Dash Fire Duster Rebuild
These pictures were all taken in November and December of last year and mark the highlights of what I was working on. This was installing the green bearings in the axles and figuring out the wheels and tires I wanted to run. So as you noticed it has the Rallys up front in all the pics, that is because of B body rear and it was a small bolt pattern car, so another reason I went to 73 disc brake upgrade route. Oh, those are 14” trailer wheels and tires I had laying around because the seller needed the ones he had on the car back. And as for the wheels they are knock offs of the Pro Stars. Goal is to keep the car somewhat nostalgic because well, I want the full experience of a vintage Mopar muscle car.
Also you can see I am learning valuable reliability information... yes that is my truck jumping the car. It is called self recovery, which is possible when all you are doing is circling the block in your subdivision... logged 15 miles on the odometer during this time... and was barely winning lol. By this time I had installed my new Poly Loc motor mounts, and changed the tune on the carb, progress.
Behind the scenes I was buying tons of parts to begin the rebuild.
