Valiant Painted Engine Compartment MORE PICS - 08/29/10 11:47 PM

Well seeing how the times are crappy I have been spending a bunch of time working on the Valiant. Going go be my daily driver

. Wife is going to start driving the Ram

scary but should be good.

So much to the dismay of my neighbors here are a few pics from my driveway

.

Homeowners association is not to happy

with me but a few more weeks and we shall have it rolling.

Thanks to guys like Hemifred for taking all the stuff I had leftover from the first Dart build ans sending me a few things I needed to get it done.

Brian Smith for doing the same and getting me a few things also

.

Here they are sorry for all the ramblings.

ROLMMFAO ^^^^^^^^^

Yea I asked them to move their cars today so we could paint the car and not get overspray on their's.

If I could have done anything else when we remodeled was add a garage out back.
