projects for the summer

[justin hughes]

it dont look like much but heres what i want to get done during the summer in between raising 4 kids ,working full time, and trying to sell the house. spent my tax money on this stuff plus the petty blue paint and supplies for the body.when it warms up a little i will finally be able to install my windshield. then on to changing the wiper pivot seals,carpet,steering wheel, and tach.tires have been my biggest expense on this whole project so far. thought i was pretty close to paint until i noticed i need to do some work on the rightside quarter and rocker panel (nothing major.) now if i can only get it in paint before i lose my garage when i move south.

Nice ride. Love the interior color. Sounds like you have a full plate.
I worked on mine all last summer. Got out to only the final 2 cruise-ins of the season. I've got more work planned. It's all suspension and brake upgrades. Plenty of workbench labor to do first so I wont disable the car again until fall. Happy moparing

Looks good, I like the Barracuda addition to the hood.

 

[justin hughes]

trust me , i wont be rushing it, its hard enough to find the time to do it once, wont be able to do it twice. took me all last summer just to patch the fenders and change a door. the barracuda hood additions were freebies , i thought they would be something a little different to add to a valiant. after the paint, i will concentrate on the suspension and adding some more power to the slant.

thats a clean looking ramcharger. the only thing i would change on it though is the bud light can would have to be a busch light can instead (dont get me wrong,i like the taste of bud but just cant stand the headaches it gives me.) actually your slant 6 has made me do alot of thinking about a different air intake setup for my valiant. trying to figure out how to make that work with a two barrel, and thinking i would need to move the battery to the trunk.
