Pictures of lowered mid-60s Valiants and AMCs please

I've been looking at these for a next-project possibility lately and can't seem to find many pictures that show lowered (think road-race)cars.

Any insight to how they got that way or information how to get there would also be appreciated.

No?

Perhaps?

Its a Valiant.

Group 44 campaigned a Dodge Dart. And there's a couple Valiant / Barracudas in these pictures too.

Another stash on Facebook

Valiants are Mopar A-bodies using torsion bar front ends and leaf sprung rear. Lowering the front is as easy as unwinding the torsion bar and the rear lowering blocks. Now if you want it to handle too, I'd step up to larger diameter torsion bars first, and de-arched leaf springs out back.

The Barracuda in my avatar is the same chassis as a Valiant. In that pic it was still running the Super Stock rear springs and different front bars. It sits a little lower now, but it's tough to tell in this pic:

The AMC's of the '60's used a ball and trunion front suspension. I think the coil spring is above the upper control arm like an early Mustang. I don't think they went to a ball joint front end until '69. Javelin would have details on those.

Uhhhh YEAH! I'd drive it to your house to see if it'd mate with your AMC!
