1972 Duster "spruce up"

[ibleedmoparts]

Well, i guess i'll start this thread. I bought the car over Christmas, 318 aut rust free Califirnia car. Needs some work but very doable. Its at my parents house right now until i PCS in the fall but since im gonna start on the motor, i figures i'd start showing my progress. I scored a 77' 360 and am sending the heads to Bobby at BJR real soon. Will finish the shortblock while the heads are out. I have a 70' model 4 speed trans and a 30k mile 3:23 chunk. A 69' RR rear will top it off. I have been gathering parts since i was 16, well for my Dart Sport but it has since passed away. SO I have a manual steering box, 75' Dart disc setup, 4 speed hump, dual hood scoops, floor shift column, even the medallions to install deluxe interior and probably much more that I cant remember until I start looking for it. I have some rallye wheels but my wife insists on cragar s/s which is cool as long as she funds it...LOL...Still unsure of what color but Vitamin C or Triple Black are on my mind. I can't wait to be united with the car this fall. Anyhow i'll post my pics and progress when I can

NICE Duster! For some reason, the white with white & black interior looks good to me, don't rule it out. I'm a Florida boy myself...black cars get so hot in the sun. White would be so dang clean, along with a tastefully blacked-out grille. Vitamin C is cool but it's been DONE. No offence intended to anyone. It will be great whatever you choose, you scored a beauty there. Thank you for posting pics.
