Hey guys,

My dad and I just finshed restoring my 1974 plymouth Duster. We have spent about 3 years doing it. When we first got it, it was brown and bench seats. Now it has bucket seats and everything in the car is new or has been rebuilt. Its a 318 320hp, 904 trans rebuilt with the beefyer stuff, 8 1/4 rear end with a TTI exhauts system. Let me know what you think. Still needs a few finishing touchs such as rear strip and emblems. Plus it will be my daily driver.

Thanks,
Brian

WAY TO GO!.

Fore sure a great turn around.....my 72 duster is/was almost that same khaki color and i decided to switch it over to plum crazy purple.....my build is still in progress (link in my signature) been at it about a year now...cant wait for the finished product.

Your looks great though...you guys did a great job!

Mine has hardly any body work....it was mostly a factor with junk cracked paint from sitting in the california sun so I am stripping the paint rather than have it pop up flaws under my new paint.

and of course some "body expert" LOL fixed a dented in quarter panel with about 2inchs of bondo so I had to straighten that out....

Other than that i am just running through the hole car and making it like new again (part of the fun of the hole thing is the experience of doing all of the work yourself and doing it all the first time).

there fun cars to work on though EXCEPT for when it comes to finding a few hard to find parts.

you guys did a great job though and i love the color choice
 
That looks like a super job, take care of it!

That right there is the best part.=D> But the transformation is dramatic and awesome. I like the earlier stripe, with the Duster logo. I might have to put that on my '73 when I get to that point.

Nice car really well done. I like the ashtray treatment in your dash. Could we see a close up of that? I was thinking of that same thing as well. Thanks
