1972 Duster Build with my Daughter

Never fear we spent the holidays in New Mexico to keep my mom occupied on the second holiday and birthday since my dad passed away. It has also been "winter" here and it is snowing and cold out, very little enthusiasm to work in a 50 degree garage. We have accumulated a lot of parts over the last 2 weeks so it is just getting time, energy and warm enough weather to start working. What is coming up: Finish rebuilding the starter, alternator and wiper motor. Headliner conversion came in for CI (it is a ACME bow conversion to make '72-'73 cars bow headliners like the '70-'71s were). Fuel tank, fuel pump, water pump and missing brackets are in. The engine had a bit of an oops when we were on vacation so it is delayed a few weeks (should get it week after next). The Wiseco pistons will not work with the stock rods..... no one noticed it before it was going together. New rods are here and they need to go to Tucson with the crank to get rebalanced. After that it is just reassembly.
