My Jeep is repaired and back on the road. Time to start working on the Duster :)

Not yet. Need to get a fuel cell and battery. Plus I want to soak the cylinders before I spin it over. Everything is very fresh but don't want to take a chance busting a ring or something. I will probably try to fire it up next weekend or the weekend after that.

Clay barred the other side of engine compartment a little today. Now I can see a few scratches I will need to touch up. Hope to get the rest of the parts later this week. Sadly, the money I had earmarked for new tires is going in to fix my Jeep. My daily is a 99 Wrangler and some jerk ran...

Before and after a little washing and clay bar.

He says he may have a set of buckets from it. He's not sure. I still need to get some parts from him that he had stored at his business location. He still has the deck lid, rear window, bumpers, and grille. Not sure if it is a sharktooth grille or not but certainly hoping it is :)

Updated the title. After cleaning the windshield enough to actually see the VIN tag, turns out it is actually a 1971. C code /6 built in LA. Not that it really maters much but pretty cool it is a 71. Now I have my favorite year Duster AND Challenger - both 1971 slant six cars!

Small wheel tubs

Gave her a quick bath. Paint looks pretty darn good. Got one corner that got a little dinged and one area in the passenger side upper quarter panel roof area that needs some work. Otherwise, she really just needs some deeper detailing/cleaning. For now, I will touch up the chipped corner and...

Got her loaded up with the help of a buddy and a spare sets of wheels. Those tires are MASSIVE!

No go today. Rear tires were split from sitting deflated for years and would not pump up at all. Going back tomorrow with a set of spare wheels. Will take more pics tomorrow once I give her a quick wash

Picking it up today!!

Been cleaning out my garage/shop making room for the Pro Street. Hope to pick it up this weekend. In the meantime, I made some custom decals for it :)

Yes, very surprised by the deal he made me. Once in a lifetime for sure
