Which Color ? The Ford Grabber Orange on the hood latch support, the original Basin Blue(aka Petty blue for you Dodge boys) on the roof, The Black E-coat on the rear quarters or the gallon plus of gray Epoxy primer used everywhere else ??? Rum and Diet Cherry Coke will have to wait till the weekend...... but thanks.

I like the look ohne dimple ALOT better Ross. Smooth and clean, those adjusters are nice to. Another week or two and my engine compartment will be slightly more industrial, but should be as effective. Keep up the good work.

Please don't keep your opinion to yourself, I enjoy the feedback and sometime's I see things in a different light and change directions with the build....

That color orange of the hood latch, is that what the car will be? Sorry if I missed it.

Like the majority of parts on this build, that was done as a Test piece to see how I liked it. now that I have looked at it for 6 months I can saywith some confidence that NO that will not be the color of the car....It's not Orange enough for me without being a true Orange. I want a non- traditional color so I dont just blend in with the crowd.

Actually I wish someone would steal it, I would like to see that color on a Duster to ultimatley sway me one way or the other on the color.

That engine bay dress up looks great. Wish I had the ability to get a set of those. I have no access to the tools required to make a set.

There really not that difficult to make. True, I used a waterjet to cut mine, but you could hand cut/shear a set (mine are .050" 4130 steel) pretty easily and weld the lip on from the back side and grind a slight radius to match the contour of the factory stamped edge. Since I eliminated the Dimple holes there's nothing really special about them now.

In this liberal world you need to be told the truth "there special because you made them" LOL Thanks for the pics, I'm digging it!

Anybody currently actively building should be on the top shelf,
even if they have eschewed custom cupholders in deference
to solid hot rod design ethics.
Nice rod Ross.
