The Rebuild is almost complete

[dwire67]

After a 1 1/2 of work my 1970 Duster is almost ready to drive.
I Drag Raced the car for about 10 years, so all the street equipment was removed and it was alot of work to put it back!

I installed new AMD floor pans
Magnum Force front tie bars
Custom dash & wiring -done by Joe Luis who is very talented body man
New engine 360 ci -lD340 intake .525 soild cam, 10.5 ported J heads with 2.02 valves.
New Passon 4 speed
8 3/4 3.23 with a true track
Hotckis rear springs & adjustable strut rods
4 wheel disc brakes
Here are few pictures of my progress and I am pretty proud of doing all this myself and never new how to weld before this started.

I have to say I havent seen round stock sub frame connectors. Did you install these? I assume they serve the purpose just as well as the rectangle tubing I see most guys use?

 

[dwire67]

No I did not install them, I had friend with chassis shop install them years ago. He always used round tube , not sure why?

Cool rims there. What size and what are they?

 

[dwire67]

They are 2006 charger base steel wheels and I added the center caps , paint and trim rings. They are 17x8 factory wheels
