so hope these come through

That looks almost what my Duster used to look like. This is a crappy picture, but I never really took pictures of my car when I was running it. It looks a lot lighter when its out in the sun.

Out in the sun it looked just like yours does :thumrigh:

cool Craig maybe the blue wont be so bad after all.

is that B5 Blue?

Lookin good Chad! :thumleft:
I'm still haven't decided on a color for mine,i have several in mind blue is one of them. :)
When i first got it i was thinking orange until i went to Carlisle an counted at least 6 orange Duster's!That changed my mind pretty quick,i want something different than everyone else!
Hey,what if i re-spray it in it's original F7 Green? :wink:

SLIMEGREEN :lol: :afro:

no its not F5 blue. Its a silver metalic blue. The orginal color was more a petty blue which I thinks is the ugliest color in the world.

I with you Scamp, everyone has a orange or yellow or lime green duster, I said to hell with it and just painted it close to the orginal color.

I think that green would be alright better than lime green or maybe the darker hunter green.

I almost painted mune butterscotch, that was the color of the primere and it didnt look bad.

Looking good Chad, blue cars are faster anyway :thumrigh:

Looks good Chad.
I know what you and Scamp mean about the paint.
Black is still my first choice for my car, but I want the black Duster stripes because it just shows off the body lines better. So I've been looking at some of the newer colors for ideas. I like that dark Viper blue, and alot of the bright colors seen in some of the trucking mags. I just think it would be kinda cool to use one of those colors but then still have the factory stripes.

Looks good Chad! :cheers: :cheers: How Long before you figure it's done and your driving?

Jack

Looking good Buddy. Can't wait to see her when she's road ready.

Looking good. :thumleft:

well ordered all the weather stripping today and a stripe kit black 340 mat 340 strips with the the 340 changed over to 440. I stated assembly on the lower half today for the engine. I should have the lower half done by tomorrow or thursday. the heads are being ported hope to have her as a long block by next week. Hope to have her running by the first week of Oct.

Looks good!
Don't forget to paint the engine compartment now, nothing cleaner than a stock Mopar body color compartment.

That looks real good! I have a friend who just painted his Duster Prowler Orange. Definitely a car that looks good in almost any color. Nice work. 8)

Hey Chad where did you end up getting your weather stripping from? Was it a complete kit or did you have to order it in pieces?

Mind if I tow my crate down to El Paso for a quickie garage re-paint too?

Looks good Pal.... Make sure you do right for your buddy :thumrigh:

Gene has done a nice job. He took most of the dents out and cleaned her pretty nice.
Hey Crag it doesnt look like the same car. :D :D :D

Chad, that looking real nice! you mut be happy with the results :cheers:

Nothing like a reborn Mopar! :D


Steve.

It coming along. I bought the weather stripping from Jacks but still havent gotten it yet :evil:
