Wow your Duster is looking good so far! It's nice seeing the rusty ones being saved. You going back to the lemon twist?
 
Definatly not going with the yellow! I'm leaning towards charcoal gray, or possibly a mid night blue....

Finaly got the tunnel hump welded in...



Also picked up a new set of door hinges...
