    hey guys. i just wanted to say thanks for pulling this wagon out of that back yard. i spent the last year going through the whole thing. new brakes, rear end, plumbing, gas tank and so on. the motor was shot, so i got a new block and rebuilt it. i also rebuilt the transmission. most of this was a first to me so it took a little longer than you guys probably could have done it. but its back on the road finally and i have put about 800 miles on it so far. i sure am glad i ended up getting this car and it didnt get crushed. not all these old cars get a second chance.

    Yaaaaaaaaaaaay.....that's Vicky the Valiant!! That's what we called her anyway. :D
    It really put a smile on my face to see she's on the road again.
