1974 Duster 383 refurbishment

[jacko241]

I don't think I can call this a restoration, as it is a very solid car. I am going to refurbish many areas of it, tidy it up, improve it, and generally put my mark on it. First project to get the brakes working properly. I am replacing calipers, pads,rotors, shoes, wheel cylinders, and hoses. Here is a shot of the stripped down rear with just the new wheel cylinder installed on the 8.75.

Looks like a nice car! Sometimes if im really going for it, Ill wire brush the poop outta the backing plate and give er the ol neutralizer then prime n paint. But if its just got to function....run it!

Just got some goodies in for the Duster. Mancini Racing master cylinder kit, and I refurbished an earlier Duster steering wheel and customized it to my liking.

Did a couple more things to my Duster, made a replica 383 Magnum air cleaner lid, and installed new trunk seal.

Finally got my exhaust finished, moving it inboard from the fenderwell headers. 2.5 inch pipe, x pipe, and used Dynomax Ultraflow mufflers I got from @daddio4048.
