I remember when you first posted about this after you got it. Looks like you did a pretty good job. I see you opted not to go with the roll bar? Dude, C'Mon! Nothing says 70's Baja Truck like a roll bar with about 4 Hella's on it!

The green cars rot had rot! It was "rescued" from a wooded area where it had sat (and sank) for the past 20 years. They had to cut trees down just to get it out! Plus it took four mules and a little boy to pull it out of the ground.

Alot went on over the winter. Unfortunately it wasn't on Project Deeds! But lady luck has smiled on us and I was able to work out a deal with a co-worker of mine who co-owns New Covenant Performance (ncperformanceinc.com (Check them out! (That was my cheap, shameless plug for their shop.)...

Wow! I wish all my projects started out in the shape this one is in! Perhaps some one here can help you out with that crimped up piece of trunk trim that has a notch jabbed in it?

SWEET! Can't go wrong with the Eddy Carb! Alot of people dislike them, but they are simple and work good!

After you retire from the military you should open a body shop. Seriously. You have some mad skills!

I just discovered my 32K original mile '73 Olds Cutlass Supreme has developed a bad case of rust on the passenger side rear wheel well (unknown to me as it was in storage). After the initial shock and the disappointing fact that re-pop panels are not available for this specific car I was...

See!!! Now, she is a HOT MOPAR BABE! Or, she has been one all along and we just didn't know because she was on that KZ-14 with that Chally in the background. Tell your wife she is a good sport!

DAMN! Wish I could find them like that in Illinois. Looks like your major work is going to be interior.

Who cares about the motor and what not in the enormous box unless the wifey is posing with it? LOL!

That tank is AWESOME!!!! What's the clearance between the frame rails and the tank? Hard to tell in the pic, but I was guessing it looked like about 3" on each side? If you come up with a hydaulic trunk lift idea let me know. The dumba$$ that put the mini tubs in my sons '73 Duster cut the...

Damn! Looks like it grew there!

Very nice! And it's not even back together yet.

I've heard that the noisy gear drives cause too much harmonic distortion/vibration (or something like that) to the crank and cam. Anyone ever hear that?

76orangewagon......It's guys like you that take a POS and do the Voodoo that you do and turn that POS into a Masterpiece! When I first saw this thread my thought was "WOW! I hope he knows what he's getting into!" Well obviously you do! The work and craftsmanship that you have done is amazing! I...

Awesome work! You have my full attention!

Last two pics.

Pics update! Front end is rebuilt! I am ASTONISHED at what a difference there is from old to new. Just bouncing the front end by hand and you actually feel resistance unlike the old worn out front end that you could bounce easily. Total cost for front end parts, POR15 products and...

From last Sunday and this Sunday. Blasting, priming, welding. Last pic is of my grandmother posing by her grandsons project. She had a '73 340 /auto car. I remember it like it was yesterday and so does she!

We're sharing garage space with my brothers '67 Cuda. When we need to prime and paint the Cuda will come out and the Duster will go in. We're lucky for that!

Removed the K member Saturday. Found a few issues we will have to address, but for a car this old (and in Illinois) the front clip isn't in bad shape at all. Also decided to just go ahead and blast the front clip now and do the repairs, primer, and paint. Finally we are getting somewhere on this...

I see you have done all your stripping with a wheel. Nothing wrong with that, it's just alot of hard work! I made my son take a look at your pics because he is crying about stripping the engine compartment of his Duster project with chemicals and elbow grease. His comment after seeing your last...

This is what we did today. (And when I say "we" I refer to my brother and myself. My son had a football fund raiser today that he couldn't miss.) The area underneath the battery tray. Most all of you have seen or experienced the rot that happens in that area. In this case Project Deeds wasn't...

Media blasting the frame rail underneath where the battery mounted tomorrow. Pic's to come.

I realize that it's been awhile, but it has been crazy around here. We have very few parts left to scavenge off the parts car. Mostly stuff that is being stubborn like the attaching hardware that is rusty like the passenger pop out window screws. But we have FINALLY been able to move our...

That portion (decision) of the project is up in the air at this time :argue:. However, we are going to scavenge the 4spd goodies (pedals, hump, Z bar, etc...) and set them aside. My son wants the black car to be a 4spd. We will see. We can't find an a833 or a 727 at this time.

Hindsight being what it is, I am SO glad that my sons project car started out by us scavenging a parts car to the bones. He is learning alot, as am I (that's the perfect father / son project!). We still have alot to get off of the parts car. I need to buy one of those spotweld bits so I can...

That is EXACTLY what he has in mind. Nice looking car.

The first one (the black one) IS the project. The second one (the green one) is a parts car.
