66 Valiant Vert RUSTORATION

I think you're saying the 4-door is a 65. I don't know what additional problems that will cause. I think Darts were the same from the doors back between 65 and 66 except for the tail lights. I don't know if the same is true for Valiants.

Did you get a title with the 4-door?

I did my entire floor pan with just one of the Harbor Freight spot weld cutters. They're only $5.

and they have a 90 day moneyback guarantee :P

yes i have the 4 door title, but i would definitely like to keep the vert vin.... from everything i have read, the 66 valiant (the last year it was produced before the major redesign and they stopped making a vert) changed the look of all the sheet metal but share the hood, quarters, doors and frame as the 65.... that being said, i knew that the coupe and convertible rockers would be stronger..... if i were to graft the top i would definitely have to strengthen that area underneath (someone stated before to reinforce with a tube chassis).... but i like you say, i just have to keep stripping her and we'll find out once she's bare boned like the donor :)
