Lol. Back from the dead!

I have been wondering what a valiant would look like satin black. I like it and will be doing my other valiant the same way.

 

[71valiant]

It no doubt looks good. I get compliments all the time. I never answered the earlier question either. It does have a mini tub.

Very nice. And this is coming from an Exner-styling junkie!

Looks awesome! love the 67

I really miss my 71 Valiant. I love the 70-72 A's. I've got the 360 in it now. I've put a set of Hellwig sways on it to tighten it up a bit. Now I just need to get my 3.91's and the sure grip in.

Pics of the mini tub? What wheel/tire size out back and backspace? The one I just bought has the springs moved to the frames already. Is that a factory a body axle or something else?

Damn looks like another thing I did wrong on my 69 Valiant -- I like the satin black

 

[71valiant]

I'll get pics after work. Its got 295/55/15's on it. I think a 5.75 backspace. Its a 8.75, pretty sure its been cut down.
Iirc, it's 45 inches from backplate to backplate.

Here's a few pics.

They did a nice professional job on the tubs. It looks like they cut out 3",moved the inner in to the frame and added in a 3" section.

 

[71valiant]

Yeah, Thats what was done. I was glad it was done and I didn't have to mess with it.

I noticed in one pic it has tailpipes. Something you rarely see with minitubs. Can you post pics of the axle back exhaust pipes and how it's routed?

 

[khuebner250]

Nvm just saw it's a fuel cell car.

 

[71valiant]

Its got turndowns before the axle now. No tailpipes.
