Drive through Milwaukee County sometime. At least 1 in 5 of the cars on the road have expired registration, some more than 2 years! You think they have auto insurance as well? Deadbeats don't have to - we subsidize with the uninsured motorist coverage on our policies plus when a real bad wreck...

From the pics it looks as though the body is pretty decent although there are trouble areas that don't present themselves unless close inspection. The rot above the windshield would dictate a possible long term water leaks that affect the cowl sides and may already be underway in rotting the...

Yeah, that's kind of surprising that no one snatched those up yet at this late date. Sweet. What's the criteria for the collector plates as far as mods go? I've seen plenty of muscle cars with them that are certainly not stock. Not full blown pro streeters though, maybe more like "day two"...

As we sunset into our later years it's your body or your brain - pick one. My 81 yo mom has Alzheimer's. It's been difficult to see her go from a vital, strong super woman to a person who can't remember what day it is. It seemed to us like the transformation took place over a short span of...

After you park and shut off the engine, you put the the gear into reverse and it locks the steering column. Beginning in '71 or '72, Chrysler stick cars incorporated a much simpler column lock configuration inside the column which did away with the external interlock rods. The bell bracket...

The machined area on the bellhousing (circled) is the correct mounting area for the bracket. That shaft bracket also does not appear correct for an A body. The frame bracket (circled) is backwards. It should turned around (horizontally). Jim's Dart was the photo I tried to upload. You'll just...

Way cool Brad. A moment in time I'd treasure forever. That whole magical 60's hot rod art genre was the brainchild of Ed Roth that continues to inspire today. Truly a pioneer of the airbrushed t-shirt and custom car culture. Just to spread around a little credit where credit is due. Ed...

Thank you for the kind words Leanna.:wave: Earthmover, I can quote you out on some screen printed tees. I believe there are a couple other members on Fabo printin' cotton as well.:cheers:

Hi Wayne. Nice chattin' about 70 Dusters with you at the WMMC kick-off banquet last week. Don't know if I'll make the World Of Wheels show but I'm sure I'll see you and your Duster at the WMMC shows this year. Tim

CRC, the border is a raised edge or 'lip' if you will. I've thought about a decal die cut to size and placed within the lip. It would not lay completely flat though because The 'VALIANT' letters are raised or embossed creating an uneven surface. Studying the emblem, it originally appears that...

I believe repro 70-71 Duster tail light assemblies were just introduced late last year. A full factory torsion bar crossmember would be nice for the resto guys. AMD offers one for B's and one for E's. An A-body crossmember would be their next logical offering. Though it's not too difficult...

I don't think the term unpopular applies to the A Body. The A Body generally out sold any of Chrysler's other models in most given years, easily reaching six figure production numbers. Granted most of those units were the garden variety slantys and 318's but there is no denying the A's styling...

I've used the inexpensive Rustoleum 2 part Epoxy with excellent results. Going on six years on a 20 year old concrete garage floor, complete with pits, cracks and numerous oil and paint stains. I'm quite abusive to the floor - dragging jack stands, rolling floor jacks, dropping tools, dragging...

Car was only 12 years old when you acquired it. Even if it was 28 years ago, maybe there is a previous owner or two indicated on surviving paperwork that you can track down for additional history on it as well. It's a long shot but occasionally, "back in the day" photos may surface as well as...

Good lookin' 70 H-code there and a reasonable price but I would use caution bidding on this one. Fender tag indicates FY1 (Lemon Twist) but the supposedly original window sticker says V2 (Hemi Orange).:roll:

With this particular Duster, I would agree that it would have to touch the 30's again to maintain it's BJ-ness but I'm not sure about 38k, as previously sold. But it's still a nice 3 pedal H code and they aren't rollin' out of Hamtramck anymore. Indeed, decent paint jobs these days cost an arm...

Well, an "authentic" restoration it is not. '71 paint scheme, painted dual mirrors, exhaust tips, incorrect battery. I'm stunned it reached the drunken price of 38k last year. If it hasn't sold already, I would guess a more realistic 18-22k range, depending on condition. The FC7 '71 4 speed...

Low poster here as well. I'll occasionally check the main pages at lunch hour. By the time I see a topic that I can contribute to, it's already handled, usually by someone with way more useful knowledge than me about said topic. I guess I do more reading than posting. I do feel a tad guilty...

Thanks for the pics Whitey for those of us that couldn't be there.:thumbup: Any 70 Duster 340's or 70 Swinger 340's in the dealership display?

Depending on how far you want to take it BTOB, AMD makes a complete door jam pillar for A Bodies. http://www.autometaldirect.com/ListItems/SubCategory/Quarter/Door%20Jamb%20Pillar.aspx

This forum is a wealth of real time info for A-Bodies, a factory service manual is indispensable, and the Dodge Dart & Plymouth Duster Musclecar Color History book by Steve Statham is good although a bit brief.

Nice job Leanna. Looks like a fun project. I have absolutely zero experience with powder coating but I do know a thing or three about color hue, value and chroma as it applies to reproduction and rendering. Maybe it's the photos but the purple appears kind of muddy. I do understand the basis of...

70 Duster 340: Radio - thumbwheel type. Turndown Exhaust tailpipes - no chrome tips. no dual body color Rallye mirrors, just a single, drivers side chrome, and offered late, dual chrome mirrors. Light argent colored 10 hole Rallye wheel centers. 340 came with a Carter AVS Four Barrel carb...

A51 is the fender tag code for the 71-74 Duster Twister package. Incidentally, A59 is the code for the 71-72 Demon Sizzler package, the counterpart to the Plymouth's Twister.

I miss the old breakfast cereals: Kaboom, Crispy Critters, Quake, Puffa Puffa Rice. They just don't make cereal like they used to. Cap'n Crunch tastes like petrified Cardboard nuggets.:pukerigh:

Super nice but not at that crack pipe price. I could live with those seats though, loud as they are. The hood stripe treatment looks odd. The spacing down the center between the blocks is a bit wide.

Nice score. I love the first gen regular cab 4x4's

Welcome to the site Kim.

Big Star are often overlooked but they produced some of the finest 70's power pop. RIP Mr Chilton. Here is a couple off their first album, 1972's #1 Record (great album) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYoMigYHkM4

Hoist ye a pint of ale and be quick about it laddy!:toothy10:
