Fiberfab Valkyrie build.

[Dave Wagar]

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. Plus every car is only as good as the builder who puts their time, effort and money into it. I consider mine to be more of a 60's custom than a GT 40, (that would be my interpretation). I'll post some pictures soon!

 

[Terry Oxandale]

Welcome Dave. Couldn't agree more with your thoughts on necessity for the builder to put in an appropriate amount of effort and expense in order to have a quality project, regardless of how or what that projects started out with.

 

[Dave Wagar]

Thanks Terry.

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 what anyone else has done to one of these. The more accurate GT-40's are awesome, but it's hard to beat the fun per dollar of one of these "Oldies".

Hey!! Found your build thread. Any updates? Looks awesome!!

 

[Dave Wagar]

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 few more photos up soon.

Looking forward to it!

Any updates? I just bought a FiberFab Valkyrie, I'm looking for more info, hoping to share tips and get them back on the road.
Mine was running when parked 16 years ago, so it was once complete and working, although maybe not fully sorted.

Is this the red one from Michigan?

 

[Erik K]

It's more brown than red. But yes it is in Michigan. I believe it was stored in Novi MI for many years after the previous owner passed away. It was recently listed on FB.
