Morale Problem

Hey guys,

I've got a problem. actually it's more of a morale problem. I've been pulling stuff out of my old 74 Valiant Brougham and everyone I tell about it says the same thing.
"why the hell would you want to do that to a piece of S**t car like that?"
or
"The Valiant was a P.O.S."

it didn't bug me at first, but honestly it's been getting me down after a month of hearing the same thing. I really do want to work on this car, and make it shine better than new. But i've been doing my research and nobody has parts for the damn thing. And i'm wondering if it's really worth it to restore my Valiant. and to add insult to injury, I live across the street from an auto salvage yard that has all kinds of old goodies (Dusters, Monte Carlos, Turenos, Checkers...the list goes on.) I think it's cool but is it really worth it to spend upwards of $10K on this baby?

I'm sorry I don't mean to be a downer, I guess what i'm really after are some success stories from other valiant projects. maybe with some pictues.

thanks guys. I appreciate it.
