67 valiant redo
So I've had this car since about 1999-2000, it was one of the first cars I ever owned. It started as a /6 3-speed manual car that my father and I got out South Carolina(if I remember correctly). We rebuilt it the first year and put together a 451 low deck stroker - 833 4-speed combo for it. The car was decently quick for the time(as a street car) it ran mid-low 12's at about 116 mph.
You will have to forgive the front seat choice(I was 20 when these happened)... and yes they were the cheapest available then.
Over time, as I got newer nicer driving cars, I kind of lost interest in driving the old one. I couldn't bring myself to sell it, so it sat for the last 8 years or so. I would maybe drive it once or twice a year. However, I did manage to sell the motor and trans this Spring and so begins the re-imagining :)
I've been redoing the interior:
Still need to paint the gauge cluster black
Got these seats from a Chevy Sonic RS
Test fitting seats
Re-did the trunk with spatter paint, it looks OK. I am not in love with how the spatter paint works.
