Nice car! Is that a '71 340 Hemi Orange car? Just noticed the factory color where the heater blower motor was located on the firewall.
Can't wait to see this one come together.

The only problem was he didn't have enough light and had a couple thick and thin places. The thick places just took some extra wet sanding, the thin places we'll fix afterI get it all put together. Other than that I'm very happy. I've told him he needs more light and I think he finally broke down and got some. Make sure you ride him about being short!

To me the duster and dart is one of the hardest cars to body work to. They have so many body and there a bit@# to get straight. I can crank through a b body so much quicker. The cars looking great and keep us updated as I love this car.

Going to be a great looking car. Keep us posted on your progress. I think it's great to see younger guys restoring old mopars. Sooner or later us old farts will have to give them up.
