Project White Trash

Your car should be in the movies, a tough-looking little ride. Maybe we'll see it in Fast 7. I think early-A Valiants look nicer than Darts, and I have both. 63/64 Dart grills have an over-bite, 65 is nicer, but Valiant fronts are sleek. Dart tail-lights make the rears look dumpy. Valiants have nicer rears with the tailfin lights, though not as bright.

Interesting approach to rack and pinion. It takes a lot of metal to provide a supporting structure way back there. Seems like I saw other designs that come off the frame rails. Looks like the engine clears, but I bet you can't get the oil pan off. My newer cars use a cradle system to support the rack & pinion and the sway bar mounts, but that isn't light either. You probably wind up with similar weight to a Pitman arm system, but better feel in the steering.
