Not much new to report, but did get the radio back from Wards, and installed the NOS dash panel i found. Wards does pretty nice work for not much money, i would for sure recommend him.

I could try to get some measurements on the passenger side but that fender took a hit in the front and i would have to do dig out my other set of emblems since that one is missing.
Perfect, thank you! i can get some more trim installed now!:blob:

Nice car, post away. ive found out that these cars are not as common as the darts dusters etc... and finding parts is a bit of a challenge. You/we/us need to seek out the Valiant cars on here and share information and spare/extra parts. :burnout:

Your welcome. I just sent my 67 parts car to the crusher. Interesting turn signal mod pauly.

thanks. I couldn't find a decent 67/68 filler panel so I used one from a Duster, and since they have their signals in the grill I needed to be inventive.
You didn't by chance save any trim from the parts car did you? I need one of the rear body side moldings. If i can't find one I'll have to pay big $$ to have mine restored.

rofl. this reminds me back when i had my first dart. big 4door ugly gold thing.
it came with a 4speed on the floor & 318 that smoked like hell... looked like a crop duster goin down the road. until i put the 340 in.... :snakeman:
it was a little loud with the headers, so once in a while some punk in a mustang or camaro pull up next to me and want to race...
the last thing they saw were the '68 tail lights haha

My first car was a 1969 4 dr dart. My cousin bought an olds with a 350 and dual four barrel edelbrocks. We took it for a drive and i was that's nice, want a ride in the dart? Took him down the street and back and he was Damn that's fast what's it got a big block? Popped the hood to show him the 273 with a bbd on top.

In line for state mandated vehicle inspection. There's still alot of detaily stuff to take care of, but I'll be rolling this weekend. I'm happy!
Oh yeah, it passed inspection and then the state picked my pocket for three years back taxes. My wife is not amused!

Pauly, I'm jealous, wish mine was ready for inspection. Hopefully by the end of the month my daughters will have all of her stuff out of my sons garage and he can get back to work on our 69 Valiant. BTW, I like the white. Our original color is white and we may leave it that way. Anyway good lookin ride Pauly.
Not much lately. Ive been busy with other things now that its getting warm out. Ive done some small upgrades, but really waiting for parts to get back. Ill try and get some new pics up this weekend.
Not much to report, but did get the front markers, Valiant emblems and trunk panel installed. also installed the radio antenna.
Got the bucket seats from legendary, and the dash bezel from auto instruments this week. The seats have been covered in 68 Barracuda style, and i had legendary custom make a matching cover for the valiant rear seat frame. ill get the carpet installed and should be able to finish up the interior.
