One thing I can't stand on the above Valiant is the little scoops on the lower fenders. They really should have factored the need for them vs the awkward appearance of them . :clueless:

I don't like them either but I understand why they were done that way.  I like the fact that they retained all the original exterior paint...or lack there of.  That wouldn't be possible if they would have designed(and painted) a different scoop.  Maybe they could have done without them all together...

definitely a lot of work. I guess a Gen Xer might trae in his Fast and Furious Civic for it.

Easy there HK...I'm a Gen X'er and wouldn't trade my Barracuda for that thing in a million years! By the way, never did the Civic thing either.  I like my cars to run on gasoline, not sake  :naughty:

Don't worry; I'm not saying "all" Gen Xers  :bigsmile: And for the records, Civics aren't bad cars, either.
