354 HEMI '65 Valiant
Hey there A-body guys,
My name is Brian, me and my Dad Gordy, have been working on my Pro-street '65 Valiant for the last 4 yrs. We back-halved the little A-body utilizing a 9" F***, sub-frame connecters, six-point roll bar, disc-brake set-up off a '74 Dart up front, 70's style Cragar Super Tricks at all four corners wrapped with 31.5 x 18.5 Mickey Thompsons out back, and last of all an early HEMI out of a 1956 New Yorker. It was originally a SL6 car when we started all the work we did ourselves, most recently completing the engine install this last winter/spring while maintaining the stock front end suspension and inner fenders. Though the car is still in primer and unfinished I have logged about 800 miles since getting road worthy. Here are a couple links to some recent photos of the car this summer at the Chicagoland Mopar car show in Belvidere, IL, this was our first time out with the car. At this we had not had the time to fit the hood yet, but hey check it out and let us know what you think. Thanks Brian & Gordy
