Thanks for the compliment Luke. I haven't been able to get much done this winter. A little closer on the body and another coat of eurothane primer. I've been working on getting the front and rear bumperettes figured out. Covid, weather, and work have all been a challenge. Hopefully i'll get a...

This is where it was last fall. Did a little more body work on the front and rear bonnet over the winter. actually got all the modifications done and body worked to probably 90%. Ill be reinstalling those soon so I can make sure the body seams and lines are what I want. I'd be interested to see...

Thanks Bill. I appreciate the kind words. My original plan was to stretch the whole car about 4 inches at the mid point. These doors are pretty short...

The nose does now tilt. Access to brakes, cooling etc. is much better. Made the "Lambo doors" much easier too, but that was kind of a mistake... They work and look good, but entry sucks! Oh well, you learn as you go sometimes!

Thanks Randy. I've started the build log!

Added a couple photos so you can see how I did my front end/ lower arms and rack and pinion, threw in one of my carb linkage too.

Not many sources for supplies/parts. I scoured through Ebay and craigslist pretty much daily.

I've got the mechanicals pretty well figured out on mine, just doing the final bodywork and assembly. I used a morse cable for the throttle with a sand rail gas pedal from EMPI. it seams to work well. I have a 4 pinion posi 4 speed trans axle with 3.70 gears. Word on the street is it should be...

Nice too see another with a vision of the Past! I'll be getting back to work on my '68 Valkyrie in the next few weeks.

Just joined and wanted to say hey to everyone. I've been working on my Valkyrie on and off for a few years, in between other work and projects. Hoping to get it on the road this summer! I know these aren't the favorite of the new generation kit cars, but I'm still a big fan of the 60's kits...
