'67 Valiant: Rebirth

Got the trunk lid open. F'in vandals...It bugs me to see that bashed-up, rust-free decklid. :(

I also have a '73+ v8 k-member.



From this pic it looks like I have the earlier lower control arms and swaybar/k-member setup, but I've got the '73+ disc brakes, from some digging I've done earlier. I guess someone swapped UCAs and lower ball joints to accomplish this. Does this look right?[/QUOTE]

Didn't see a pic of the rear, but don't give up on your rust-free deck lid. New metal can be welded in to save it. I remember seeing after market patch panels to fix that area for more popular cars. (read GM here) Your original K was cut for oil pan clearance so your car may have a drag racing history, or the start of one but never accomplished. The gap in the firewall was definitely cut, not torn. That too can easily be welded up and ground so it disappears.

Yeah, you have 73-76 front discs w/ matching UCA. LCA and sway bar are still 67-72. A 73-76 sway bar goes THROUGH the K and the bushings bolt to channels held on by screws and nuts. Also, the motor mounts will now be spool type, not 67-72 biscuit type.

Otherwise, keep at it.
