Thanks for the info. This guy lives 20 minutes from me! Nice to find a local vendor. I couldn't find any info on the company.

I like the set up of this thread where we can all chime in on these early A's for those of us that discovered these cars later in our hobby years. I bought a 64 that was supposed to be " All Done ". Three years later I'm still working on it. They are a blast...an absolute blast. Like when I...

Great thread. Really enjoyed it. What ever happened to that 64-65 Valiant you stuffed a 440 into?

Just amazing. Once it is built back to original spec what are your intentions for the car?

Good stuff. You write a lot of detail which is really nice in threads like this. This one was for sale the other month. Kinda cool for ideas....

This is going to be very cool to watch. Have you already purchased and built the 426?

Yes. Good advice too. I had already purchased the product but in a search into sound deadening threads I saw some of the guys are also doing this. I seem to remember the one thing to watch with the roofing material is choosing the correct thickness but the savings are certainly there.

This is the second car I have done and I used a Canadian company and product called B-Quiet Ultimate. It is the same product as Dynamat but costs much less. Also, they are in Canada so shipping was cheaper and no customs issue. Here is the website. Really great product a number of members use...

Next I had a small leak coming from the valve covers. I think it was due to rubber insert over the manifold not being cut properly. I originally bought some cork gaskets but after research on FABO it seemed a popular choice was the grey rubber steel from Mopar Performance. So I decided to...

Did a few other odd jobs as I was waiting for some more parts to ship. When I purchased the car it had a triangle of death air cleaner. When I removed it I found this!! ...hmmmm......does that look like detonation to anyone else? Crap!! I replaced it with an Edelbrock...

Next came the carpet. I was going to buy a new one as I felt the old one was too far gone as it had dried cement all over it from some product that was used on the shifter area. A FABO member recommended I try a good carpet dye and a power washer first. Glad I listened. It turned out great...

So to continue on the interior. Had to take everything out and had a hell of a time trying to remove the back seats. If I was a betting man I would say that they put in the back seats and then installed the roll cage after the seats were in place. Took a long time to get the bottom section...

This is a really interesting build. New stuff I haven't seen before. Great.

That was me that wrote the post about the air filter and cutting a bigger hole. I purchased the car on FABO but the seller just joined to place the ad. He was helping a friend to sell it. I bought it in West Virginia. I have never heard about the issue of passing an inspection with...

Thank you for the kind words. Yes. It does have a metal firewall behind the backseat and the fuel tank is vented to the outside. It also has a battery disconnect. All set if I ever decide to go back to the track.

Next up I painted the trunk floor with POR 15. Never worked with this before but it is great stuff. Almost like an enamel. Looking much better. Prep POR15 Guy at the store gave me a great tip on working with POR 15. He said never open the lid just put two screws to pour so air...

Lots of money was spent by the previous owner on the chassis and motor but they lost interest in the car and now I am getting it ready for street use. One area of neglect was the trunk area of the car. So I did a little refresh this weekend. Here is what it looked like when I started...

I am curious as I have a 64 and thinking about front brakes and suspension. Have you decided what you are doing upfront yet?

Very cool. What engine is in the boxes?

This is one of my favourite 69 Vals in I guess a silver/ grey

Nice work Ian! Really love this thread. Might have to visit you next time on the way up to visiting the folks in Port Morien.

Cool thread. 64 valiant owner here. Looking forward to seeing that BB in your Valiant. I have a mean 360 in mine but have fenderwell headers. Keep up the great work.

Great thread. Where are you building the car? In quite a few pictures it looks like you are in a facility.

Just upload it to YouTube and paste a link. Love this thread! Great work.

Great. Can wait to see the 354 installed. Do you have more pictures of the car so we can see all the " before " shots?

I thought you might like looking at this thread. 65Valiant put a 1956 354 Hemi in his 65 Valiant. Did a really nice job. http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=183262&highlight=Hemi

Sweet. I will be watching this thread as I work on my 64 Valiant. Welcome to site. Nice to have another local on the board. I am curious which headers are you using and will they fit past the drivers side? I have a 360 in mine with fenderwell headers. John

One of my favorite cars on this site. Perfect aesthetics!

Just beautiful! Really nice work.

F-me. That was a turn in the thread. I am really glad you are ok and your brother will recover. Like others I was really looking forward to this build. How did the accident happen?
