Thanks for this! I figure if there aren't a few "lost cause" success stories on this forum then where the heck are they? Glad to hear you got yours up and running!

Asked and answered but thanks for your input

Wow thank you so much, this is both informative and encouraging. Should be in the 50s all week here, so I am officially out of excuses!

Thanks!!!

I hear ya! This car was my first ever, something funky to drive around when I was a teenager, but I fell in love with it so I'm dragging it back to life. Next time I'll be looking at garage-kept and dry-state-driven only for sure.

I have a good amount of free time and an uncle with a shop and a soft spot for cases like this one. As for worth it, it won't be the only sentimental rebuild on here. I like working on it and I'm happy with the car.

Not sure who you're addressing here but I *am* Emily. Thanks for the input but this is the car, I've had it for a decade and its obviously not going anywhere until it's safe to drive. Auto Rust discontinued A-Body parts three years ago but thanks anyway!

Thanks y'all, see you in the classifieds

Anybody have creative ideas on how to fix this piece? The support piece that runs side to side looks like it can be cleaned up and rustoleum'd but the perpendicular piece is absolute swiss cheese. I'm getting antsy about ordering floors but I can't do anything until this gets solved. From the...

Looking for a swap kit to put my new (old) 318 into my old (old) automatic '74 Valiant. I have the engine and the tranny, just need a way to get them in there. If anyone has an old kit from Schumacher or wherever lying around looking for a good home let me know.

Looking to swap my Slant 6 for a 318, I have the 318 sitting in my garage. I found a thread on this from 2009 but does anybody have recent info on where I can find a swap kit? All other tips and cautionary tales welcome

This is great, thanks!

Hi everybody, Forgive me if there's a floor pan/sheet metal-specific thread this should be in. I'm dragging my '74 Valiant back onto the road whether it likes it or not, and I have three problem areas that are gonna need some new metal: 1. The entire passenger side floor pan is toast. I have...

Holy mackerel that's a lot of power for something with a name like Hoppy's Popmobile! Great stuff

Just threw in a few below!

Love that top. Is it navy?

Don't worry, I didn't store it on gravel for those six years. And I've since cleaned most of the moss and grime off it. Resting after its trek to the Glen. The rest of our caravan was made up of TR6s, a Safari Yellow Corvette, and a bronze Gremlin with its own aftermarket racing stripe. We...

I appreciate the validation!

Hello all! Thanks for having me. Full story of my Plymouth below, but TL;DR I'm restoring my first car after parking it 6 years ago. I am the daughter of a certified Car Guy, and when I turned 17 my Dad bought a '74 Plymouth Valiant for us to fix up. The original owner was a 94-year-old man...
