I went to the track yesterday at Richmond Dragway to make sure I got rid of my high speed miss we picked up at Pinks All Out at Virginia Motorsports Park. It was the distributor. Anyway I really wanted a new best ET but I stood on the converter too hard and spun. So no new best ET but I went 123.86 MPH so that is a new best on speed. There is some nasty talking spectators at the first of the video so be warned. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eirM3Of1-0o

Thanks for the good words,
I plan on taking the Valiant out in Oct for a mopar show and race. And try to sell it with the new paint on it. I have never run a spray motor before so it should be a heck of a ride.

Body work is all done and I have the first tinted base applied and sanded. Now I need money to buy more paint and get it done.

Everything is going blue except the front bumper and that will be silver base clear. The car has stock rear suspension under it with the addition of old bolt on lift bars. It works real good from the photos I have seen. The rear tire are 10"x28" on 10" rims with a 50/50 back space.

Yea the leafs are moved in , The rear bumper is still chrome so I wanted it to match some. I am thinking about some stripes but I don't like the same old thing.
