While Krusty is getting some paint-work done, I've been able to get a few things coated, and buy some rear tires. The rear wheels are out for beadlocks. I'm working on finishing a long-term project, so I have more room when it leaves. Next for Krusty, is to refinish the dash panels.....

I'm in Chesterfield. I don't paint anymore.....and leave the nasty stuff to pros. Any quality bodyshop should be able to color-match and blend your quarters. If you want to do it yourself, you can get real paint in spraycans mixed. Prep, spray, and polish it.

We moved the corners on the wheel lips an inch, for a bit more tire.

Went up to drop-off parts and inspect Krusty. I like the black cage in the trunk, much better.....

You are spending too much money to not make it shiny.

LOL. Then it would just be another shiny Duster. The world is full of them.
I'm over the jewelry thing. Have/had too many of them.


This reminds me of the guy who said I wasted a hemi on my wagon.....

Me too, I made mine too nice
 
Received my bead-lock converted Bogarts today. Beautiful job by Neil and Parks. These are one of the last things I have to run up to AW Racecars. After the carpet and headliner are installed, they'll assemble what's there. Then, it's tow the roller home to complete the build. Many more steps involved....
