1968 Valiant Help

Some of those bars aren't even required. For a street/strip car, I'd take out the knee breaker, rocker bars, main hoop X-brace (redo the harness bar/seat brace), and redo the door bars so they're where they're supposed to be.

That's a big project for $10k. You should be able to find something much further along for that in my opinion. It's got a lot of good parts though, so who knows.
I know you said "in my opinion" but "Much further along" for $10,000. No way !
If someone had to pay for the labor just to tub the car it's over a couple thousand dollars, the wheels and tires are probably close to 8k, the 68 valiant itself in my area are scarce at best and never cheap.
