Keep doing what you're doing!
Oh man I can’t wait to see the silver car in person!
We want to park right next to you. HemiMark is planning on coming too with his small block (Vodka dispensing) Dart. It will be fun.
I like small blocks. I like Darts. I like Vodka. Sounds like my kind of people...
we'll be a team.
Updates?

so, did you make it to the MoParty? how was it, you guys have fun?
Snorkel Tube Hedders. Looks good!
28 " primaries
2" stepped at the halfway point to 2-1/8
from there I'll modify a TTi 3" system with H...or X pipe to the rear bumper, Butch wants something with less rumble than the Flowmaster 40's.
I'll tuck them up similar to the silver Duster (pictured)

Denny, I recently got rid of the turbo mufflers that come with the TTI kits and replaced them with some Borla straight through mufflers. Sound isn't much different and the butt dyno showed me how much those turbo mufflers kill power. They are quiet, but not worth it in my opinion.
Denny , I used Borla’s and to get rid of the rumble I added the borla resonator.
I read your post a while back regarding your muffler swap. very interesting and informative.
I will order the 3" TTi kit sans the mufflers.
likely what we will do. Thanks for the info.

I always loved how you did that, very cool.
my buddy has a sports bar in Plum, Pa with an unlimited supply of cocktail napkins to sketch idears out.
Time to let the powder coater work his magic. Because of the different style rim where the hub bolts on, the 14" deep aluminum rears will not require drilling the holes in the rim for the nuts on the backside of the (fake) bolts.
Once happy with the powder coat finish, I will machine / cut out the good Super Trick centers I plan on using. The one pictured is pitted and has a crack in it....but is why I don't throw away much, never know when you might put it to good use.

with the arrival of the 6-speed auto and the Hellcat / Road Runner build at the body shop back, time to get back on the HDK / Geni III / Whipple / Butch Leal resto-mod.

over time, the project switched from 4-speed w/ GV to the OEM 8HP90 8-speed to (hopefully final answer) the TCI 6X Gen III / Outlaw shifter (automatic) package. Butch worked with TCI on the converter specs. We liked the transmission gear selection with a .75 overdrive.
It does fit the OEM tunnel tunnel a lot better and will only need what I consider minor mods.

What is this sorcery Denny? Van LCA and a SN95 Mustang spindle?
The plan, which I am already azz deep into, is a street strut using the SN95 spindles and QA1 Mustang strut. Numerous reasons why... but this was my best solution. I basically adapted 96-04 OEM Mustang geometry to my front subframe.
The $100 OEM Mustang arms are used make a jig for building a set of mock-up adjustable track width LCA's. Once optimum length / position of the LCA ball joint pivot is established, the plan is to re-use the jig to make the finished arms.
Did I mention I luv to build stuff.
BTW...what seats do you have in your Duster,? I sat in them @ MoParty and thought they were very comfortable. I might need to get a set for this build.
Love it. Lots of options for big brakes with that spindle, not that you would want those. But I'm sure there are also lots of race car brakes too.
They are TMI Seats They come complete ready to go. I have the pro series low back.
