Recently picked up a 64 valiant 2 dr post and just looking for ideas. Trunk pictures fuel cell and battery setup. Engine picks and other mods. How fast...

Do you have a Canada build car or USA build?

does your Valiant have the Dart rear end or the Dart nose?

What engine?

64 Canadian Valiant 2dr post made in Windsor Ontario. 225 slant six and pushbutton auto. Solid for an old Canadian car, painted once, new floors frame solid and all the chrome and trim all there and in excellent shape. What do you guys think, race it or restore it not too many around any more at least up here. Cars been in storge last 10 or so years. Finally starting project with my dad.

Not mine, but a few interesting links came to mind when I saw you asking for pictures and thought they could make some great inspiration.

Another not quite the same year or body style, but an interesting sort of racer, is the Team Starfish Barracuda:

They (NHRA Techs) let you run plywood to seal off the trunk?

 

[billyjay]

the "Birch" plywood is the door panels only..not the divider between the trunk and the front area.. and it is no more flamable than the regular door panels on other cars..

One of the best early A racers I have seen, great job!

Sorry, kinda hard to tell in the Pic. That has to be the finest early Dart I've seen in quite some time. Very nicely done.
