Hi everyone, I'm new to a bodies, but I'm not new to toys. My fiance just bought me a '72 440 Duster for my wedding present and I figured I'd check this place out for any questions I had.

Here's some pics, let me know what you think, I'd say she did a great job :-D

Awesome combo Duster/Jeep. No messing around with the torque bar. Dig the gauge set up.

Welcome to FABO and to the love of A Bodies! Your wife to be is going to make lots of points around here LOL!

And those valve covers sure look familiar. I knew they were up for sale awhile back but never knew what became of them. Until tonight. :-D (There's more pics of them on my website gallery.)

Enjoy the car and your new second home. You're going to love them both.

Yup, she picked it up a few months ago from Craigslist. So far its been a good toy, the brake warning light on the dash came on this weekend and I can't figure out why though.

thanks everyone!!
