heres my newest tinker toy 70 plymouth gold duster im gonna freshen up the drivetrain and drive the wheels off of it

excuse the smoke my buddy was burnin some leaves and twigs. for a car thats been hiding out in a wrecking yard its pretty complete and the interior is in nice shape too except for the front seat

i was gonna try to get the original motor up and running but it was locked up and the number 4 intake push rod went threw the rocker so im guessing that is what killed it thankfully i have another motor in storage

im heading back to the wrecking yard this weekend i was able to talk the owner into selling me the steering wheel out of the GTX its a woodgrain rallye wheel complete with no cracks for 50 bucks!! when i do i'll have my buddy take some photos of the X as it was the duster's pal for atleast 10 yrs or more thats it for now my plan is to keep the patina that it has earned and kinda have a joe dirt type of ride
