks for the video Nick🙂
Yes Nick the same fender badges for 390's were factory installed if the Galaxie came equipped with that engine.
Thanks for the info.
amazing work done on black diamond , not many old school body men left that can do a job like that . Can't wait to se the car when it is done
