Totalled the Valiant... :(
I had set my Valiant coupe was set up to be my daily driver, with big disc brakes, upgraded suspension, blah blah blah...
Going to work on Tuesday morning in the fast lane people panic stopped in front of me. No problem slowing down for them, but the Valiant kind of slid to the right, not out of control, just kind skidded.
Then I got clipped by a big rig, which is ultimately what destroyed the frame and front end and spun me out. It was a hard impact!
Here is a link to more pictures on my website:
Wreck of my 1967 Plymouth Valiant
Take a peek, I was surprised how bad the damage was after I got the hood peeled off. Cracked bellhousing, mangled engine mount, shattered alternator. Crazy!
I'm okay physically, I feel incredibly lucky to not have been hurt, but I'm super bummed about the car. :(
