71 V24 Duster
Just a heads up this thread may end up being a couple years old. I have owned this car for 1.5 years and was waiting to start on it until I finished my 72. My 72 is finishedish and I want to be able to race both cars next season. I plan to do a complete rotisserie rebuild on the 71 after racing it for two seasons (was a race car previously). I painted and put a hood on it and have patched up the inner fenders where they were cut for fender well headers back in the day. I will rebuild the front end, tie the frame and then put the 422/727 in to race it for the next two seasons before taking it all back apart for the actual rebuild. The car will get a new full floor pan (not rusty but holes cut in it in several locations for different shifters throughout the years. Trunk pan and both quarters. This is a factory V24 FJ6 with a black vinyl top and white stripe. Very cool car that deserves a total resto. Some photos to show the progress I’ve made so far. Also I will completely replace the inner fenders when I do the resto. I have all the AMD sheet metal for when the time comes stored in my shop.
