Back in 1986
From the Valiant Infobase archives: In Hamilton 1986.
We weren’t aware of just how special this Charger was when we purchase her for a lady in 1998 It was her husband’s car and she thought it was a police car or something special. Also hinted that it may have featured in a magazine at some time.
Ready to leave for work to start on back-to-metal restoration with Kool Kustoms in Gloucester in 2014.

Out in the light of day and nearly ready for the White Knight Special decals to be fitted. Thanks to Mark Dixon for your invaluable help with preparing the car (endless mscle building blocking) and then painting with gloss-off-the-gun Protec Paraglaze over Protec Multiprime.
Paraglaze Gloss is a premium two pack acrylic urethane single layer topcoat developed specifically to give solid and metallic colours the durability to withstand the harsh Australian conditions.
Paraglaze Multiprime is a two pack acrylic urethane primer specifically designed for application under Paraglaze Basecoat and Paraglaze Gloss.
The paints were provided by PPG Paint Powerhouse 26 Hudson Stree Hamilton, NSW, Australia, 2303 Tel: 02 4962 6572| Mobile: 0407 810670 where Warren Walters helped us in the process.
I chose that paint system because I wanted a good hard waring robust surface with no clear coat.
