I was able to get to the front end on the convertible today…

The grill, bumper, etc are not installed. They are likely in the trunk… covered with toad fenders and two thick tarps… :roll: next time I’m over there I will try again. :)

OK, Thanks.

I am having body work done on my 65 Valiant 100 2Dr, and my 64 Valiant 100 4dr. Both have the front shields that are quite rusted through. I do have a shield that is pretty decent was going to go on the 64 car. But the 65 Car is further along, so will use that shield on the 65. That means I will need a shield for the 64 Car, I plan on rebuilding the turbo motor, and reinstalling in the 65 Valiant, with a manually shifted PB 904. Car already has a 3.91 SG 8 3/4 rear. The 64 4Dr needs to get the body work done, and the new "K" member swapped out. All new front suspension & steering wear parts replaced, and up graded to 10 inch brakes. Engine is fresh with only 7,000 miles on the 170., 3 spd on the tree, and a 3.23 7 1/4 rear. Of course in-between those jobs and in my spare time I'm Working on my 84 D-100, built a new 360 engine and installed in my 88 D-150, and trying to replace the evap in my wife's 88 Dippy.
Oh, Plus I had to modify the Clifford shorty headers to fit the 170 engine in my 66 Valiant, get them ceramic costed, installed, and down pipes made.
