Hey everyone, I don't know why I didn't post this when I got it but I bought a 70 Duster back in December of 2018. It was a roller and needed work before being ready for the road. I'll post pictures later but it came from the factory as a slant 6 auto car and I'm not sure weather it started life with the 8 3/4 rear it has now or not. I plant on dropping a high performance 318 I've built into it and pairing with an A833OD trans with a 3.91 sure grip rear gear. Should be fun.
 
The reason its name is Nasty is because if you zoom in on the right rear tail light, next to it is a badge that looks to say "nasty" in cursive, probably said "dynasty" at one point

Back in April I cut out the rusted driver floor, both quarter panels, and the trunk extensions and replaced them, also added a 4 speed trans tunnel.

As of late June I got around to test fitting my 318 in Nasty and I'd say it's a good thing too, turns out the engine is a bit too tall for the flat hood that I have and planned on replacing it in the future anyways. Any suggestions on hoods with scoops? I liked the SRT or AAR style hoods that I've seen a few pictures of but cant find any currently for sale.

Recently got both front fenders from AMD and installed them, not too many fitment issues, considering if I want to put the fender mounted turn signals on like the old ones had.

Looks good.

That "paint" on the fenders aint paint. Its just to keep rhem from rusting. It.needs to be removed before you lay paint.

Second. Hardline from the fuel pump. That much soft line is ehhh....

Third. Throw that glass filter in the trash and use a plastic or billet one before it vibrates into the block and burns your baby down.

I intend to get it painted B3 blue, also the fuel filter is a plastic lense, and lastly I plan on running new hardlines to the fuel pump and all brake lines by the time it hits the road.
