Finally decided on what to do!

Wow! Pettybludart, it does seem like we have the same ideas! I checked out your spring relocation thread, there is ALOT of useful info on there. I gotta get my Dart back together, then wait for warm weather and I can start on the Valiant! Right now, I don't have a garage, so I'll spend all winter dreaming and planning lol. I can't believe the difference in looks the bigger wheels/tires made on your car. Depending on how my money situation is by then, I may go with the same type of rear suspension as you, but I am curious about the caltracs as well. I'll probably go with some aftermarket steel wheels in the back, paint em' black with the factory hubcaps. I kind of want to dress the 408 up like a 273 commando! For now, I'll fix the rust, get the suspension in order, and leave the slant in it so I can still drive it. It may be a while before I can do the engine/trans.
