I still have quite a bit of work left to do to get my Valiant where I want it but I’m so happy that I’ve made it this far!

Nice 65.
If you roll over a quarter can you tell if its heads or tails? :lol:
Honestly looks like we need more pictures.
 
It turned out damn nice. Chris! You're one hell of a fabricator.
 
@ChrisRomello, I don't know where to start. First, AWESOME ride! Is that a 69 Barracuda gas door? whoever frenched that in did an amazing job. Is it on bags? I think it is really cool that you did this to a beautiful more door car. I love the color. I like the wheels, too. What are they? Great job.

That is one of the nicest 4-door Mopars I have ever seen!

Just daydreaming on what my take on it would be. (Bucket seats, console, manual shift, Barracuda Formuls S grill...)

Not taking anything away from your car.

Its absoutely beautiful!!

Cheers!!
 
Very Nice Chris, Grandma would be very proud.

That's a fuel door from a new challenger
 
That is one tremendous build. Congrats on such outstanding work!!
I will have to go back and re read every page when i have time!
Thats real hotroding!!
 
I would call your car a "Modify" not a restored. I little too low for my old ***, but a nicely done job. I'm from your neck of the woods, maybe I'll see it one day. Looks like you are missing a rear plate. If you have a photo or details of it, maybe someone here may have one.
 
Chris that is one fine ride. You never see any Valliant's any more. Or at least around here. Love how you did the fuel cap.

I have the rear trim piece, I just haven’t made the time to polish it like the rest of the trim. It not in the best condition and it a lot of work! I put about 12 hours into the grill alone to get it where its at! I am looking for another rear panel in better condition if I can find it!

The fuel door is from a modern challenger, it IS on bags, and the wheels are from Detroit Steel Wheel 18”x8” 4.5” backspacing on the front, 18”x9.5 5.5 backspacing on the rear with a mini tub.

Don't know what you have left but what you have now should take home some trophies. If not the judging was fixed .

It's not all about trophies, though it is to some. What I enjoy most about car cars is when people can relate to your car, with their experiences. I remember those cars, I had one, wish I had one, my friend had one, ect. It's all about the stories.
