'65 Valiant Convertible: Mostly ignored for over 20 years
Blue Valiant guy has a buddy that wants a classic car to cruise and have fun with.
I am busy with my '70 Charger project....
The convertible sits and sits.....
"Pepper" likes the car so we made a deal. I'll do the body and paint BUT he is going to take it and get it running first. I like this better. Of all the cars that I have done here, it is so much easier to have a car that can move on it's own rather than to have to push it myself.
The drivetrain will be different. We're going with a stock 318, a later slip yoke 904, a '66 Valiant steering column with mechanical shift linkage, FMJ based 11" front disc brakes and an 8 1/4" axle with 2.71 gears. The axle came from my '70 Charger. I relocated the spring pads to the A body width last week.
Work begins tomorrow. Stick around...
