Kevin just about finished the rear end this weekend. We're staying with the 10 inch drums on the rear and will go with a disc brake set-up for the front. I thought you all might like to see the latest batch of photos he sent me. Nice eye on detail Kev! Kevin said I may need to look...

Ken and Mike have been working on fitment. Here are some shots of the fenders and gaps. Mike says, "we grind the gaps and reweld them to make them perfect." They mud and straighten out the body to make sure it's "perfect" (Mike's word.) Mike also said, "there'll be so little mud on that car...

Thanx! More coming!

My brother, Kevin, has been making great progress with the differential rebuild. (Big shout-out Bro!) Here are some pictures he sent me. First, the carrier assembly: Kevin said he was happy with the gear pattern: Here it's bolted in: Kevin said he would put that in his car...

Mike has been busy blasting and powder coating. These look good in the pictures. They'll look even better once they're bolted on:

In Mike's shop, he's able to powder coat. Here's a unique Mopar Christmas tree: These pieces are in the oven: This project is really cookin'! Sorry, I just can't help myself sometimes... ;-)

Ken also had to do some repair on the upper fender. Mike covered the process nicely with this series of pictures. I'm always impressed with with Ken's work. When I was a kid, the only body work I got around was helping Dad pop rivet patches on our Valiant so it could pass Pennsylvania state...

More progress the past week or so. Here are some shots of the Notch with high build epoxy. Mike says, "this is going to seal the whole body up and give us some material to block." The trunk looks great! Since I'm staying with the original color of white, these pictures give me glimpses of...

Here are some shots of the driver's door repair: Swiss cheese is gone: Opening patched: I'll keep posting! :-)

Much has happened in the past few weeks - lot's of patching and dent pulling. Here are some the repairs: door edge repair: trunk edge repair: Trunk dent pull. Years ago, somebody gave the lid an extra slam! I'll upload more pics soon.

Ken's made some nice progress with the Notch. After tracking down the sheet metal, Ken's been cutting away and patching. The rotted well is out and the new one is in! Trunk extensions and quarter patches were next. Here's a pic of some old damage to the Notch. Mike said some dolly work...

Hi -I'm interested in your poverty caps. What's the shipping to Maryland (20707)? Thanx, Gary

Ken got the car from the blaster today! It will need some sheet metal but Mike said it's not too bad. He said, "Actually, it's pretty nice." The floor pans look good with only a few rust spots. It will need front and rear fender patches and a tire well. Below are a few pictures of the blasted...

As an fyi, here are a a few pics of the Fish going to the blaster the other week. Keeping our fingers crossed as to rust surprises... Road trip for body parts. Boxed up for the blaster. While at the blaster, Ken and Mike prepped a pair of inner fenders that I scored from Baltimore...

Ken dropped the engine and drivetrain the day we left Ohio. The coupe went on the rotisserie for prepping to the blaster. Mopar Mike said he and Ken don't mess around (not exactly his words). I agree. Ken's power-spraying the underside. That's a factory undercoating. Mike said it was thick -...

Thanks FABO members for your comments and support. I thought I would post some more pics of the Notch before the dismantle. Here's a better shot of the dash and interior. The inside door still had service sticker from 1976. The striker post is in good shape. I thought folks might like...

Greetings everyone! I’m starting this new thread at the encouragement of my brother, Kevin. Ever since I can remember, our family nearly always drove Chrysler products. One of my favorite cars as a kid was a second cousin’s 1967 Barracuda coupe. She got it new as a high school graduation...

Yes. We had to navigate around an active hornet's nest too before we could remove that seat. Glad it found a good home!

Kevin, the picture of car lot and Dad’s check for the car brought back some great memories. I’m sure folks have lots of similar stories but the Duster’s tales are certainly ingrained in our family lore. We almost didn’t have the Duster. Dad and I went out to a used car dealer in Leola, PA to...

Nice job, Bro! Dad would be quite proud!

Lookin' good, Kev.

Good bro! Let's hope this is the charm. Glad to know the frame was to specs. Keep us posted.

Dang! What an odyssey bro! Sorry to learn of the newest installment... A lot of heartbreak to get the old girl going again.

lol Good one JDMopar! Hang in there 'bro!

Looks like factory fresh! Nice job!

Bare bones indeed! Looks like progress!

Congrats on the re-build!!!!
