Idea for Duster frontend conversion

[mguner]

I saw a Mustang in PHR a while back with this Mustangs Plus kit on it and then thought about my 2 ton Ralph Nader front bumper on my 75 Duster. Maybe some of you photoshop guys can render what an "R" model Duster would look like...

Man this reminds me of those thriller movies where an evil hybrid is created with only one cause... to destroy the world!!!
Here is a quick result!

God help us.

Dang that was fast! I wanna see how it looks with the Duster grille though... That is too much Ford for my taste... LOL Very cool look though, I think anyway!

Here is another quick result for you! That actually looks better!

 

[mguner]

Yes that does look mega cool!! I will forward this to my fiberglass guru in FL!

What? you are actually building that? I would be very interested in seeing the result! Brave man!

how does that hood hold with 4 hood pins?

My 69 Dart only had 4 pins.... I will probably build a metal version with 1/2" EMT frame and aluminum skin. Should be alot lighter than the bumper and more aerodynamic...

Thay hold just fine with only four hood pin's. The 69 1/2 super bee only had four from the factory. I got hood pins on my stock hood and took the other two hood latches off. Seemed kind of pointless to me to have three hood latches. Plus it removes a few pounds off of your front end8)
