This will be the last ground up car for me.

Best of luck with your project. :)

I had my car for 7 years, I lost every penny I spent on the car,
except for 90% of the original cost.

I had Lots of people tell me Nice Car,
wow, that is rare a V8 2Dr HT Valiant,
A Valiant in the NY State area that is not rotted out!!!

ALL The money I spent on rebuilding a 318, to replace the bad 273,
the 4bbl, intake, cam, #302 heads, valve springs, brass frost plugs,etc,
the electronic ignition, small newer starter,
Dual Exhaust,
14inch rims and tires,
carpet,
sound deadner,
headliner,
windshield,
Alt. Voltage regulator, battery,
and more,

All gone, see ya. About $5000 pissed away,
because I wanted an Early Abody V8 car for years.

I would have been better off keeping my 1967 Camaro,
that had a non-stock 1969 427 engine in it.

You want a return for your money, buy a 1970-1974 Ebody;
and the way the economy looks that is not a sure bet either. :(
