So when I brought my 72' Duster home, it came with a whole crap load of parts. Two milk crates full of smaller stuff. For the most part, it was junk old take off stuff. But some of it might be of value to somebody as I don't know what some of it is and more than likely won't have a use for it...

So the core support the guy has is out of a 73' Duster. For the upper and lower, I've got him down to $150 for the pair. Still seems a little steep for me especially since it's basically going to be used for a guide to build the tubular support. Maybe I should just start looking for a jig...

This particular core support wouldn't be considered 'good stuff' at all. It's rusted to hell and I'd basically just be using it as a stencil for the tubular core support I'd like to build. And yes, all of the repairs on all of my vehicles are done by me. I think even if I made a lot more...

Been a little while since I posted here. Haven't had much to say about the Duster I guess. Everything checked out with the plumb bob, so atleast I'm good to go from that stand point. Now trying to get an idea together for a tubular core support. There's a guy local that has a core support...

Definitely not a bad idea. Especially considering I've got nothing but time and right now, no budget lol

Yeah, once the wife allows funds to start going towards the Duster (Probably about 10 years from now lol), one of the first things is going to be the k member. As stated, turning radius doesn't need to be sharp. This thing might see a little street time if there's ever a show near our house...

I'm on a lot of forums and groups and see a lot of trash talk about peoples projects so I get a bit defensive around certain comments. No harm no foul. Next time I'm in the garage I'll get some more pics of the four link setup. The k-member really does make the front end look worse than it is...

I am a weekend warrior. I don't need it to cert. Most of my racing is an outlaw class anyway. There's no structural damage, just surface rust on the cage/chassis. The k-member is the worst piece and will be getting changed out before the car ever sees a track. Thanks for your not so helpful...

It will be getting an aftermarket k-member down the road. Right now it is literally just to roll the car in and out of the garage as need be.

So a while back, a co-worker of mine at Les Schwab told me about a buddy of his that had this car sitting under a car port. It'd been there for years because the guys brother bought it, got drunk one night, tore it apart to blast/paint everything, and stopped at the blasting part. No paint, no...

Looks like a nice piece for the price. It doesn't specify on their website, so the answer is probably no, but does it have provisions for a Mustang II rack? I saw the sway bar provisions, and they look to be right about where the rack would mount so I'm just curious.

That was two+ years ago now. I may still have the slip somewhere around here. Life happened for a year but now it's got a new tank, new 1/2" line, pre-filter, rebuilt the Carter 172 pump, rebuilt the Proform 750 carb, new 1/2" post filter...Should have no more fuel issues. Hopefully!

LOL Not quite. Just an iron headed 11:1 SBC. Haven't gotten it dialed in completely. First outing it spun at the line for a horrid 1.8x 60' and ran out of fuel at 3/4 track but still managed to coast to a 12.3 @ 103mph.

The mild 440 will only be to get a feel for the car and get the suspension setup. Once the car is dialed with the mild 440 in it, the high dollar 543 build will start. That's why I want to keep the first 440 build to a minimum cost wise. Hell, as light as this thing is, it'll be in the high...

Thanks for the welcome so far everybody! I'll have lots of questions, that's for sure! Looking forward to learning a lot though. This thing is way cool and I can't wait to have it home tomorrow!
