Just wanted to congratulate Scott, and Ross for thier inclusion in this months HOTROD mag!!

Went and picked up the Valiant over T-giving. It hadn't been touched, and a quick inspection revealed about 7 teeth gone off the ring gear. So I decided not to mess with it until I returned to Phoenix. It was in the 40's in Oklahoma, and it occured to me that I should drain the water out of the car before the trip back, but somehow it never got quite done.
My son and I loaded up and headed across OK, TX, and NM on an all night run, and pulled into Gallup for breakfast. When we got out to the truck and trailer I noticed water coming out of the Valiant sitting on the trailer....below is the pic of the icycles hanging out of each freeze plug. I haven't even put it on jack stands since I made it home.
