MY VC'S * DONE BABY DONE!!*

This was built in the 70s and repainted over 20 years ago, runs a strong 360/ 727 trans. Guards were flaired back when they knew how, it has late model bucket seats, harnesses and
i recently built an old school looking console to house the B&M ratchet shifter in. Goes pretty hard but i just like cruisin in it.



Rocker covers were black powder coated so i stripped them by hand and spent a week sanding and polishing them up, wiring is hidden aswell.


I LOVE IT, its alot of fun as i have some mates with vals and we organise the occasional mopar cruise, they turn plenty of heads seeing 8-10 old girls cruising into town.

Nice looking car, great cruiser.

Had to reread what you wrote, I was thinking why are you trying to turn 8-10 year old girls heads, then I realised it was the cars.

She's a beauty mate, looks like alotta fun

Very nice.

now that's one you don't see a lot of these days ,good to see it,seen a old AP5 ute the other week it had supercharge sticking out the bonnet.

That's a dandy old girl.Good to see it going and appreciated.Best to you, Bill

Had a busy day today, found an addition for the shed, a new toy to add to the inventory. A barn find VC valiant ute, to go with my sedan,. It has had a 245 Hemi slotted in where the sland used to reside, not real keen on the colour so that will be changed before it is rego'd, thinking silver , with a candy red low rider style job on the roof, widies and white walls. Will take a bit of time, but what else is there to do over christmas .?




And finally, where it belongs!

couple of rusty bits to fix, but should not take long i hope, then PAINT!!

Very nice Dale. Very jealous. Yup color has to be changed for sure. Are you going to go back to the slant or leave the 245 in ? ...IF .... it was me ...it would get a 360 in it and painted the same as the sedan.. then I would be out looking for a wagon which would get the same treatment ...a matching set ...but its not me sooo ..... :-P

Cool ute there, is that a Drifter behind the shed?????
It'd be a sweet one to grab for any collection!

NO Dean, i will not be slotting in a 360, i need something i can afford to run more than once a month. The 245 will stay mate, it will be used regularly, so needs to be affordable, but i like the idea of finding a wagon aswell, then i could flog off the P/T ,and have 3 REAL cars.

Nice.
I'd keep the pink though...

Nothing wrong with your eyes Rob, Yes, it is a drifter he dragged out of the bush, all broken windows but salvageable, it will take up the space in the shed left by my ute.
Is actually a factory 4 speed too.

And rare as rocking horse droppings or a packet of chips that's not 90% air!!!!

Cool stuff Dale.

Have cut out all the rust and repainted it silver,  been painted about 1 hour when pic was taken.




And here is a test pilot for what i am going to do on the roof of it. Just working out what i can and can't do, what does or doesn't look right. It's a bit rough, but just a tester.

Cool as mate.

Thats awfully cool, needs a bit of green thrown in there too I rekon

Glad to see the old girls in good hands

Thanks Rob & Slowly, she's definitely eating into my modeling time, and mate , NO green, sorry.

Can you imagine if they remade these old girls. The early VC,E,F and G valiants, the HK,T,G and Q Holdens and the XR,T,W,Y Falcons. Every man (and quite a few chicky babes) in Australia would have a 'New' car in their driveway and the Australian car industry would be a world class leader !

LOVE the paintwork mate. Would expect nothing less from your talented hands and imagination !

Nice pair of cars...will be great when the ute is on the road.

Cool pair, both of these are getting rare these days, my brother in law would drool over these, he as always said only real car is a mopar.   he was surprize I buy mopar kits too.

Looks great DeeCee, Line work is coming up nice.

Thanks for the compliments guys, BIG week-end this one was, spent the whole week-end on the roof of the ute.
Over 300 mtrs of fine line tape and blue painters  masking tape was used, with back masking and re-masking etc.
Just needs to be clear coated next week-end.



















Its not perfect, but should make it stand out i think.
Now, hopefully i might find some model time.

stands out alright

You nailed it!! Looks cool.
