Never would've thought I'd have a Mopar in the drive way, but couldn't pass up the deal I got on the 72' Duster/Twister I'm bringing home on Wednesday! Going to be a long road ahead of me, but it came with a ton of parts and will be an absolute bullet once it's done! I'm up in Auburn, WA, race Chevy's mostly but obviously am not too partial whenever a good deal comes along! All of my cars will be in my signature once I update my profile, but just wanted to drop in and introduce myself first!

Jumpin Jehosephat, that thing looks badass!! Welcome to here, glad to have you with us!!!
 
Welcome to the Mo-power world!

Just a little advice, be prepared for the power, it's a lot more than you chevy guys are used to!
 
Thanks for the welcome so far everybody! I'll have lots of questions, that's for sure! Looking forward to learning a lot though. This thing is way cool and I can't wait to have it home tomorrow!
 
Welcome aboard
Looks like a good platform

LOL Not quite. Just an iron headed 11:1 SBC. Haven't gotten it dialed in completely. First outing it spun at the line for a horrid 1.8x 60' and ran out of fuel at 3/4 track but still managed to coast to a 12.3 @ 103mph.

That's better then the first time I got my 408 down the track...I clocked the 1/8 at 74 mph, right as I outran my fuel pump and clocked the 1/4 at 72

Not bad for running out of gas, what was the 1/8 mile time and mph?

That was two+ years ago now. I may still have the slip somewhere around here. Life happened for a year but now it's got a new tank, new 1/2" line, pre-filter, rebuilt the Carter 172 pump, rebuilt the Proform 750 carb, new 1/2" post filter...Should have no more fuel issues. Hopefully!
 
Welcome from Sweden, glad You found us. There sure are some Chevys I could consider to have in my driveway. A ZL1 car is one of them.
