didnt know you had a thread going until now...its looking good though!!!
our duster are going to look damn near the same between the color and the grill lol.
glad to see you went with the 69 valiant grill,good way to be different than the rest of the pack and being that its all metal, I personally think its a good choice durability wise .....and they look good too!.
Ill take your hood LOL Ive got a nice twin scoop set up but have always like the looks of the 6 pack hoods on the dusters....maybe one day Ill switch it up.
are you leaving the 73 bumpers or converting over to the 70-72 style? I think the 70-72 style would look best on it....and would fit in a little better with the new 70-71 rear panel and the new grill and hood. I have a 70-71 front bumper that I am not using but I think shipping might be a good chunk from MI to CA.
the tail panel doesnt look near as bad as what I was expecting from wht you were describing to me in my thread. it looks pretty good. Just make sure you get everything lined up good and pushed up into place nice and firm, throw a couple tack welds in it. then along the ends hammer the flanges flat against the backer metal and the n plug weld one of your holes,then hammer flat again,then plug weld the next,then hammer again etc...etc... and by the time you finish plug welding them all up it will look nice and flat and clean....and even if it doesnt look PERFECT.....remember its going to be hidden under filler/lead whatever you decide to use. as for the top half of the panel where the end seams are.....if you have any holes in it 9cant tell by pic) just do a little bit of bridge welding...take your time,grind it all nice and smooth and you should be fine. by the time you do your metal work,a little filler work,primer,spot putty,seam sealer....the panel would look like brand new. don't get discourage if it doesnt look just the way you would like right at this moment.
if you got any questions all you have to do is PM me man. looking good though! keep up the good work.
