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.

I have a letter with photographs I send to the directors of the HOA pointing out their own infractions... They let it go...Happens about every 12 months.
