Man that's a really impressive spray paint job. I'm going to get mine painted the traditional way, but what I've decided to do is spray the engine bay and all the other stuff with color matched paint of the color the car's going to be. Yours looks great, hope mine turns out like that!

Nice ride! Are you spraying that primer on out of a rattle can or are you using a compressor? I'm getting ready to do body work on mine and trying to decide how I want to do it.

Thank you, i'll try it out!

I've got a 66, it's great to see somebody going so far on a car that's often overlooked or under appreciated. Keep up the good work, you'll really have something special when you finally get it done!

Really nice ride! Can I ask you some questions about the one Shot? I've never heard of it, looked it up and it's pinstripe paint, correct? Did you just brush that on the whole engine bay? I'd love to paint under my hood and also the firewall/skirts but I don't want to spray it. Did you...

Just my personal opinion (your opinion is just as valid), it's a 6 banger. It's never going to sound really mean without spending a lot of money, and then it'll be false advertising :) Also I'd say that a 70 Dart isn't a muscle car. A car of that vintage is so old, that if you want to...

Hi folks! I have a 225 I'm getting back how it should be, and one of the things I'm doing is taking that DAMN chrome valve cover off that I put on it back when I didn't know any better. So I bought an old valve cover and cleaned it up, painted it, and installed it. Much better because it...

Matt, I had one that I beat the crap out of, it took me an HOUR to get the filter off (I think when it's hot it's harder to remove). The next day, my hands were hurting and I couldn't remember why, then I remembered how long I'd tried twisting that damn thing. Thank you everybody for the...

Hi folks! I've got an old '66 Valiant with a slant six in it, I love this thing I've had it forever. About a year ago, I blew the head gasket on it; it was ultimately because I had a leak in the radiator and overheated the engine, blew the gasket. The motor was rebuilt probably 50/60,000...

Hi Folks! I have these seats out of a '66 2 door Dart that i"ve been holding onto forever, I was going to put them in my Valiant but decided against it, I'm keeping the bench seats! They're in pretty decent shape considering their age, I'd rate them an 8 out of 10. They still have the original...

Folks, the heater in my old Valiant hasn't worked in a few years. Specifically, if you hook up the heater relay, the fuse blows. The relay is on top of the heater box. If you run a jumper wire under the hood to the heater fan, it turns on and works fine. I've used an ohmeter on the relay...

Definately! I mean, where do you put all the oil and brake fluid, dust and anti-freeze that gets all over everything ????

Hi folks! I've got a '66 valiant more-door, that I'm putting new carpet in, and those old, destroyed kick panels i've been driving around with for years have got to go. Any ideas or good pictures of what you other guys have done? On these early A-bodies, the kicks are just flat pieces of...

Man the interior is nice on that thing.
