Alright. Car runs and drives fairly normally, time for the fun stuff. Started doing the peel and seal 'dynamat' on the floors, rear wheel arches and roof. The pic is when I had finished the first two rolls, and went back and did two more, so coverage is almost 100% on any flat surface from the...

So, finished plumbing the fuel cell this weekend. I laid down a few coats of truck bed liner, cut a recess for the bottom of the cell out of the bottom of the trunk, and ran the hard lines from the mechanical fuel pump to the cell. I may reenforce the floor of the trunk a little bit more later...

I agree, but I want her to be a DD when I'm done. Gas here has been around $4.20 a gallon for a long time and my commute is 50 miles a day, so I'm sticking with the slant six and a single barrel for quite some time. I may do a two barrel setup in the future, but that depends on me finding/making...

Finished up and bled the brakes today. Also bombed the door jams flat black, and the underside of the trunk lid military green. Next step, plumb and possibly replace the fuel cell (got one for free, but it doesn't have a fuel sender). I'll probably use it to mock up though. Also want to put down...

Thanks for the props! The guys at the scooter board don't seem to keen on a Valiant build, and it seemed like I found a good place for her. At first I'm going to run it stripped from the front seat back with no rear handles until I finish the back seat area. We've had it for 3 years, and I've...

Thanks for the warm welcome. Hopefully this is the beginning of something awesome [cl

Hey everyone, I'm Travis from the big island of Hawaii. I've always loved rat rods, but old cars are hard to come by because we get tons of rain. I've mostly work on scooters, but recently got a 1968 Plymouth Valiant 4 door. Here's my build thread: '68 Valiant Here's a couple of my scoots...

Hi from the big island of hawaii! This is my first post, but I've been lurking for some time to get some ideas. Not sure if mine fits in the "Rat" category, but it was definitely full of them when I first got it. My cousin and I bought it 3 years ago out of a barn across the street. It had been...
