1971 Plymouth Duster project

Almost finished with the engine, the only things missing at the moment are the waterpump and crankshaft pulleys. I got the AREngineering brackets for the Denso style alternator and it looks great. I still need to glue the water pump on its place, but I needed a couple of fresh bolts to do that.





I got also the front and back benches from a Finnish -73 Duster, this one to be exact:

That Duster has been a drag racing car for all of its life. Earlier it was mandatory to keep the original seats in the Prostock class and these benches have been in use for that time. There are cuts made in the drivers seat for the belts. Otherwise there has not been anyone sitting on these earlier. They are even heated seats.






Seems that the -73 seats fit the -71 perfectly :)
