Hi fellow Mopar fans,

I'm new here...I live downunder in Australia my name is Graham and my wife and I have a 65 Barracuda that we purchased last year off Ebay. It has had a bare metal respray a full intierrior retrim. We still have a few lttle things to get it fully finished. But at the moment we are enjoying driving it and going to plenty of events. Here's a pic. We also have a few other Valiants that are Australian Valiants but all Valiants down here are A bodies. I also have a 1939 Dodge that I'm rodding.

Sorry don't know who your talking about with the yellow 68. And yes I have joined a few forums this were most of us Aussie Chrysler guy's & girls hang out http://www.hemi6pack.com/forum/index.php? I have also joined the EVBC forum and you'll find me in there chatroom most weeks. And yes we do drive right hand drive down here but we can registar LHD cars that are 30 or more years old. The hardest part about driving LHD here is when you need to overtake and you can't see around the vehicle infront.

I have had this project for about 5 or 6 years but it keeps getting pushed aside for others. I haven't gotton as far with it as I would like but I'm hoping to get it on the road this year. It's running a 360 /7272 combo I hve put a late model Valiant diff in it. I have tilted the front as you can see and I have done a chassis graph to get late model front end with all the steering and disc brakes. Here's a few pic's.
