I also installed new carpet and the seats. The seats are out of a Dart so I need to modify the rear seat frames. The valiant has a shorter wheel base so the wheel tubs interfere with the seat frames. The original seat belts were filthy and moldy. I cleaned them in my ultrasonic cleaner and...

And the exhaust.

I also had to repair the left door striker.

I did get this car running and driving over the summer. It needs some chassis work. It also needed some torsion bar cross member work. Whoever swapped the 3 speed bolt action shifter from the column to the floor butchered the cross member. I hand to section in a piece. Fortunately Keven had...

It's at a buddies body shop awaiting final body work and paint. Pierre had sent it to Jim before he passed. Kevin got that car when Pierre passed. Kevin is having Jim finish it to Pierre's specifications.

Man I wish I had your contact info. I would have let you know personally. I'm sorry I didn't make a bigger effort.

I trailered Agnes up to work today and tossed her up on the alignment rack after work tonight. I drove her a few blocks afterwards. This is the first time this car has moved down a road in years. The first time I have driven her since Pierre's and I started the v8 swap, how many years ago? It...
