Well since I finally started working on the new Duster, I figured I would start a build thread. A little history on how this build came to be. My 1st Duster of 23+ years was totaled by a drunk driver on my way home from the Fall Fling Oct 09. Here's the link to that thread. http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=77674 Dave & Johnny started a fund raiser to get a new body for me to replace the totaled one. Here's the link to that thread http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=100651
Given my circumstances with life in general, it's gonna be a slow build but I had to start on it to keep my sanity. I have a vision in my mind of how I want the car to look..achieving that goal is gonna take a while. The plan is a pro touring build but painted exactly the same as the 1st Duster. No sunroof this time since the one in the old car leaked & was just a pain after a while. Plans are a 6.1 HEMI, 6spd manual trans, RMS front & rear suspension. Don't have the trans yet, have the other items on the list. I have gotten plenty of ideas from other builds on here that I can't wait to use.
1st set of pics are where she as been sitting since she was delivered to my moms house.
