Not a lot of Galaxie parts floating around in Australia.
Your best bet is to check out Aussie and US eBay.
What you require might come up for sale.
I bought some brand new NOS front fenders for mine for $73 each a couple years back.
You need to be lucky!

Welcome Mate, and nice ride. Keen to see some piccy's. Had a '68, until it was stolen from Summernats a billion years ago!

Parts for these are hard to find anywhere, but seek and ye shall find! What you after?

Mike

Welcome aboard! Post some pictures up here and also have a look further down the main page list as there is an American Ford dedicated area that you will find some similarly afflicted individuals!
Hope you find the site useful- I certainly have... there are some very helpful folk on here with a lot of knowledge and passion for old rusty cars!

G'day Neddly, Hope you are enjoying your '66. We recently purchased a '66 ourselves.

Try Mustangs Unlimited in the US. We've gotten a few parts for the Gal from them.
They even 6/71 & 8/71 blower manifolds for the 390!

google dennis carpenter or macs auto parts (they will send you a catalogue) they are u/s companys they have heaps of repro parts . we have done a few 60`s fords. the amount of of stuff you can get is unreal. and with the aussie dollar so high its cheaper and quicker ( via fedex or ups ) and about 2 thirds cheaper . you get your order within 10 days delivered to your door
