74 Valiant

[black betty]

This is my project I call Road Killer. It is a 74 Valiant slant 6 auto that I picked up for $300. I am building it with leftover parts from my Dart project and stuff I have collected on the cheap. The plan is a mix of sleeper meets Mad Max. It will be my daily driver after I get it more reliable.

Looks just like my 73 Val! Medium Blue interior right? Mine won't be getting the high dollar treatment any time soon but I still love it! Can't wait to see yours when it's done. Maybe I'll be inspired. Good Luck!
