I got this one running and driving last year too. It needs a full front suspension rebuild (Pierre had all needed parts for that and a front KH front brake conversation).
Someone put this thing in the ditch hard at some point. The K-frame is bent up in the center as is the oil pan. There...
I'm still daily driving Agnes. Last fall I pulled the cobbled together Holey 700 off and rebuilt a '73 thermoquad. WOW what a difference. This ol' girl was a riot before. With the thermoquad traction is a issue. If you are are rolling about 10 m.p.h. in 1st. And stab it she will roll the...
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...
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.
Some pictures have made their way to me.
Ill start with Pierre's cars.
Here you go.
The pink car was basically a roller when Pierre passed. Kevin and I assembled it enough at my house so Kevin could get it to Atlanta. He worked on that car every night to trailer it back up here to Iron...
I totally failed at getting pictures. Thetr were over 50 cars. Kevin took Pierre's pink dart home to Atlanta in December and had it together and driving for the show. He trailered it all the way back and we spent the week cruzing in it. I got Agnes together in time but couldn't drive it much...
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...
Because of parts availablity for the w2 engine I had to move on to plan B.
I have a 1970 340 that I bought at a swap meet years ago. They guy swore up and down this was a great engine. I bought it but was always very skeptical. It's been on a engine stand in my garage for about 10 years and...
