I know the '70s weren't exactly the pinnacle of build quality, but a 5/16" drop from the trunk floor to passenger side extension!? (It's much closer at the ends of the panel at least) I guess enough seam sealer will hide anything! When it's time to reassemble the pieces, I'd like to make it...

The things you find when disassembling a 40-year old car… I'm considering modern shoulder belts for all four corners anyway, but still – Who thought this was a good idea?!

Got the back glass out today! Not the worst I've seen, but still pretty much toast. I also pulled the trunk lid, both seats, all belts and carpet.

Fixing the '72 (converting it to a '73) would be easier, but that car has no title, license or insurance. Even if I did get a new title for it, it would be a salvage car ad I don't really want to go there.

I went looking for a new trunk lid on craigslist and scored a whole car! Now I have a '72 Valiant 4-door that I'm using for parts, even though it's actually in better shape than my project. #-o In addition to the trunk and rear quarters, I needed all of the stainless window trim, plus it also...

It's been a while, progress has been slow (not that I'm in a rush!) I've done a few things: Adjusted the valves: wow what a difference! I doubt that had ever been done on this engine! Replaced the intake gasket to cure a cold weather misfire at startup: It helped, but it didn't completely...

I finally got around to taking a few more photos, even if they are still in the garage… Like I said - straight body! There are some dents on both rear quarters at or near the taillights and a dent on the driver's front fender that appears to have been caused by a person running in...

I ran the fender tag through a couple of decoders and came up with the following: VL41: Plymouth Valiant,Duster, Low, 4 Door Sedan C3R: 225 105HP(net) 1-1BBL 6 CYL, 1973, Windsor, ONT, CAN 329025: Sequence number E24: 225 cid 1 barrel 6 Cylinder 145hp D34: Light Duty Automatic...

Thanks Rice Nuker, I'm planning on going with a multi-port setup on a custom intake and most likely headers. A more aggressive cam wouldn't be out of the question either.

Hello everybody, I've done it now! I just brought home a '73 Plymouth Valiant! 4-door, slant 6, auto, drums all around. There's rust in the usual spots (rear fenders are pretty bad), there's a couple ugly spots on the drivers side and a previous battery had it's way with the inner...

What a transformation! That blue is gorgeous! Really reminds me of the Viper Blue. Auto body is something I've never attempted before, but I'm looking to give it a go, if I can get the right A-body. All excuses to buy more tools! It's easy to lose track of how long this project has actually...
