You and your team have done excellent work, there is no doubt about this. It has been a big favour for the whole Mopar community to restore a plain jane Valiant, a car that is very often overlooked. Not all Mopar enthusiasts have a possibility to have a R,V or U-code car as a basis for a resto job. In this hobby of old cars we should not look down on these 4 door sedan cars that kept most people on the wheels decades ago. Hundereds of thousands were manufactured, but how many are left now, and how many after 10 or 20 years? May be a few.
Many enthusiasts are already having in their garages rare or even more rare "sporty" muscle cars, but how many have a 4D Valiant, Dart, Coronet, Satellite etc... Dare to have one beside the muscle cars you already have. That's something different, COOL and a sign of a real automotive enthusiast.
I have for instance two '70 E bodies, a ragtop and a hardtop, both original big block cars, but now I am planning to have a early 70's or late 60's 4D Mopar, black, and the bigger the better.
Don't take too seriously the comments of those "experts" criticizing the level of your resto or some details. It's however a "Olympic Gold Medal" level resto. At least 99% of the Moparts members can agree it.
No matter what's the issue or decision in the life, you can't satisfy 100% of the people. Also in this hobby is the small group of people you can never satisfy.
Looking forward to see other great restorations from you. You have a given a lot to this hobby, keep up the great work.
