I brought the duster out to my parking lot and did a nice little burnout. It didn't instantly break, so that is a good sign. Now it’s time to wet sand and add more clear for a deap shine.

Working on hooking up the neutral/park lock out and the reverse lights.

Well i got the car started up today. It runs great. I have to bleed the brakes, adjust the rear suspension, and loom the harness wires. then it gets a low speed test drive in parking lot. I was able to modify the stock /6 auto shift linkage to fit the 46rh. I also included photos of the od and...

I started mocking up the exhaust today, but I needed to stop until i acquire some hangers. I decided to ditch the 3 bolt header flanges and use V-bands. I am putting the mufflers at the rear, most likely using borla xs mufflers. I also installed a cheapie ebay radiator. I finished up the rear...

Yes sir, I dumped the ram airbox. I don't recommend using one on a stock firewall if your after aesthetics. I have a factory a/c box and wiring, but I couldn't find a replacement a/c firewall. I ended up installing a non a/c firewall. I plan to purchase the Classic Auto Air kit. I will create an...

I bedlined the trunk and interior. Now onto completing the electrical wiring, the fuel system, and running brake lines.

I got most the drivetrain installed. Just need to have a driveshaft made now.

I painted the rest of the body parts this last weekend.

Well finally dropped some paint on the body. I painted all the backsides of the body panels too. Next step is to color sand the paint and spray the interior of the trunk and passenger compartment.

Well after finishing a ton of other projects, I finally decided to dust (pun intended) off this project and finish it. I bought a 2 post lift to make my life easier. I decided to go back to a stock firewall and use a carburetor instead of fuel injection.

Well, I have been slowly trying to figure out how to connect the stock dodge ram steering column to my duster steering box. I ordered up a Borgeson steering coupling to go from my stock box to a 1" double d. I then used the water jet at work to cut out an adapter from the ram shaft to fit the...

I really liked the quality of the autoweld rails. I put them in my duster. You can put them closer to the centerline of the car if you want more room for bigger tires. They fit the contour of stock floor pan nicely. They came out perfectly lined up where they meet up to the taillight panel.

Thanks. I need to quit dragging my feet on it and get it finished.

I put the engine in to mock up the whole car and test fire the engine and a short drive is in store. After I get everything mocked up i will blast the car upart. Then i will put in on my rottisserie to paint the underside and interior. On a side note, I am building a 4x8 CNC plasma table . I...

Hello, I have been painting aircraft and automobiles off and on for the past 12 years and can offer some insight. I have used many brands of paint depending on the end result I am after. I have used TCP Global paints on a few of my vehicles with great sucess. They are pretty economical in...

Well, I cut out pieces of the firewall I didn't need anymore and welded In new pieces that I madeup. I got rid of the stock wiper motor and will be Installing a remote under dash unit.

I did some work.

When I rebuilt the back half of the car due to rust and previous damage, I deciced to over build it. That way if ever want to put wider tires on I wont have to hard of a time. 295's are plenty wide for now. I probably wont even drive the car for another year or two. You right though, I built...

I received my tires from summit today. I ordered them at 2:45pm monday and they showed up on my doorstep at 11:45 am tuesday. Its crazy how fast I get stuff from them. I set the tires in place and they look good. I am making a wheel fitment tool to set the tire in place with different offsets. I...

Denny, I love going to work because of all the machinery we have. We recently got a new lincoln 375 tig and a 4x8 arclight dynamics cnc plasma table. To tell you the truth I know very little about the actual forces that play into a 4 link design. This is my first one I put together after...

Well, I got the taillight panel welded in, started welding up the running light holes and fuel filler door. I also ordered the 295/50r15 tires I am going to run and will fit them in the wheel wells to determine the rim backspacing I need to order. I think I am going to run 15x10 steel cop...

I have had some time lately to work on the the duster. I welded in the panels I made to connect the tubs to the body. I am almost finished welding in a couple brackets I made to connect the trunk spring brackets to the tubs. I finally made a support structure for the fuel cell and made a box to...

I wouldnt say i'm buding the car to be either. I am just building it the way i want it, which is cheap and resourceful. I would say the tubs/axle/4link are more pro street and the engine/trans and soon to be sway bars are more pro touring.

I got the motor stabbed in and the tranny in for mock up. I still have to finish the trans cross member and fix the metal I had to cut out on the car for the trans to go in. I also bolted the ram steering column in with the original column bolts. I just have to modity the shaft that connects to...

Holy crap I have not been busy, but i did get a few things done. I bought a 1994 dodge ram 5.9 auto for my engine. I parted it out keeping the wiring, engine, transmission, dash, and fuel pump. Luckily I made my money back and more and also buying a 2wd transmission. I also bought a oil pan...

Well, I have been working on side projects to make extra money for my car so I haven't had much time to work on it. I ordered up a 20gallon aluminum fuel cell and got it in. I also bought a stick of 1x1 and 2x1 tubing to mount the cell. So this weekend i am going to try and get it in. I will...

After I got off work today i got the left side pretty much all spot welded in.

Well worked for a few hours today and got the right side pretty much all welded in. I also the left side clamped in place and ready to be welded. I'm gonna order up the summit racing 20 gallon fuel cell and get that installed. I amso going to order a universal sway bar for the rear end so i can...

Well got the wheel wells test fitted and trimmed. Got them and the trunk floor extension primed. Now I just need to install them next weekend. I need to buy some metal for the fuel cell cage and also buy a fuel cell.

Got my wheel tubs tacked together. I don't want to rtv the wheel tubs to the quarter panel like most people do. Im gonna bend up a flange that connects to the quarterpanel opening and connect it to the wheel tub. Hopefully it works and if not i will just rtv them.
