A-Bodies...Big Motors / New Hemi Duster - FINAL ASSEMBLY

[76orangewagon]

no Halibrands....Torque Thrust II, Steelies, and Cragars

I gonna go out on a limb here and assume that the "New" project Tribute car will have the same rear end configuration/spec's so with all these wheels choices you can mix and match them from car to car.

Good call

However I am considering changing the rears to 10" vs the 8" that I have now.

I see Hemi Denny's first Hemi Duster, built in the mid-90's, has turned up on eBay.

He didn't have a hood scoop or all of those stripes on it.

It looks like it's only gone about 2k miles since he sold it!

Let me guess, Denny thinks the "Hemi" stripes and hood scoop ruin the originallity of the car? That car is definitely full of Sleeper potential.

I took great pains to build and maintain the "if the factory built one in '73" concept.

different folks are different strokes....or something like that.

I like the side stripes, but not the Hemi call out or the scoop.

New rolling stock for 2015 installed today!

 

[76orangewagon]

Wow... those really look good, especially against the Silver body. Let's see Hemi Mark got new tires and mounted them on some Magnum 500 and now You go and Mount up new rubber on some cool looking Halibrand replicas. So my question is........ Who's next out the Gang to do some rubber swappin' ?

 

[HemiDenny]

Looks like I will have to get a second set for the black car.....probably rattle can them Harvester Gold.

Check the top couple of photos how nice and tight the front bumper now fits.....easy peasy

 

[Old Man Mopar]

Harvester Gold?

 

[HemiDenny]

yeah....I think I have some already on the shelf....leftover from the lawn mower

 

[SixSpeedSS]

My favorite set of wheels on the Duster yet!

 

[Spun Bearing]

Sweet! A new look that is even more Missile like. Actually, I like it both ways. You could switch it out!

 

[PapstXX]

Looks fantastic
