1972 Duster Build

Picked up all the parts from the blaster yesterday. Cleaned them up and shot some primer on them to keep the flash rust at bay. Got my new radiator and all my brake calipers delivered. Installed the fronts. Temporarily installed the radiator to check fit and set the hood on her for the first time... Perma grin!

Started tearing my 318 apart yesterday as well. Bottom end looks tired, little bit of a lip on the top of the cylinder walls, not too bad and some wear on the cam lobes. Had newer gaskets on the heads and intake, looks like the heads may be in decent shape maybe gone through recently. Was hoping the bottom would look a bit more promising. Talked with a local shop this morning, one of the builders is a member here on A Bodies... Thinking we can get her done with a mild build under $1500.
