nice work
Thanks for posting those cuz, I was having issues loading them from my phone.
It looks pretty good.....Black is the hardest color to lay because it shows every flaw.
I NOW Need:
Headliner
Windshield
Rear Window Gasket
Drip Rail Weatherstripping
Trunk Seal
Side Marker Lenses
73/74 Antenna Mast and Bezel/Cable
AND A TiG welder !!!!!!

I can just see it now!,
These wheels like GDemon's, but with the Acorn Caps
The interior Redone (like I recently did to my Dart Sport...like this...but this is NOT my Dart Sport)
and MY OWN design, self fabbed Single Turbo System....Very Similar to this setup, but Different.
Then the 71'/72' Duster 340 Side Stripe with the word Duster in the stripe,....and a 360 Call Out, but I am going to have the 360 custom made with a turbo in the "6" on both sides and a * after the 360, like my Duster is 360* of badness.
And still Considering Go-Wing/No-wing
Some might think its just a dream....but to me, its Me Crafting my own Reality of a car that makes me all giddy inside....or My Dream Car.
:cheers:

Now you can finally start putting it together. I know you are glad she's home. Can't wait to see it.
Looking great Prine, so this is not the car you have know, or did you find another to do ? Good luck on the carb and hat in the for sale thread.
The Black paint is a bit** to lay down and looks like it has a good/great skin on it :cheers: Congratulations on getting it home and ready for your touch :happy2: Subscribed to this thread

Thanks Mike.

It's been said before but i'll say it again......Theres nothing like a Black on Black paint scheme.....and your looks very nice. Good job.

Lookin good Kelly. Are you gonna put 73 duster bumpers on? to tuck the bumpers in more so you dont have to have the strips in between the bumper and body

Also what are the specs on the rear wheels? and the size of the tire?
Thanks for all the compliments.
I am installing a 1972 Duster rear bumper...and modifying the front bumper for a more "tucked" in look.
The rims are currently 17x7 with 4.25"BS.....but hopefully sometime in 2013 I will be sending (2) rims off to have them Re-Hooped into 17x9 or 17x10 with a 3"BS to fill out the factory wheel tub.....and maybe fit some 275mm tires inside the wells. I intend to use as many Stock Components as possible, (transmission 904, and 8.25" 3.21 geared differential)......dont know what kinda weak links will come up, but will sure find out.
I know...I know....many of you are thinking Parts are going to be breaking left and right, but I assure you...the car doesnt have a specified goal HP, ET, or Top Speed.
I want it to drive everyday, Sunny, Wet, or Snowing. (not that it will see rain or snow, but that it Could.)
I WILL take it to the track....just to get an idea of what its capable of....not to Campaign it....or chase a Magic Number.
I believe in leaving some "slip" in the package....such as "STREET tires"......I dont plan on putting SLICKS on it. :burnout:
thanks again for all the comments.

I can't wait to see this. I hope you do some detailed pics of the turbo setup. I want to "attempt" the same at some point in the future.
