[340dusterr]

hey guys so its been a long time since i have been on the website but i have made big progress on the duster to get it road worthy took little longer than i had thought cause of work and life but I'm buttoning things up here in the next couple weeks just in time for some summer cruising (I'm missing many pictures of the actual engine tear down) but engine was perfect don't have the money to do full rebuild so just did the basics for now to get it on the road! ill take more updated pictures soon but since these I've also got the super stock springs installed , floor pans welded in and the cragar SS wheels for the front and yes i know the traction bars are useless but they look killer and match the 70s vibe I'm going for.

Man that sure looks like fun!! Your doin it right, get er back on the road and enjoy driving it. Car has great patina. Thanks for bringing me back to mid 80's when you could still find these cars in driveways and on the side of the road with for sale signs in the windows

What engine do you have there? I see it has a cast crank harmonic balancer. Is it a 73 340 or 360, if so does it have the correct flywheel? If you have it under control, disregard this reply. Good Luck!

The pic I like best is the springs under the tree.

Same here, nothing like car parts or tools under the tree! Santa must have had to do some maneuvering to wiggle those through the fireplace.

That's a thing of beauty, I bought one just like it in 1981 but yellow and it wouldn't run.
I bought it for the 340 and scrapped the rest 8 3/4 and all, what a dumb ***!

I think most of us that have been doing this for a while have done stuff like that and regretted it later.... I scrapped a AAR Cuda back in 1990 after stripping some parts because quality body parts weren't available back then.
