S Series Valiant

this is an ADR resin kit, chucked the cheese cutters and using some wide tyres with hubcaps, will be lowered and custom paint.

This will look great - these old style valiants are cool, wish I had got one of these kits for myself.

will be watching this

These area a nice kit. are those rims from the 74 street cougar?

Really? I've heard they were a pig of a kit :S
Either way, I'll have to keep an eye on this.

Can't wait to see how this turns out DV8.
As far a the quality of this kit...............It can't be as bad as the Jaymar kits I've been working on, it's just a pity they didn't get the dash right.
Tim

the hubcaps are from the cougar, the quality isnt too bad as far as fit and outside detail goes, but the underside has that hole along the tunnel and some of the deeper recesses look like they have sand in them, the dash is ok but the door trims are almost non existant, im hoping that my dazzling paintwork will deflect attention from these flaws

Looking forward to that dazzling paint job mate, will look great i think.

I look forward to this one too. I hope you can make something good out of it. I reckon you will.

I'll be keen to see this one.

a bit of progress

i bought two tins of this great looking anodised paint but when i tried it the result was very dissapointing (especially as it was pretty expensive) so i read the instructions and found its supposed to sprayed over chrome, i had a can of chrome spray so i tried it out and thats the color i got ...dont know what its called !



the kit is a curbside so doesnt come with an engine or a seperate bonnet but i did turn a jaymar kit into an R series and put an engine in that, heres the link https://ozautobuilders.forumotion.com/t280-r-series-valiant?highlight=r+series

Well done on the Jaymar body, neat R series conversion job .
I've got 4 Jaymar bodies (3x S series and 1x R series 2 door) so I KNOW how tough they are to work with. Gotta get my bum into gear and put the final touches to my S series coupe build (or should I be calling it a Plymouth V200???).

interior is finished, detail was minimal so i added a floor shifter and some PE speakers and flocked it

Well done dv8v8, those colours will go perfectly with your body colour, i like it!

Yea that looks sweet as mate.

this ones finished, thanks for all the encouragement and suggestions

Beautiful car, didn't know. Liked the interior color, very beautiful. Hugs.
