1966 Plymouth Valiant (Project Ex)
I have owned this car for close to 10 years now but I am finally going to start going on it.
I enjoy driving it as-is so it hasnt big a big priority to do anything to it.
I refer to it as Project Ex as a play on the Project X of Hot Rod and because it is about the only thing my ex didnt take in the divorce. LOL
Here are some pics as it is now. This weekend I am stripping the rest of the interior to coat the floorpans. I put new pans in 2 years ago and never got around to coating them.
It is a 1966 Plymouth Valiant with a 273, automatic, heater and radio delete car.
Plans for the car are a complete resto with a color change to copper. (I have gone back and forth between copper and blue but I think copper is it.)
It will also have the 66 Barracuda stripes on the hood and trunk when finished. The Plymouth lettering on the hood and decklid will be gone and the holes filled.
I am also going to add a radio, heat and a/c, and front disc brakes. I will be keeping the bench seat and changing the interior to black.
And I will be adding 1966 Barracuda grilles in place of the Valiant grilles.
I will update pics as I do work on the car. It will be a slow process as time and money allow.
