1964 Valiant "Get Runnin & Drivin"

-
Got my 9" housing back today with Mopar 8 3/4 ends and the perches welded on. The cats seem to approve. I can afford primer and paint to paint it back up, and then my car budget for the month is SPENT! LOL

why mopar ends? will you need a custom axle now?
Was gonna need custom axles anyway. I was gonna have one HELL of a time finding brakes, axles and drums to work with the small bolt pattern, which I am retaining. Now it will be easy peasy.
 
Cool Beans, the cats approve! Nothing like the Kitty Seal Of Approval (and that would be meow kitty not Sweetie-Pie Kitty) to give parts a solid thumbs up! Or rather paws up. Or claws up. I'm overthinking this... :rolleyes:
 
So you put it on the kitchen table ?

You know you're a Redneck when you......Oh nevermind. :lol:
 
Well...I think I've FINALLY decided on a color IF it gets painted. It's a Mazda color. They paint the MX5 Miata a really DEEP red. It's beautiful.

That Mazda red is a GREAT color. I don't have anything that I'd use it on, but...
 
Your tan cat sure looks like my buddy "Buff" that we lost in 2020.

That's Billy. He's a real hoot. He's so smart. He goes into the kitchen and pushes the arm down on the can opener and all the other cats come runnin. lol
 
You know you are a redneck, when you mow the front lawn and find a Camaro.

It happens. A Hornet. There was a guy that had one in Macon when I was a kid. It was an SC car. 360 and a 4 speed. It wasn't slow, but man was it ugly.

Yes they mad about 700-800 in 71 I believe. Yea they run pretty decent.
Ugly? Hey we are peeps that also own a 62 Lancer, and just sold a 62 Dart!! LOL
I have a bud with a pasture full of old stuff. Hide away. He has an early A body Dart to go see. I sold my Duster project 3-4 year ago and I have not seen a decent Duster project within 500 mi go for the last 4 years!!!:lol::poke::steering::BangHead:
