sadistic and masochists 72 duster

[Old Tired Rebel]

but on second thought stopping wasn't the best idea cause the smoke caught up to us couldn't see anything but had the biggest koolaid smile for at least 15min lol

LMAO it was well worth it by the pictures. What did your neighbors say about it?

was at my moms rofl only one neighbor complained but she was nice about it just said her son was sleeping and i understand cause he is handicapped so i apologized and told her it wouldn't happen again.

So got the 72 grill hood bumper and tail lights. Wet sanded the hood and cleaned the grill they are on now will be painting the hood flat black and swaping bumpers tomorrow.

It is actually a 72 the old owner put 73 parts on im changing it back. If you want to change it all you have to do marker lights grill hood bumpers and twilight but just the front end you could use grill hood bumper its a direct bolt on o and you'll need the core support

Made a sort video to see how it would turn out and blacked out my tail lights[ame="http://youtu.be/mk-BQ9GOS2A"]http://youtu.be/mk-BQ9GOS2A[/ame]

 

[mwls73duster360]

Made the engine nicer today and yes i took safety measures with the air cleaner new wire mesh between carb and element and piece of regular element before the foam so if it ever does back fire it won't reach the foam.

 

[mwls73duster360]

Made this spoiler and painted the grill has it's own thread but figured it should be on here.
