Hello Mopar "A" body dude's, my first name is Randy and live in Fairland, Ind. My wife passed away this year due to dementia, I am 72 years old,
(survived the 60's twice) and I needed to do something to keep my mind off of that and something to do, I have always enjoyed messing and working on older cars so I bought a older drag car that had been in storage for the last 12 years, its a 1966 Plymouth Valiant (see attached picture) the engine, transmission and all the interior is missing. The body is very solid, no rust through at all. Then I bought an old 1956 Chrysler industrial 331 hemi that came out of industrial pump, the engine only had 366 hours on it, I stripped it down. upgraded the cam to a more aggressive cam and bought a lot of parts from Hothemiheads and put the engine back together. I know its kind of late in life to be doing this but I'm going for it. I am just going to drive the car on the street (no drag racing) just a weekend cruiser and have something to turn heads.

Thanks,
Have happy holidays with your families.
Randy
