73 duster restro mod

Yes, my whole theme on building car is modernization.. doing enough changes to body to give it a newer look, but not enough to take away from the duster look.

Between motor, suspension, body and interior mods, the duster should out perform and handle better than most of the newer cars out there...hopefully...lol

Cool ! I'll be watching this space.

Btw, about the firewall ; did you cut out the original piece and weld in flat steel, and what are your plans for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning ? Vintage Air ? I'm happy with my Vintage Air system.

The front seats may work, but remember the driveshaft & transmission tunnel of the A-body is offset slightly to the right, so there's less room for the right-side seat. From your pictures it seems the rear seat you've selected won't work. If I may be so bold as to suggest you widen the rear wheel wells now (for 10.5" wheels, but this also requires a switch away from cart-springs) and rework the original rear seat frame and have it professionally recovered to match the fronts ? This is what I did.
