70 duster getting some boost..

-
There is 130 or so feet in the cage.. and the cromolly weighs less that a lb per foot i think.. ill be weighing the car once its finished.. im sure it will be heavier than most dusters but we will see..
 
Thanks for answering Doc's tubing question Ryan.

Denny and I just got home from the weekend in North Carolina where the entire
Missile crew was inducted into the East Coast Drag Racing Hall of Fame.

During the seminar they remarked that the final weight of the Wire Car (which was
in attendance) was less than 1800 lb and that when the powertrain and drivetrain
were out of it, two people could pick it up and carry it around the shop!

Front fender clearance with alternate suspension set-ups. Looks like there is a significant difference.

It was a night and day difference.. the old stuff was horrible and the ball joints were all in a bind. With the car at that height i wanted.. the hdk is by far the best money i have spent on this project.. i couldnt be any happier.
 
Your build is off the charts. Fun to watch.
 
The AMD full quarters got here the other day.. now i just need the door skin and the new tail panel.. then ill be set.. lol other than puting it all on..

Glass hood, trunk lid, and both bumpers are on order as well..
 
awesome!!!....(I'll bet ya never heard that before....and it never gets old).
 


Unlimited Glass hood, trunklid, front and rear bumper just showed up.. decent quality definatly will need a little work to make it all how i want it..
 
small update..

more of the steering.. not finished yet but almost, will have a t bolt clamp in 2 spots.







also decided on new headers.. not finished but alot cleaner looking in my opinion..
