Been busy getting a few things done,took the engine out with the help of my 13 year daughter. ATI powerglide case is getting ready to be filled with all the interior guts..
Next thing to do is probably change the 65 valiant firewall, fun fun, fun....just wanted to share with you guys....

Been having Insominia cause this little valiant is not ready yet,
thinking, things to do, things haven't done, things can't do, cant afford...... Iam sure iam not the only one with this problem...

The best part is seeing your daughter working with you! Priceless. Where are you going to race, and how far is the tow? I have spent time in the Valley, but didn't know(or think) there was a track.

Good to see. I try with all of my three kids (21, 15 & 11). Once in a great while one will come out & hang with me in the garage, at a cruise night or car show but for the most part they have no interest in any of my car hobbies. Here is my youngest fitting the seat during the cage install.

Yep that's awesome. All 3 of my boys are into cars. My middle son (28) has my 72 340 4 speed Duster. My youngest (22) is into his turbo VW and my oldest (33) has a (choke, cough) Camaro. I did my best so 1 out of 3 aint bad I guess.

One of my grandson's and grandaughter's digging the AAR. Out of thirteen granchildren I have, he's the real car nut. He even makes the shifting noises has if he was going through the gears. Puts a on my face.
