65 Valiant grill on a 65 Barracuda - poll
On the Petty 65 car , they used the Valiant grill for weight , much lighter . On my 66 car I will use 66 Valiant pieces . Not so much for the weight but the cast pieces are whole lot heavier than the stamped aluminum ones . It's hard to find a good set of the cast ones , most
have a lot of pits in them due to being pot metal . Did find a NOS set on E-bay , had them for $1200.00 dollars , to rich for my blood . I rounded up 4 sets of Valiant grills for less than $100.00 and picked out the best 2 for my car and used the others for cars around town . Notice ft. bumper has been shortened 2 inches on the ends and will be moved back 2 inches toward the grill
