68' Valiant 4 door
Earlier this year i bought this Valiant out of Nevada from Darter6, a very nice gentleman who found himself with too many great cars and, lucky for me, decided to thin his herd. Funny thing is, based on the paperwork i got with the car, the original owner was about 15 miles from where i live. Darter6's original thread. He did a lot of work on this before i got it, but nothing to the body. He liked the patina, and so did i.
But thinking about it, i'm going to drive this thing, and it's going to be out in the weather, and the surface rust that looks pretty cool was going to gnaw away at it...so off for paint and body it went.
i pulled the bumpers, side markers and few other things i figured i didn't need for the drive to the body shop.
From the factory the rockers were painted Argent and it had a cool (dealer installed?) pinstripe down the side. Decided they both needed to go back on
