There's got to be plenty of shops in the Denver area that would be a lot more reasonable. Seems like it should be around $4K at most. That's what I paid for a PPG pearl paint job in CA that included everything your guy quoted.

Wow! This car is going to be awesome! The more I watch this thread, the more I want to paint mine the same color.

I only have subframe connectors in my Duster, and that made a big difference. With just those, the front end come up perfectly even on a good launch. I made them out of 2" X 4" (I think, might have been X 3") rectangular tubing.

I don't think the carbon fiber look fits the car. Stick with the satin black.

I think I'm going to go with that color on my Duster whenever I get the time and money. It's looking really good so far.

What are those clips called that are holding the QP on? I'll need some of those when I replace mine.

That's pretty much what I did to mine, but I also took them apart and cut the rod off on the inside. Then I drilled and tapped some holes and put bolts in once I got it pushed in to where I wanted it. It's still a little wider than the earlier bumpers, so it still looks funny. I also cut most of...

The 72 bumpers don't have those huge, heavy shock impact absorbers that are shown in the last pic you posted on post #24. There's also the huge steel reinforcement that sits inside the bumper that you may not have seen yet; the 72 does not have that, either. Together, all of that is probably...

Looks good

Cool build

Good to see you back in work on it.

I like the Valiant grill on it. I might just have to find me one of those.

Looking good. Glad you got back on it. We need to have a talk about the KIA "project."

Glad everything made it there ok. I was just wondering the other day if the wheels ever made it. They look good on it. I scored those in about '98 or '99 on ebay when there were still good deals. They were still in the boxes and had the wax coating they put on them when they packaged them...

If you're willing to drive over to Indio, take it to Brian at IMM Engines. His prices are reasonable, and he won't try to push you to get anything you don't need. He's done quite a few small blocks in the 5-600 HP range, including mine.

Well if that doesn't motivate you, I don't know what will. Cruisin' Grand is right around the corner. I'll only be able to make it the first couple months.

Can't believe I've never seen this thread before. SWEET car!!

Wish I could see the pics. I'm at work, so only see red x's. I'll check it out when I get home.

Looks and sounds awesome!

I remember pulling my 318 and trans, putting them back in, pulling my 318, putting in the stroker, pulling the stroker, putting in the 318, and finally pulling the 318 and putting the stroker back in. All of it was 2010. No pics, just some with the stroker in...both times.

It won't be in the 50" range. More like the 46-48" range with a 727. Best way is to measure, but I'm sure someone has the same combo and can say for sure.

Where did that hood come from? looks like a Chevy cowl induction scoop grafted on.

That paint job is nice! Like the colors and the pearl in it. I'm thinking of a similar paint scheme, but with burnt orange in place of the blue and reversing the black and silver.

You just can't put a price on that kind of skill and labor.

Never seen one of those. I've seen a few of the convertible ones from '87 or '88. Used to have an '88 (not convertible)

Happy anniversary!!

Hey, looking good, and congratulations on the Anniversary! You picked a good day to get married...my birthday.

You have some amazing metal working skills. Most people in the U.S. wouldn't even attempt to put the effort into a car with that much rust, especially an A body. Great job!

Can't wait to see where this goes.

Lookin good!
