68 Plymouth Valiant

[chip]

Here's my car . I was heavily influenced by CC in the late 90's. My favorite was the orange Duster. Originally a slant6/3spd, I moved to a 318/904. Now the car has a 360/727. I have also installed a 8 3/4 with 3.23s with a sure-grip. I plan to put the headers on and clean-up more in the engine bay this weekend.

Does anybody know of a good company to buy fiberglass hoods from? The air cleaner sits a little higher on the 360 and interferes with the hood. I would like a bolt on fiberglass unit with a hemi hoodscope.



I bought the car in 1996 when I was 16. I'll have to scan some of the old photos and post them one day.

Re: 68 Plymouth Valiant

Looks great! Have you tried using a drop base air cleaner? I've heard good things about aarqualityfiberglass.com but for whatever reason they only list the hoods as fitting 69-72 and I didn't think the 67 or 68 hoods were any different at all.

I love the simple look, and the steelies.

Nice!

Re: 68 Plymouth Valiant

I actually prefer Valiants to Dusters (but like 'em both). Nice ride! No clue on the hood, though.

Re: 68 Plymouth Valiant

Looks very tough and business like with that paint colour and the wide steelies. I'd suggest trying to find a way to keep the stock hood though, for appearance.

Re: 68 Plymouth Valiant

Looks great as is . If it were my car I'd build a drop base air cleaner if I had to to keep that flat hood !
