This car went to a Chassis/race shop in Easton Pa. They were making headers. They cut the down tubes out to make the headers and welded them back in.

They never put the car on a fixture and the Right rear wheel 31 inch slick went flat. They welded the down tubes back in and other tubes in the interior. When the owner pick the car up they pumped the rear tire up and the right front came off the ground.

They sent the car down to Maryland to get a new partial cage installed at another race shop. The car came back with a worst twist then it left with. The first two pics are of the front rails setting on the frame supports on the fixture at or shop.

They also installed a tubular K member. Now when you install the laser through the main tunnel and trans with the front plate, mid plate, and trans mount installed The oil pan won't fit. The block is setting on the rack & pinion without the pan installed.

The car was so twisted the grill would not even fit.

Wow, that's f**ked up! Should have brought it to you guys to start with.
 
They weren't race shops, just goons claiming so because they've managed to pull off a few installs.

People say there's more race/performance shops in the middle of the country & back East in general...but I think there's a lot more fake shops than there are real shops that know what they're doing. Every good'ol boy with a tool set thinks he's a mechanic/builder...I hear horror stories all the time and blows me away.

Damn that really sucks. At first I thought you named a race car Twisted Valiant. Knowledge is disappearing in the world faster than it is being passed on.

They are our B1 heads for our big block build for one of the Demons. We have them sitting on a plastic mock up block to place the engine. This Valiant is also a BI engine but is complete and not usable for mock up.
 
That looks pretty rough. I'm sure it'll be right when yall get done.
