72 Duster build - Pro touring slant six

Here's a couple shots from the weekend. I'm wanting to get the front end down another half inch or so but I'm sure that will cause some rubbing issues. But it's cruising nicely and has been a fun around the town cruiser. But definitely needs a little more power.

Also trying to decide on a stripe. Originally wanted to do a custom one along the T/A or AAR style but might just go with the stock stripe...But I also kinda like it without it. It's nice and clean without one but I think there is just too much green.

What's your current wheel opening height? I'm right around 25.5-26" at all 4 corners.

We have very similar suspension and brake setups. (I've upgraded to 13.75" front brakes and it has a Hotchkiss front bar on it since this photo was taken) I absolutely love how well this car handles. I'm sure your is a blast with the lighter weight/6.

FWIW, I've never been a fan of stripes/graphics from models that weren't originally offered with them. I'm not purist, as seen by my car, but a TA stripe doesn't look good on a Duster because the body lines are different. Obviously not my car, just my $.02. I like it the way it is without any stripe.
I also don't like when someone paints a pre-1970 car in high impact colors (like plum crazy or sublime), but that's my own mental problem....lol.
