Hello FABO community. New A-body owner here. Not new to Mopar, though! My '00 Dakota R/T is a bunch of fun :mrgreen:
Anyhow, recently picked up a '68 Valiant. What better way am I going to spend $800, right? It's a 4-door Signet with the 225 slant six. Original black California plates! From what I can tell, this here Valiant's been a San Diego County car all of it's life. Needless to say, the sun has administered a serious beating. Now I haven't pulled up everything and started poking on sheet metal, but it appears to be only minor surface rust (famous last words, right?). That being said, the front right fender has some damage. And it appears it was already previously replaced once - must've come from a blue donor car. Then somehow they managed to get that fender hit again. Maybe their only good eye was their left one #-o
I've only had her less than a week and work has already kept me pretty busy, but I'm looking forward to having some fun with it. Maybe one of these days I'll get a spare hour or two and I can put some work in on it! On to the pictures...
