Very nice.
Drop some pictures of that Slanty in here if that's the one in your avatar.
Good looking Valiant! Are those the same slot mags that were on that yellow Valiant I sold you way back?

These wheels are 15X7 American Racing Wheels they make for the 63-66 A bodies, they call them Ansen, they do not scrub anywhere! I will get back on the tire size. But I still have the 14X6 slots that were on the yellow one you sold to me over 25yrs. ago. My very 1st. Valiant, been hooked since. A lot of those parts are on this car now. Chrome valve cover,Chrome master cyl. 4 speed gearbox and bell housing, probably more. I think the yellow one was a 64. A big van hit it and totaled it. Then got a 65 and used all the good stuff to put on it. Then a truck ran a light and bent the left front frame. Them picked up this 63 in 1995 that had been sitting a block over for years and pulled the parts from the 65 to put on the 63.The whole Valiant deal has been a load of fun.
I originally bought those 14x6 slots for my 65 Barracuda. At some point they started looking kinda dated to me, so put them on the Valiant which I then sold to you. Now they look good to me again. Especially the 15 inchers.
PS: the yellow one was a 65 with a 64 grille. Don't remember exactly how that happened, but I did think the 64 grille looked better than the 65. After I swapped the original 3-speed 170 for a 4-speed 225 and slapped in some ADDCO front and rear sway bars, that was one of the most fun driving cars I've ever owned.
