If It turns out anything like the sketch the car will be beautiful. I wanted to go with the same color scheme on my duster but since it was yellow in High school I figured I better keep it yellow. Fastback Barracuda is my favorite abody.

you have to train your hand to tell you if its straight or not, there are small imperfections you just cannot see but you can feel. I like to use a fiberglass filler over weld areas (like everglass), then a nice polyester filler like Upol. trying to fix small spots at one time can be...

haven't updated this thread in awhile so I figured its about time... bought a spoiler, cut into the trunklid substructure and mounted the brackets, pretty cool spoiler kit that was a pretty good price Started performance class, Started taking apart my 360 to see if I could...

Sweet, gota love a cuda. Don't plan on being able to do much to your car there though. I know because I went to Wyotech for 9 months before I started here. If you keep perfect attendance and don't get any points taken then you can work on your car for the last 2 weeks of school. Not enough...

As many of you can tell, in my first post on this thread I was planning on doing a very light restoration, just freshening up the car. It has snowballed into a full on custom/resto-mod. Basicly want a car that will show off my skills and grab the attention of anyone it passes by. Trying to...

thank you and I sure am getting the hang of it, my welding has improved dramaticly in the last couple months, and really getting the hang of filler and getting a panel laser straight. thanks for watching I am flattered and really apreciate it. No shortcuts for sure, doing everything the...

New pictures and updates Rustproofing all places prone to rust on mopar, used POR-15 for all coating. Starting filler work I used Everglass fiberglass reinforced filler on any weld areas just for insurance in case I missed a pinhole or something. Passenger side...

thanks thanks, I hoped the pictures were not overkill, I have taken alot of pictures of the whole project thanks for the comments, I always thought I would like the mechanical side of things better but I love welding, I've gotten really good with MIG, and decent with TIG but could use...

Started refinishing class and started off by doing a few more patches... last floor patch with spot welds Large patch I had to make for the wheel well/rear seat belt support. with new spot welds into the seat belt support. New spoiler came in and it looks great! I reccomend Dante's...

dang an 1873 duster! Thats older than the Model T! lol looks like a solid project.

First rule about project mayhem is we do NOT talk about project mayhem..... sorry couldn't resist, watch the movie fight club and you would know what I am talking about haha

thank you sir, I got alot done on it this week. Last day for sheet metal working is tommorow. Then on January fourth I start learning to work with body filler and paint.

Here is the rough cut, found more rot than I expected. Test fitting the new trunk extension I made. This is were the rear seat belt reinforcement USED to be. Welded in the new trunk extension I made and painted it with POR-15 Final fit Started welding and bumping out the...

yea, for sure, I wish I just would've started here instead of even going to wyotech in the first place. definitely worth learning these skills.

thanks, takes alot of time but the work pays off

thanks man, we have school monday through friday 8AM-4:30PM, usually work on my car unless we have a test that takes an hour or so at most, every once in a while we go over stuff in the classroom for a few hours a week.

Tacked into place, the slow process of finishing off the welds and making more tacks. There has been some warping but not bad, hammer and dolly took care of that.

thanks RPM, sure am, pretty happy with the progress I've been making so far.

I couldn't of said it better, the triangulated sub-frame connector I designed, tied into the roll cage, is superior to the the regular straight sub-frame connector front to back and side to side. The car is very stiff now.

that would be cool, let me know what you find out.

sweet, if you do just let me know, and can show a few tricks I learned when putting mine together that helped out alot, lol the rear passengers in my car will be kind of cramped but I wont be riding back there haha.

looks familiar lol, will look good after a little bit of work.

It was nice to meet you in person today, there was alot of stuff I wouldn't mind getting ahold of. Definitely not stuff you see everyday.

yea no problem, send me a pm with your questions, I can hook you up thanks for the wheels comment, Im seriously thinking about running 17's now, the more I look at the picture the more I want 17's.
