Those are some cool photos!

Once I get it home I'll post up on it. Its a 64 Valiant that's in decent shape but has no drivetrain. So the plan is to get the slant out of the duster and make it better with EFI and some sort of boost to get it in the 300hp range (hopefully). Also want to minitub it and try to get 315's on the...

I actually just bought another a body that will most likely get the slant out of the duster. And it's definitely getting a turbo or a torqstorm supercharger.

You ditched the slant! Nooo! I can't blame you as they do need more power. But it's going to be sweet with the new motor.

Looking good! It's amazing what new carpet will do for the interior.

Looking good! The spoilers just look right on these cars. Did Dr. Diff change the brackets on those calipers? The ones I had did not have the same wear pattern.

Nice work! Car looks amazing as always.

Bummer the Duster didn't make it to the show. Next year we'll have to park em side by side for and take over the slant category. That 68 Charger looks awesome! The black and red stripe is one of my favorite combos.

Well that's a bummer. Would one of those stubby short sockets fit? Did the new wheels work out with the fitment issues?

That EFI setup is cool!

Awesome photo in front of the water!

Nope. It needs more than an 1/8" to clear with a 9" wheel unless you run an extreme amount of negative camber or raise it up. Also if you pushed it in it will just rub worse on the other side. With my 9" wheel it just barely touches the inside at full lock so another 1/8" will make it much...

Yeah I cut about 1/4" or so off and just rolled it slightly so if the tire ever hit, it wouldn't hit a sharp edge. No lowering blocks but it does have the hotchkis springs which brings it down about 2".

I've toyed around with the idea of a new cam and a little work on the head to improve flow and compression. It'll happen one day as I do like the slant. So if it doesn't go in this car, I'd like to get a 64 Valiant one day so maybe it'll go in that. Definitely needs another gear or two. I...

Love the look of those Rams. Yeah the slant is the perfect cruiser. It's quiet so you don't get the looks of having a loud car but still has the good looks.

Cars been running good lately. Not much has been changed as I've just been driving it but I did add and engine callout decal on the hood. Just wanted something to break up all the green as I ditched the side stripe ideas. Here's a few photos I took recently. Also with the rain lately I was...

I know I said it before but that is one of the best looking Duster's out there. Looks awesome in the autocross shots.

Thanks man! We all need to get the bay area cruises going again.

Oooofff! I did the same thing when I installed my wheels. Had to roll the lip over and trim the corner to clear. Wheels look great though! Car is looking good too!

Nice! What's the power at with the current motor?

Nice! Yeah I ran spacers for a while before swapping rears. I wasn't a fan of it but it worked. You can get a set of BBP axles for the 7.25 from Dr. diff. That might help out on the selection of wheels.

Looking good! What are you going with for wheels?

I ran at an Optima event in my charger a few years back and had issues with the car stalling out on the speed stop. Ran it about 20 times and it died on about 60% of the runs. I could sometimes feather it to keep it running but it with the big brakes it was tough. It was just an edelbrock carb...

Car looks amazing!!! It's awesome that you beat on all weekend without any major issues. And that it performs well on the autocross course and runs 12's while looking good is something to be proud of. You built one cool car!

Yeah I'm curious to see how much will end up in the can. I was pushing it hard (for a slant haha!) and was surprised how much got out of the old breather. So at least with the catch can it won't end up all over the valve cover. I also added a baffled grommet that seems to be helping as well but...

They did ask if I wanted to pick them up but it was easier to just ship them. They are about an hour away so to take time off work and sit in traffic wasn't worth it at the time.

There's something nice about having a simple cruiser. It definitely could use a little more power but its fun to putt around in. I do have a 440 that I'm building that will eventually go in it. But I'm still collecting parts so that will be way further down the line. It is surprising how many...

Got around to pulling the hood the other weekend and stripped the old paint off and gave it a new coat. Always had some rattles so I figured there was some junk in the gaps but turned out to have about 50 acorns stuffed inside. Damn pests! So it was a good thing to pull it. Also added in some...

Nice! Those should add some good grip. I have the RT615K's on another car and love em. So these should be even better. Are you building a custom serpentine setup or is it a kit(aside from adding the crank trigger)?

Thanks guys! Yeah I'm not too worried about the wear with these specs. I'm hoping too to get out on the autocross course. It won't be fast but should have plenty of grip! Thanks! Good eye but its just a replacement condenser for another car that got damaged. But I am kicking myself for not...
