Hello folks, seeing all your nice cars has given me the itch to get at least one project done.(my avatar says it all for me...):toothy10:
Well it's about time I get serious on finishing the wifes 1971 Duster.
I bought this car with some of the bodywork started (1/4's and 1 trunk extension) other than that it's real solid:afro:. I am not real happy with what the goodmark,or as AdamR calls them "Good Luck" :sign5:1/4's have for bodylines so I plan to give them some definition,sharpen them up a bit.
As far as I know my wife is the third owner of a car that has never left Saskatchewan. It has a whack of documentation that I only wish I had for
my 340 Duster.
It started life as a /6 3 speed on the floor,but it will now have A 340,A833 o/d. It's gonna be a 340 Duster tribute car( I just can't bring myself to calling it a clone):dontknow:
We've got a rally dash with complete wiring(both sides of the firewall), sharkstooth grille, 8 3/4 suregrip with 3.55's.
It's a buckets car already and we both like the looks of the earlier A body 4
speed console, so that's also in the plans.
I took advantage of challengergary's stripe sale an bought a complete 340 kit with callout on the hood.
I am going to use ryan426 as my benchmark because his Duster is bad *** :notworth:and it's what the misses should look like when it's done.I'm sure I'll have to pick all of your brains when it comes time to put it all back together as we bought is as a "Car in a BOX":-|
I'll update the pics as the progress continues.
Oh yeah....if anyone see's me on here for an exteded period of time, kick my *** and tell me to get out to the shop and get that Duster finished.......lol
