Well Macho, I'm sorry to disapoint but not much has happened to the car since the last post. Another summer and winter has slipped by me due to some big changes, moving the machine shop out to my acreage consumed my summer and still left me without a place to work on the car for this past...

Nice work, way to go! I thought you young guys went for rice burners with super traps and a big *** sub in the trunk LOL. BTW, it's OK to put a big *** sub in that car too. Have fun cruisin. Kev

Hey guys and gals, spring has sprung and it's time to start thinking DRAG RACING!! I'ts been a while since posting anything, had a super busy winter and since losing my shop bay I had to park the Duster in the incomplete/unheated garage for the winter. So much for having the car finished for...

What a beautiful Duster, I'm jealous. Got to get off my butt and get some hours in on mine. Nice job Matt! Kev

No pics yet, giver another try!

Looks really great, did you sand blast it first? Kev

looks like you are moving forward on both projects, keep us posted. Kev

I understand what you're saying since that was my intention when I first got the car to have a stock look, rallyes and all but then I realized that it really needed a rotisserie restoration and I'm not into the time commitment right now for that and I really wanted to drag race it so I changed...

Thanks ramenth, I liked it when I first saw it too.

Maybe next time you're in E-town come on down and I'll show you some other stuff you might like (tell your wife you're just window shopping). If you need any help with lathe tooling let me know, I'd be glad to help. I think I might actually have some brazed carbide tools for your lathe you can...

Thanks inkjunkie but can't you see the engine attached to that housing? It's one of those ones from the seventies that gets 100 MPG but the oil companies keep stopping them from making it to market LOL. Kev

Hey Sid, I heard about him but never met him. I end up out that way once in a while since a friend of mine built a house just a little west of Calahoo. I didn't do the name with a face since I'm usually the guy behind the camera. I'll check yours out and see if my wife has one on holiday pics...

What took you so long LOL. I've been waiting for someone to mention they saw it on Ebay. Since nobody bid on it I assumed I paid too much. Will update any progress but it could be a while, I just rented the bay out today and have to be out in a week. Damn, I knew that would happen when I put...

340 Wedge, the car was originally EV2 hemi orange with a black interior although it came from the factory with a cloth bench seat and column shift 727 trans (exactly the same as my plum crazy Duster 31 years ago). Is your car an original V24 also?

Thanks, I built that booth at my shop for painting the machines my company used to manufacture(machines were smaller but I knew it would have to fit cars) but since selling the company it was sitting empty so it's a great place to build a car. I have to rent the space out soon so the booth will...

Thanks.

Since I got the car for cruising but also to get back into drag racing, I had to decide what to put into it for a power plant. When I purchased the car the fellow wouldn't sell the engine that had been in it (a healthy 340) so I started asking the good members of this site for help and got some...

I've posted a lot of questions and started threads about specific aspects of my car (mostly about race mods) but haven't done a proper build thread with photo's of the car so after a few requests from members here it is. I purchased the car off of fleabay and drove down to Seattle area to pick...

Way to go, I'm sure it felt good even with the ticking. Kev

That's the way to do it, jump in with both feet so there's no turning back. Do you have a donor roof already? Kev

Good luck on both projects, and BTW what year is that Camaro? LOL

Looks like you've got your work cut out for you. Just remember, one step at a time get's the job done. BTW that is the damn coolest garage door I have ever seen, what a great idea for low ceilings! Kev

Judge, looks like you are making steady progress, good on ya. Don't worry about your skill level or how others view your work, doing the work yourself will give you far more pleasure when it's finished than hiring it all out and just shelling out for a professional job. Kev

That's great progress on a car that is obviously very special to you, way to stick with such a large project. Can't wait to see the finished project! Kev

That's looking great 71Demon! I will have to do the quarters in my 71 Duster some day too but this week put metal in the lowers where pinholes were starting so I can get it finished and burn some rubber!! Looks like you're doing a first rate job and it'll be a car you can really be proud of...
