Csaba aka felhasznaaloo Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Tried to kind of replicate a friend's 1:1 car. Rebuilt out of a dealer promo model, which I bought off ebay. Wheels are resin, made by my friend mentioned above. Paint is Zero Paint Chevy Le Mans blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 That is a beautiful 1962 Valiant ! It especially looks nice in that blue colour ; and the tyres and wheels are perfect ! I have a 1960 or 1961 Valiant hardtop disassembled promotional which needs a restoration . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I like it and I’ve always been a big Valiant fan. Nice work. Is your friend with the car in your country? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Sweet. That's about as nice as one of those cars can look. The right color, wheel choice, and stance have transformed this car big-time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ModelcarJR Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Csaba, it looks great! My wife had one of these when we first met. It was a faded bronze that looked like brown. It was a very ugly car. Her dad traded it in for a 67 Mustang Fastback. She got the better end of that deal. Your Valiant looks good! Nice work! 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prostreeter69 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Very nice!!! Really like seeing someone build this as a street car. Most of what I see have been cut up for racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
