Dude, that is great looking home built race car I look at the chassis you've made and I want to see a four or five speed manual trans with a clutch in it so it will buck and snort leaving the line carrying the front tires about one inch off the ground YEEHAW

Awesome fab work!

Where did you get those light duty screw jacks? I've been looking for some like that forever..

The screw jacks are quite easily purchased here in OZ Jesse, most part suppliers stock them here. They do come in really handy.

Tex, I only want to do the major parts of the chassis once, so I am very much over doing it. Down the road this car will see a R5/P7 engine or something boosted. I am trying to convince a buddy of mine to drop his 572 B1 engine into it when he puts a single turbo on it down the road.

That is some beautiful fabrication, extensive and intensive.

With that much fab, why did you stay with leaf springs, instead of a ladder bar/ four link set up?

In a Valiant, there was basically only 3 variants in a 2 door coupe/Hardtop

VH-CM Charger


VF-VG Hardtop (68-69 Dodge with different s/m)




VH/CH - VJ/CJ Hardtop



Most Valiants in Oz are 4 doors, there aren't a lot of two doors around.

My fab work top notch? For a first attempt at this kind of level of stuff, I am doing ok I guess. I am learning a whole lot along the way and hopefully my TIG welding will look better by the time I finish!
