62 Valiant Signet 200... I've had it about 3 years so I figure it's about time I posted something about it. I got the rear end in it this weekend and put the new wheels and tires on the back. The front end is next.

I really like the way the 215-60R15 tires fill out the wheel well.

If you ever got out to SoCal (Beaumont) I have a pair of doors I'd donate to you if you need them.

Thanks. I've been through Beaumont a few times; I'll keep that in mind. I don't really need the doors but we might chat over a cup of coffee or lunch.

Not as sexy as tires and wheels, but here's a trinket for the dash.

The radio is a RetroSound unit with virtually infinitely adjustable volume and tuning controls. The nose is a perfect fit for the original dash opening so no dash mods are necessary.

The polished aluminum trim plate is a piece I made from 1/8" aluminum plate.

:D Just trying to keep it a rolloing chassis and I didn't have time to do both sides. It sits kind of lop-sided at the moment with one full size wheel and tire and one temporay roller; but it's progress.
