Posting this for a good friend. Long time racer. 74 years old and getting rid of some of his treasures. PM me if interested and I'll put you in contact with him. "This 440 “ Kent Ritter short block From my ’65 Plymouth is for sale . I’m going back to my 427” A-8 WoO aluminum short block. Here’s...

We shot my sons Duster with B5 about a year ago. If you listen to the all the advice above it should turn out fine. B5 is the best color in Ma's book of colors ever IMHO.

Agree totally concerning the topcoat with flake or pearl. Gravity is also a factor. Don't paint a door lying flat on a stand with flake or pearl. It will flow differently than if it were hung or placed in its natural position as fully assembled.

Snapped this pic last Saturday as my son was heading out to hit the streets (and try to stay out of trouble:rolleyes:) on a beautiful evening here in Colorado. I thought it was cool. I thought I would share.

No worries. Yes, we have the knobs, face plate and heater hose bracket that is mounted by the alternator but they are in service on our Duster and are not for sale. :lol: The buttons should clean up to a point. You can see on the far right button in the picture where I scratched my fingernail on...

I have not bench tested it but my guess would be that it does work. The low price explains my inability to answer that question. Everything off of this car is about as virgin as it comes. Hell, we're still running the original engine. As for the wires, no, not cut up at all. All original...

Cleaning up the shop to make room for the next project and I have an assortment of parts from a 72 Duster. All parts are OEM from the car but sat outside for 23 years before we rescued it. Some parts are in better shape than others. Would rather get them to a good home. If they don't sell...

Hello R&D, sorry for the slow reply, I believe you spoke with my son, we still have the note here that you left him on his windshield. This is supposed to be a joint account between he and I but he rarely comes on here. His car, his nickle, I'm just his unpaid goon. If I remember correctly we...

Not at all. It get's dusty now and then but nothing a blast of air and a damp rag won't clear up. Ours still looks like the day we laid it down. Hard as nails.

You're not kidding. Ours had pretty deep surface rust on the low areas but not rotten. We spent a day or two wire wheeling the **** out of it then painted the rust areas with POR 15, then Raptor liner over that. If you're going to paint it like factory, it's a **** ton more work. We cut a corner...

We did our first show with it last weekend. It was an open street show, about 300 cars there. Jr. had a blast, as did I. Best comment of the day, "Why does it have three pedals"? I had to elbow Jr. to keep from laughing out loud. I responded, "It's a millennial anti theft device".

We had better make it soon. Nate is off to the USMC in August.

Sorry to crack open an old thread fellas, but it was asked above if Junior's senior pics would be taken with the car. As this is graduation week it got me thinking about it. This is the one that went in the year book.
