My 1965 Valiant wagon street / strip project

First time in this thread, haven't read all the pages yet. LOVE the wheel/tire combo, and stance, from ten years ago. Don't change that!

No, that's the way it looks right now.

I never mentioned any names.

Best one to date was the 3 tab shingles covering the holes in the floors
 
It runs , I have a video but, don't know how to post it ..

More or less, could take it for a pass today , need googles since the windshield isn't in yet
 
Our plans for project completion has hit a snag , the brand new trans built by a Mopar well known shop .. is a pos, it has 4 neutrals and leaks like a soaker hose


Here is video of engine running on a happier day

 
Not sure how many have read on here on racing forum the dilemma with 904 built by John Cope , Lowell, Indiana CRT transmissions ..

what a mess , it has more issues than the national geographic magazine ..


Not one problem but, several , he has to be blind .. and I have taken to another shop to repair it and they keep finding problems .. been over a month and bunch more money


really has me frustrated.
 
Is that the last piece of the puzzle before this beast hits the track?

More or less , some cosmetic stuff to do but, it runs .. it just doesn't move due to incompetent transmission builder, its been in and out now 3 times, waiting for repair again and hopefully by Thursday it will move forward and backward.
 
The Valiant runs , moves .. I have video but, don't know how to put it on here

Hood looks like it will clear without any clearance problems

Close to done here, air cleaner will be changed to something else, just put on to avoid a disaster at alignment shop
