My 1968 Valiant 100 Overhaul begins. :)

-
Signets generally have chrome (? may be stainless steel; haven't looked that hard) side-window frames, a trim strip between the tail lights on the lower edge of the decklid and rocker panel trim. 100s...Generally have body-color window frames, no trim strip between the tail lights on the decklid and no rocker trim. The grills are the same. The dashes are different.
 
Here's some pics of the '68 Valiant '400' our club built as our 2008 charity raffle car project. '400' since we but a 400ci big-block in it. Also had RMS AlterKtion front and Street Lynx rear suspension setup.
