66 Valiant Convertible

My wife and I purchased our Conv. Valiant 8 years ago. I immediately had my students rebuilt the engine, had a new top installed, had the seats recovered, put new carpet into it and a new exhaust on it. We drove it off and on for a couple of years and put it on non op planning to do a restoration. Due to a job loss in the family, we put the restoration on hold.

A few months ago the representative from Universal Technical Institute offered me a deal of a lifetime. He said that their body and paint department would repair what little cancer it has, remove the poorly painted sections of paint, and repaint it any color of our choice. All I have to do is strip the trim, seals, lights, electrical, drive train and interior. They are going to do the rest.

Last week, my buddies son came over and we stripped the car completely of trim and weather stripping and pulled the front windshield. Today we pulled the engine and transmission, front wiring harness, removed the seats and carpet, and began pulling the dash and interior wiring harness.

I have been taking many many pictures of EVERYTHING. I learned with my Chevelle to document everything as much as possible. I havent been surprised with any unknown cancer yet and so far I am happy with our purchase that long ago.

I am currently searching for a pair of bumpers, the "PLYMOUTH" rear deck lid trim that goes all the way across the lid, as well as a drivers door armest.

I will try to get some pictures of the process up soon.
