Little refresh for Spring Fling! Daughter is bringing her Duster. Repainted the hood and shimmed the scoops to not dig into the paint. Legendary and I used crap glue back in the day. Weldwood Landau Top glue will NOT fail in Az. Chip touch up and a cut and buff she will be ready to load up.

Awesome work.

Love the twister hood and graphics. At the Keystone rims are perfect touch. A good looking rim that’s a little different and not overused.

Can’t wait to see it at the show. Malibu cruise?

Steve can you see if I registered? I don't remember doing it (means nothing) and when I started to register the boxes started to auto fill with the Duster specifics... It will be under Kaelyn Kueneman.

I wonder how the other kids in school reacted to it. Did they like it, or maybe not have any clue of what it was... Or maybe they saw your daughter as the rich kid with the nice hotrod...

They loved it. She had a rival that had a Mustang that wanted to race her but he had more dreams than cash to ever get it running. He would have been hard pressed as the KB 9.5:1 and Toth ported heads make this 318 run _very_ well.

When I was in high school in 1986 not many kids had classic cars. The rich kids had new cars, the middle class kids had used junkers, and the poor kids walked to school. Only a few of us had classics, I had a beat up '69 Firebird, and the others in the lot were 1971 Trans Am, 1973 Camaro, 1969 Camaro, 1974 Chevy Luv, 1972 Power Wagon, 1967 Baracuda. No girls ever had a cool car in my high school.

I had a cheaply restored 69 Sport Satty Convertible power everything and a 383.

those weren't classics then, they were just old cars.

**** man, my daily is 5+ years older than any of those were at the time.
 
I'll be out in the swap and my son will have his Dart in the show. Still not done, but presentable. Stop by and say hello.
