1973 Duster Build

-
Welcome home, thank you for what you do that helps keep our country and old fs like me safe.
Alright, back to the build...
 
Man I like the way the grill turned out. Bumpers getting some bodywork before paint. Test fender for the metal flake treatment getting prepped. Little 360 on the way to a test fire.

Could you please share rear wheel backspace? Also are the wheels 15×10 or 15x8? I really want to know since I have a dart sport with same rear end. Thanks in advance!
 
I can tell you those are not stock ralleye wheels. Just drove out of town for a few weeks but I can dig into it for you when I get home!
 
That was a custom Flake I ordered on line mixed in with DuPont clear over base coat. I’d have to go back and see who made that
 
Now for the detail stuff. Looking for a matching passenger mirror versus just getting all new. Need one rear tail panel emblem.

Looks like you found an intake....lol. I tried another one for you 2 or 3 weeks ago, and missed it by 2 minutes! :BangHead: Looks good.....hope it runs as good as it looks!
 
She ought to be a nice motor for someone. Maybe someone looking for a 67 motor for an old Belvedere or Coronet.

Duster is wired, lights work, seatbelts in....
 
Ok. Need a set of trim rings for a 15 inch rim for the back. She is done. Hot heat, cold AC. Shifts snappy enough to make your neck hurt. Waiting on new emblems.

Found some trim rings and they made it in today. Duster emblems on the way. Got a nice little 318 going together soon.

Any specs on backspace for the rear wheels? Love how they come almost flush to rear quarter opening! 15x8 or 15x7?
