Ken's 66 Valiant has Subframe Connectors!

[DTMRacing]

Some of you may know of Ken's car, and his recent search for subframe connectors. Since he has a car we needed for R&D, we were able to get him set up pretty good. While we were at it we even replaced the whole fuel system and rebuilt the car getting it running for the first time in 22 years!
We did a photo shoot here at the shop for Mopar Collectors Guide, to hopefully shed some more light on this REALLY cool car.

I think the car is going to come out great Ken. Keeping this car as original as the day she got it in 66 (with some minor safety upgrades) is the right way to go. I can't wait to see you and your daughter hotrodding around in this one!

It has a 273 Commando, A833, and a 8.75 Sure Grip with 4.10 gears. Everything delete. Dealer installed heater out of a 63 Dart in October of 66 at the request of the current owners Mother.

We do R&D / Fitment / and maintain the Hotchkis Road Runner full time as well as the E-Max challenger from time to time. These were prototype pieces, and once The head engineer at Hotchkis HQ approves the design, they will go full production.
