Page 68. I sold my Duster to HEMI Fred a few years ago. He took it to one of the major Mopar car shows (I don't remember which one), and one of the writers from MA came up to him, and asked if he could take some pictures. That was almost 2 years ago. A few months ago, the writer contacted me...

Wow, Dartblower! You are lucky you didn't slide on the water and crash! You must be making a lot of boost! You need to buy better quality aluminum heads.

You're doing a great job! Been there, done that, so I know how much work it takes. One thing I would suggest (if you hadn't already planned it, is once you have the main part of the cage tacked together, to cut holes in the floor and drop the cage through, so you can more easily weld those top...

Fred, call this number. 1-888-473-5855 This company is the only one that I know of that reproduces the tail light bezels for 73-76 Dusters.

I received an offer to join about 6 months ago. I did an internet search, and sure enough, a lot of people got burned by it. It IS a scam. Stay away.

Is this wide enough?

I originally built my Duster with a 440. Visit my website, maybe it'll generate some ideas for your Duster. www.hemiduster.com

Awesome!! Congrats!!! That baby is better than factory fresh! You did an outstanding job on it! Don't worry about the correct battery, get the brakes done and take her for a ride!! Take it from me, that first drive will be the biggest thrill of your life!! You'll have a smile on your face...

It never looked that good when it was new, that's for damn sure! Great job!:cheers:

Do you want the absolute easiest solution? Well, here it is: Use polyurethane bushings, and leave the sleeves in place!! The polyurethane bushings come with a special grease so they don't squeak, and are lightly pressed into place. Done!!

I hope you have fabrication skills, and you're not the kind of person that gets upset if parts don't fit perfectly. The first time you attempt to drop that HEMI in, you'll say to yourself, "There's no way this is going to fit! It's hitting everywhere!" :toothy10:

Looks ready for paint! :toothy10:

I believe all Duster front and rear glass is the same. As mentioned, lots of soapy water helps. Your old "not as flexible as new" gasket is making the job more challenging. Just so we're clear, you should have the gasket glued into position before installing the glass.

I've never taken out the back glass before. Doses the gasket have a locking strip like the front windshield gasket? If so, you pulled it out, right?
