24 more days until retirement and once I sell the Riverside house, I'll be in Kingman full time. I definitely will not miss the People's Republic of Hellifornia.

You can say that again, I've been running back and forth between Kingman and Riverside 2 or 3 times a month for the past year and if your not prepared to run at 90, you'd better stay in the right lane.

He should have taken all the pictures with the cover on. BTW, describing that as just ugly does a disservice to the word.

Nice work!

Looks exactly like the stock seats in my 73 Bvan, including the elastic loops for the seat belts. The loops are on both sides because the seats interchanged side to side.

You know that very well might be a factory special, Chrysler Corp. in the mid seventies was known for crooked nameplates and emblems.

I talked to a couple of their guys at the GNRS in Pomona on Saturday. They seem pretty enthusiastic about Mopars and their catalog is really impressive. Unfortunately, big as it is, there's still no listing for 70/71 Duster tail light lenses.

It's a race car and drag racers have always mixed and matched engines and bodies to suit their own needs. There are many Chevy powered Fox Mustangs and even a few Ford powered Camaros running on drag strips all around the country. A Chevy powered Duster is ceratinly not to my taste but it's his...

My Red 68 RR, bought in 72 for $100 (it was green then) Sold it in 86. Sure seemed like a good idea at the time.

2004 Wrangler LJ 1990 Cherokee XJ 1970 Duster 1947 Jeep CJ2A (current project) 1975 W200 Power Wagon 440 (next up) 1969 Plymouth Satellite (long term project, possible RR clone)

Paint it! The whole "barn find" thing is just a fad and soon will go the way of those pastel monochrome paint jobs from the 80's. Not trying to be offensive, but to most of the general public, your car will just look like a junker. The patina look is for old race cars and trucks from 1960 and...

I voted R/T, but a 5.9 magnum and A500 instead of a 440, would make a great road trip car/daily driver.

You could also use a Mico brake lock. You press on the brake pedal and flip a switch to activate a solenoid that maintains hydraulic pressure and locks the brakes. Unlike a Line-Loc, this solenoid is intended for long term use.

Grant Vehicle Security System: "No wheel, no steal" All of my vehicles, except the 1 with an air bag are so equipped. Just take the wheel off, replace it with the cap and lock the wheel in the trunk. No anti-theft device is foolproof, but this one's pretty hard to defeat.

If you need the clearance, by all means go with the cowl, it's your car. From an aero standpoint, it's the best option and painted body color, they look good. IMO If you want something different, US Body Source has an SRT style hood on their site listed as "coming soon". http://www.usbody.com/

I have a co-worker who is a real flake, meaning that he is dandruff on the butt-hair of life!

A compression test should answer your question pretty quickly.

So apparently the folks at Trans-Dapt did a piss poor job of copying the Schumacher mounts!

Since I'm sort of in the business, let me tell you this; most R&P gears on the market today, regardless of what it says on the box come from 1 or 2 overseas sources and are re-packaged once they get here. Generally the quality control is pretty good, not like it was about 10 years ago. The key...

Beautiful!

The flying Pinto was for real. If you look closely at the red Matador in "The man With the Golden Gun" when it takes off you will see it morphs into a flying Pinto. BTW, is that Cordoba Superbird really any uglier than the recent Challenger Superbirds?

If it's worth $500 to you, by all means buy it. The 62 Dart is like the Shar Pei of the Chrysler world, so ugly it's cute. A 62 Dart 4dr cop car clone would be pretty cool.

In 1979 I had my 77 Aspen R/T Superpak in the parking lot at Riverside Raceway before a Nascar race. It was a pretty good looking car for the time, black with red & orange stripes, flares & spoilers, 14x8 slot mags with G60s on the front & 14x9 with L60s on the rear. Low all around with a nice...

I think if you asked this question on Moparts the result might be different. That being said, I rarely go there. NO HOPE + NO CHANGE = NOBAMA 2012!! Do the math.

Check with Schumaker and TTI. Plug clearance for a low-deck is usually not an issue, but headers are a must for decent performance.

I think the operative phrase here is: "I took it to a local restoration shop". Convincing you to do a total "ground up" restoration and hopefully having them do the work, is their business and there's nothing wrong in that, but is that really what you want? If you like driving the car and it...

I'd just use the 74 drive train and put together a car to drive and enjoy. A numbers-matching drive train is meaningless unless the car is a bone stock restoration, it sure sounds like you're planning a modified car. I fail to understand the value of matching numbers on a 318/904 car, it's not...

If underhood heat is really a problem, go to the UPP (Used Parts Purveyor) and get the hood grilles off a turbo Laser or Daytona. They're functional, cheap and will look way better than that scoop. IMO, hood scoops on pick-ups just look wrong! Save that scoop for an A-body, like it was meant for.

Very nice, congrats!
