1972 Duster Build with my Daughter
Small victories today. Power Steering is functional, helps if you fill the fluid up all the way. Brakes are bled. Remembered I had a big plastic syringe that I filled with brake fluid then back injected it into the disk calipers then back into the master cylinder. That cleared the air. We have brakes. Put in 3 cans of R134a.... Things are not right but my cheap HF gauges are useless. Need to buy some Robinair gauges. Starter squeals as it coasts down after it starts. Need to pull it off and check it out. Windshield is in and the hack to make the '72 grill work with the '73 AC dryer is figured out and the grill is mocked in. Drum sanders to the back of the grill got it 1/2 there then I had to remove the bracket on the dryer and shape the lines to make it set back in as far as it can go. After that it fit. Now just need to restore it and fabricate a hanger for the dryer.
