    My 71 340 Duster resto

    I was going for a kind of 70's period look for the car. That's the way I remember them back in the day after the hotrodders(myself included) did their thing.

    My 71 340 Duster resto

    Sorry. Guess I'm confusing everyone with my handle being 71 Demon and doing a Duster??? My next car is a 71 340 Orange/Black Demon I've had stashed away for some time. The Demon is the car I cut my teeth on back in the day and when I got hooked on Mopars. Had a Curiuos Yellow 340 auto bucket...

    My 71 340 Duster resto

    I'm glad I did redo it. I would have never been happy with it that way but it usre was hard to put the sandpapaer back to it. I wasn't happy at all with the fit. In fact I have another post with pics of the misalignment on the top of the doors, the b pillar nad the rocker. Took a lot of cutting...

    My 71 340 Duster resto

    Yep I saw the shade difference in the pictures to but tried to deny it but once it was in the sun it was just way to different to tolerate. I thought if I put it together now I'll never take it back apart to repaint it right so......I got out the the sandpapaer and just did it. Looking at...

    Yea it really sucks. I can write a whole book on that experience now. I have done some in the past and never had this problem.

    She's all one color now and buffed down nicely.

    My 71 340 Duster resto

    Been a while since I posted but I had to back up and start over. Pushed her out in the daylight about a week ago and my panel paint job had shade differences. UGH.... So I took it down and shot more color and clear on the entire car and am now back in the wet sanding stage to buff her out...

    My 71 340 Duster resto

    I paint my cars. Have been doing them for sometime now but haven't painted one for a few years. Out of practice. Got a couple of clear runs I am working out. Not a biggie though just a little more blocking..ha..ha. I've blocked this car so much I thought it might become a square cube... It's...

    My 71 340 Duster resto

    Had the dash done at Mr G's in Ft. Worth Texas. I don't think I would recommend them. Not very customer friendly and their work is not that great. Has a few flaws I didn't really like. Had to have it done twice so I figured that's the best they could do. If I were doing it over I think I would...
