Lol Sadly that bear fur is long gone to the land fill.

Update, small but none the less it's an update. I finally got around to cleaning my instrument cluster and I also documented the rust and general body damage to this thing. I needed to document it so I couldn't ignore the fact that it is there. Finished product. Here's all the rust and...

Hey, so far the dash cap is great and it fit really well. I had to trim a bit of the old foam and vinyl to make it fit and had to clamp it in a couple places to get the rtv to stick to the pad and the cap but I would definitely buy another one for future builds.

Well I haven't had a ton of time to work on the Duster lately but I did get the steering column rebuilt and a new ignition switch installed on it. I also bought a dash cap and a carpet kit that I can install when I get the floor fixed. Parts!!! Column in fresh paint Before After...

Ugly Flip Top Gas Cap. Picked this thing up at a local swap meet. It's not in the best shape but it's still functioning. Some issues on the inner lip, looks like someone tried to weld it at some point. $25 Ships from Oregon City, Oregon PayPal excepted Pm me

67 Valiant grill. Complete with center piece and emblem. I will not separate the pieces, this is a buy it all or nothing sort of deal. These are driver quality, not show quality. $125 Ships from Oregon City, Oregon PayPal excepted Pm me if interested.

Well I've managed to eliminate most of the funky smell from the car, I think most of the smell was in the seats. Now I'm turning my focus to the dash and steering column. Somehow I'm going to have to fix this hack job, it's going to put my welding skills to the test. I also got the dash pad off...

Well it is pretty solid I didn't put the pictures of the rusty quarters or lower fender rust. But over all she is solid as a rock. From what I gather it was in a barn for most of its life, not sure that's totally true or not but I'm inclined to believe it. The thing that amazes me about it is...

So some of you may know me from my 68 Valiant project that I posted here a while back. Well long story short is the Valiant went back to my dad and is staying in the family and I acquired a blank slate of a Duster. The reason I'm calling this my second chance is because my very first car was a...

Looking for a 67 Valiant lower grill filler piece. It's the one that surrounds the turn signal lights and buts up to the bottom of the middle grill with the emblem in it. PM Me if you have one. Also I'm located in Portland OR. Thanks.

Here's a couple pictures of my Valiant at the Mopar Nats in Woodburn this last weekend. Had a great time driving down and back getting the car on the road for the first time. And last my dads 440 dart in the staging lanes with a front engine rail behind him.

Got her out of the garage today. Had my two girls help me wash it, they had waited a long time to ride in the Valiant. After a couple laps through my neighborhood, small burnout included I picked up my wife from the house at which point the Valiant ran out of gas, go figure:)

Thanks bro! I couldn't have done it without your help. Hopefully going to make it to a show and shine Sunday. Should have more pics and stuff tomorrow after wash and detail.

Well..... I couldn't be patient and wait to start it up. Started and broke it in today on my lunch break. Everything went really well, three small leaks to track down but other than that it's alive. I'm super excited to have it running after so much frustration and work. Now I have to work the...

Well got the valiant to fire last Saturday, with all the time I've spent trying to figure why it wasn't starting it turns out my timing was 180 degrees off. Felt like a complete goober for letting something so trivial get the better of me. Carb started to leak at the transfer tube as soon as it...
