Here are some pics of my rides that I promised you all.
There is my Vicky and the other is my '64 Valiant wagon. The wagon is called Aunt Betty after my wife's great Aunt from who's estate we bought the car from for $150. Betty is getting painted this week end. When pictures are available, I'll post them too.

Hey Glenn, thanks for the welcome. Yes, it is metallic brown. That is the stock color called Hawiian Bronze Metallic. They may have even called it iridenscent back in the day. The top is the stock color too but I forget what it was called. Probably Sun Tan Lotion Cream or something to go with Hawiian Bronze.
Did you paint your car yourself? Is that candy green over silver? Kind of looks like a Winfield fade-away paint job. I bet that grill took a few days to complete.

Howdy Chopped50Ford. Thanks.

Yup! I like them Valiants too. My middle son, David (barely seen in the outdoors picture), and I are building it for him but I told him that if he decides that he is tired of it, I'd give him the few grand that he has into it and keep it for myself. I bought the car for $150 and have about $10,000 http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif into it when you figure parts, materials and labor. I just wouldn't be able to get rid of it.
