1972 Duster Build with my Daughter
Once I got home we got busy! Kaelyn finished welding in and grinding out the bumper bracket patch while I removed the radiator support sides from the Dart top cross bar. This way the Duster will have the right VIN on the cross bar. The right side radiator support is tacked in before removing the inner fender so the cross support stays in position in 3D. You can see the difference in width. Bob at GlenRay has a set of '73 tanks that are the right part number for a 26" '73 Dart so he will be building up that radiator for the Duster. After than we got the cut up inner fender out we used Aircraft Stripper to start stripping the engine bay. The more I see the B1 blue the more I like it. Lastly we got the LH shock support welded up after someone started to cut it off to reposition for the BB. We are ready for reassembly!
