The car on my profile picture is my first car, a 1969 Plymouth valiant bought it myself with all my hard earned 1,000 dollars almost 3 years ago when i was 10 years old (, it sounded like it was a good car to me, although i was only ten years old and i was just happy to have a car. When it got trailered to my house i was ecstatic, but we new it had problems, when me and my dad were looking at the car. The front passenger side frame rail was bent. And needed floor boards, wiring harness along with other things. When me and my dad were restoring the dash cluster and it didn’t turn out that well, he felt bad that i got ripped off for the car. My dad bought me a 1968 Plymouth valiant that had a slant six, it ran and drove. It is currently a 3 on the tree. We pulled the motor out at my grandfathers who is rebuilding it for me, and we trailered the car back to my house to put new floor boards in it. This is me and my car,

We're happy if your're happy... Welcome to FABO Speed Junkie.
 
Kind of car you got and what's in it and what's your plans with it?
I’m actually working on my 68 Plymouth valiant and pulled the tranny and the motor out of it I would say a week ago, it was a slant 6, 3 on the tree tranny. I’m putting another slant 6 in it but it will be better than the last, the car was smoking out of the exhaust and when you knock on the muffler it didn’t feel hollow, I just took the seats out of it today. I’m also putting floor boards in it later when they arrive. I’m almost 13 too gotta get started young, lol, how about you?

The one in the pic I named speed junkie, that was my old car, it was a 69 valiant it’s now my brothers car, we dropped a 360 in it it’s still not running right yet, there is something wrong with the carburetor, and it leaks transmission fluid. Plans are to make it a rat rod
