Might be a little premature on this as we're still arranging $$$ and travel plans, but this is soon to be ours in the next month or so. Here's to hoping that the deal don't fall thru and I'll have new little daily driver. I'll keep ya posted as we get closer, but I'm really excited about this! 1963 Valiant with a mildly hopped up 225 slant. link |

looks like a pretty clean machine. I'm digging the stance, is that just 2" lowering blocks and slammed torsion bars? It might not be the best ride quality but it'll always look good curbside. Hope the deal goes through and lets hear some details on this "hopped-up" slant. |

That's a pretty little car! The only thing that bugs me is the black engine bay... Hope everything works out! |

Is that car in SoCal? Looks an awful lot like the parking lot at Raging Waters in San Dimas, Ca. Nice ride. Lou |

We'll be having an open house at Bubba's next weekend (Saturday the 22nd). Should be a decent amount of cars, hot rodders that show up for it. Stop by and say hi, have a coke and a moon pie and enjoy the day. Not sure what time yet but I say noon is safe.

Well, unless something totally falls thru it's official. We're flying out to California in April to pick the car up and drive it back to Indy. Should make for an awesome trip and experience. We'll post some pics along the way. |
