My "new" '74 Duster- or why I need a project like a hole in the head
Not a whole lot in the update department for the Duster, just a few odds and ends. I filled the area in the rear support where the shock bumpers were mounted and made the corner fill pieces to cover the gap between the tail panel and the bumper, completing the work I did earlier to hang the earlier '71 bumper on it. The tail and support panels now more closely match the earlier style. And I finally leaded the seam where the the tail panel attaches. So there is some new black paint but it's just rattle can over the leaded corners.
I've mostly been working on my '71 EL5 GT, trying to get it back together so I can shuffle my projects around. My Challenger is torn down and needs some extensive metal work so I wanted to finish all the welding on the GT before I swap spots with the Challenger. I added a full US Cartool stiffening kit to the GT and need to button up the interior, plus finish the transmission rebuild to I can put the driveline back in. So the Duster is doing daily driver duty and remains black and tan.
