1972 Duster Project - Back From The Pasture
Thanks all, I figured this thread was dead. I mainly come over to A Bodies these days to follow Kueneman's build with his daughter. That one will be a 72 from hell. Jim is doing a fantastic job.
There are still a few things that bug me about our 72. Hairlip in the grill (new one on back order from CI until god knows when), driver side door adjustment still haunting me, a few flaws in the paint I don't like but what the hell, it's a driver for a high school senior and he is digging every minute of it.
Santa hooked JR up with a new set of headlight bezels from OER and a Tach. We slammed the tach in this morning. Waiting on the grill before we install the bezels. We will take it on a short road trip tomorrow to help seat the old rings. Oil use has dropped way down since we fired it. We figure a good stretch of the legs on the highway will do the original 72 power plant some good. Pulls damn strong.
