Cleaned my interior,











Also came up with a name for my car and painted it on my aircleaner cover, not sure if i like how the painting came out let me know if you guys think I should do it over.

Looks good man.

How did you move your bumper back that far?
I would like to do this to my duster and one of my darts.

You take the bumper brackets off and use a dremel tool with a porting bit to grind away material to stretch the length of the mounting bolt holes in the bumper brackets. Really cleans the car up and improves on the fit and look if you do it correctly. I ditched the front rubbers the very day I took posession of my 73, I think that is the one thing the engineers really gave way to function over form and pretty much made it look like they beat it with the ugly stick.
 
Nice, you do the Rihno yourself?
Did you do under the car?
 
look's great and the interior sure cleaned up nice!!
The bumper looks good pulled in close like that! :thumbup:
But I am not crazy about the nice art work on your breather.
Just me. :blackeye:
Your swinger is looking good :salute: :thumbup:
 
Yup, I put the rhino liner on myself and no I didnt do under the car, Ill have to think about doing underneath.

Also I didnt even move my bumper, I just took the guards off.


Thanks for the compliments guys.

Heres a small update guys:














I got a set of hammer and dollies in 2 days ago so ive been pounding out dents and getting the body and fenders as straight as possible. Fender needs a little bit more work but its getting there. The nose needs a little more and also a part of it welded because it was hit and the metal ripped, so i have to bring that to my uncle to get welded. But thats it for now.
