The Great Pumpkin - '71 Duster

Thanks guys, it's been fun. My one wish is to have a solid couple of days without any obligations where I could just be in the garage and working. Rugrats really have a way of cutting into me time. :banghead:

Anyway, the hope was to have it up and running for Mopars at E Town at the end of the month but that does not look promising. The wiring took a lot of time and and it's still not done. I actually stopped the wiring project down for a bit, it was getting a little monotonous.

And just to make more work for myself, I added more things to the list - a new trans pan and cooler set up. The old cooler lines leaked badly and I think the trans was overfilled. I am working on mounting the trans cooler right now.

I'm also looking into an aluminum radiator. I never realized how heavy those OE radiators are. The one in the car was a 26" core that they made to fit. (nothing was cut, just drilled some holes and used spacers) I hadda take it out to do the trans cooler and when I lifted it out I almost wrenched my back. An aluminum rad would fall in line with my weight savings plan so I just need to decide if its worth the price.

I will try to post up pics soon, just have to charge the camera and download them to my laptop.
