I do have to admit, and no one smack me for this, but I love classics and muscle cars more then I do mini trucks, but its not my fualt, its what I was raised on. My last duster had a /6 in it, it was fun, but it lacked the rumble and rock of a V8. I use to live next to the puyallup fiar and when the goodguys show came into town, I would sit out there and watch all of the classic and hot rods. I was comming home one time and had a dude in like a 30's pickup, couldnt tell cuase it was dark, but had a blower sitting out of the hood, and the whyne of the engine and the rumble of pure raw power made me think, thats what my valiant is going to be.

when I first got the car, the plan was to big block it, 4 link rear with coilovers, and make it sit low, but then I discovered airbags and was thinking, if I sit that low and come up to a large speed bump, I could just air up and go over it, then came the ambition to lay it on the ground, then I looked at the engine bay and thought, I wonder if the motor will even fit when its bagged.
I have a guy that will build me custom UCA with an angle in them to try and keep the camber not so much, but I have to get him how high my ride hieght is going to be.

and honestly, I am not that large of fan for steelies, I think on some vehicles look good with them, expecially era style restorations or builds, I like wires, but like I said before, I would really like large custom wheels.
