*FOR SALE* Well, sad to announce that time and funds necessitate the sale of this car. My 3 kids and 3 jobs are keeping me out of the garage these days, I can't even find time to clean up out there. I'm out of space and need to get rid of a project before I get past the point of no return...

Been a while since I have checked in here. Life has been getting in the way of playing cars lately so I have not had time to even think about this thing. Last night I started the Valiant for the first time in a few months and it runs so well! I do not know if I will go ahead with the 24V...

Subscribed! I am really curious to see how this comes along. I love that you went with a non-standard swap and you are making the car the way you want it. It is great to see fabrication work being done instead of catalog shopping. Do you have any details/pics on the K-member mods and rack...

Just heard back from someone!!! Looks like I'll be forming and pushing my own concrete after all. This guy wants $1645. Bleh. Now to find concrete delivery instead....

In this area, there is a company advertising $3.50 sq. ft. all over their trucks. I used to see them working in Dallas all the time, but haven't stumbled across one lately. I have called them and sent in an email request for quoteand have yet to hear back from them. I guess I will have to...

Yikes! Had a separated rotator cuff a couple of years ago. Surgery worked out great but the recovery was about 5.5 months. Hope you are not left handed, it's not easy to learn to do things with your non-dominant hand. I'm surprised they gave you an injection (I am assuming it was...

Thank you! I was hoping for a good id on this thing. I suspected it had been changed but since I'm new to mopar, I'm not familiar with interchanges. I appreciate the reply!

I have been looking around to find seat covers for my 68, but I have not found this seat style anywhere. I can find split bench all day long but nothing with the fold down armrest. I have a quote from a friend that said he can recover these for $750 including materials, which I think is ok, but...

I need a lot of concrete work done around my house. I need a patio and a driveway addition for a future parking spot for an RV. That and my primary driveway is cracking really bad, too. I have called several concrete companies around the area and have gotten response from only one...

It makes life easier. At one point, 90% of the things in my garage were on casters which made a cleanout really easy. Now, I am starting to use the $10 Northern Tools furniture dollys to accomplish the same thing for my misc parts, engines, transmissions, etc... At one point, I had 4 $10...

My HF 12 ton has been serving me well for over 10 years now. I put 360° casters on mine to make it easy to roll out to open space when I need it, otherwise it sits against the wall out of the way.

I have always used Craftsman tools and have generally been very happy with them. I keep several ratchets around and use multiple ratchets when I am working on a project so I don't have to constantly change sockets all of the time. If one Craftsman ratchet breaks (and the new ones will), I have...

Mrs. Forker??

Haha, yep. I think that is why I like it so much! It's boxy, like a car should be!

Floor pan is here! This will be a first for me! Guess I'll be ripping into this thing in the next few days and making a Flinstone car out of it. Dropping off the seats to my upholstery guy on Monday so they will be out for a few weeks. That should give me time to fix the floor and install...

Well, even though I am not going to start the engine swap for a while, I have to make progress any way I can. I ordered a replacement floor pan for the passenger front last week and it should be here late this coming week. In the meantime, I picked up Vintage Air universal Gen II unit this...

We always convert our 240's and 740's to run the later style Volvo 940/960 e fan. They are cheap and easy to find. They come with a 2 speed relay. I always wire mine up to run any time the key is in position II. In summer, I run it on speed 2 and on speed 1 in winter. I started an install on...

Thanks for the positive comments! I will keep the updates going as they unfold. I need to take pics of it now since I have the dash, seats and windshield out of it. I appreciate the support in what could seem to be a blasphemous build to some purists!

Are my pics not showing up in the first post? I have 4 there, but since I am a newb to this forum, I may have done it wrong.... Okay, sorry about that, I fixed the pics!!

Well I realized after posting this that I am indeed a noob here and you all are likely already conviced I am a nutjob for wanting to spend time and money on this project. Well, you are halfway right, I am not a "Me too" car enthusiast, therefore I refuse to be the guy pulling up at a light next...

Not long ago, I purchased a pretty nice '68 Plymouth Valiant Signet. I recieved it with a smooth running 225 c.i. Slant 6 with a 904 trans. The combo is great for a dd but I can't seem to leave anything alone. And yes, this is a gold Plymouth with a blue interior. The PO was a huge Rams fan so...

To the OP: Don't give up on what you want to do to your car. Sometimes we have to think outside the box (the 'box' being the catalogs most guys use to build their cars). I have the same idea to swap over my steering box to a rack and pinion in my Valiant. I am planning an engine swap soon...
