1971 Plymouth Duster project
Thanks for asking :) The project is proceeding, slowly but steadily...
The driver side floor pan is now fixed as well as the small extra holes.
The front floor is painted with POR15.
I have put the car back on its wheels, so the frontend suspension and steering is all back together.
I decided to go for Borgeson steering box and so far so good. I changed the steering column bearing to more robust solution too.
The steering column is from floor shifter a-body and I changed also the ignition switch while at it. I refurbished the gauge cluster with new gauges and got the carbon fiber look to it. For the speedo I ordered the white label to it.
Lately I've been working with this passenger side door, which has been beat up pretty good...
After hammering it for one day, I got to this point. Pretty smooth now, nothing that bondo cannot hide. Still some dents, but after another day of hammering it should be ready :)
Some testing of the hood and fan. Still a lot of work, but perhaps runs next summer...
The plan is to get the brakes done next and after that I can plant the engine on its place and start working with the exhaust. I still haven't done anything for the transmission. I just yesterday got my Black Friday order from the mail, the side exhaust pipes. I haven't opened the box yet, but I'll post an update of those soon.
