So for the background on the duster. Father/son project that the kid ended up scattering the 7 1/4 in the car in 2002, and the car got parked….and sat until I purchased it. So far I’ve horse traded parts, flipped parts and I’ve spent a couple hundred bucks to make it run and drive. Now it has big bolt pattern disc up front, some used 90/10 Calvert shocks, a B body 8.75 with a 3.23 sure grip 489 center section.
I tossed a kit in the Holley, a new fuel pump and 6 out of the 8 plug wires got replaced. Had a new master cylinder on the shelf, and bought a conversion U joint (7260-7290) for it.
Had to the old wheels, tires, and lug nuts from my dart and some auto meter gauges laying around so I dressed the car up a bit. Progress is gonna be slow on this one since it’s strictly funded by flipping and horse trading parts, but it just goes to show you can still build a fun ratty beater on a shoe string budget.
Grand total is somewhere in the 16-1700 dollar range as it sits.
