Rocker's 1973 Duster "Clara"

So recently I started catching upon this season for both Fast N Loud and Graveyard Carz (Yeah I like ‘em)…Well For some reason I got all motivated and stuff, and about mid March I returned to the garage.

I decided I was going to restore my steering column first. I took my original column, and one I had purchased (with the automatic nub removed), and combined parts to create one perfect steering column.

Teardown begins.


Trying to find an affordable solution for the factory suede paint. Rustoleum satin textured black is close enough for me and looks really sick!


All parts and hardware restored and ready for assembly.


As I mentioned in the beginning, the car was pretty much spray bombed black inside and under the hood, so I love the contrast of part colors. I chose the orange repop coupler seal over the oem black because of this.



All done!


Oh I also knocked the e-brake handle out too!




I am currently working on finishing the A/C heaterbox (which should have been done months ago. FWIW...Detroit Muscle Technologies (DMT) makes an amazing product, backed by great customer service!
