my '72 Duster
update (first a few of the pics I've posted elsewhere):
so in quick summary (stuff that readily comes to mind, anyways lol): new SS springs, converted to manual steering, new floor pans and some quarter patches, replaced k-member, new balljoints, put the sharktooth in, a '79 360 mated to the original 727 into 4.10 8 3/4 SG, new dashpad, a ton of bodywork, replaced the interior and exterior parts I had on my Scamp.
Still need the front bumper replaced or repaired, some wiring to do (horn and backup lights not working yet), replacing front shocks right away (might need to get a new steering box too- the one we stuck in there is pretty loose).
edit- got the new front shocks in after work today, haven't test-driven it yet. It has a bad wander going over bumps at highway speeds, I'm hoping the shocks help- or it's steering box time (everything else is good under there, the box has a bit of slop though.
Would like to put some bigger rubber out back...a few other odds and ends that aren't coming to me right now.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with the results:)
