hey everybody, just browsing the forums and thought i would say howdy. im looking forward to learning a few things from everybody, i havent turned a wrench in quite a few years.

i live in oklahoma and am currently in the process of moving my mopars down (im from kansas). i have a 1976 plymouth valiant 4-door w/ 225 slant 6. my pride is my 1972 dodge demon 340. the valiant was originally purchased as an interior parts car for my demon, but its going to be a daily driver instead. the demon is going to be a full frame-up restoration, right now it runs solid and is a complete car, short a few interior pieces, the body is probably about 80% rust free.

i bought the demon when i was 16 (1997) and the valiant in 2001. in about 2002 i got out of the old cars. well, here i am 12 years later ready to get started on a long overdue project, restoring the ole demon. im planning to bring the valiant down first and doing any repairs needed to use it as a daily driver.

 

heres a pic of the demon, the gold car to the right that you can barely see is the valiant.

 

its not a numbers matching demon, so im not worried about keeping it the stock colors. im planning to go with one of the traditional mopar colors, plum crazy or lime green probably, as well as converting all the interior to black.

 

i also plan to go back with the original flat black sizzler hood design, i think that would look sick with a either of the colors i mentioned.

in a few weeks when i bring the cars to my new home i gotta get to work on the valiant as its going to be my new daily driver, any ideas on what kind of MPG is possible with it?
