Restore it, Dont part it!
Yes it. And tons of work that noone will ever see! Hahaha.
I would have removed a little more of the valve cover bolt lump in the intake ports. I would have also come up the bowls a little closer to the seats. Take this as constructive criticism.
Other than that, it's looking good

Absolutely constructive criticism is what I'm looking for that is why I ask! I want to do the best job possible and learn the most that I can!. Thanks a bunch for your input. I'm so scared to get to get to close to the seat I kept my distance on purpose to not make a critical mistake. On the 2nd head I got awful close to the seat while inserting my dremal i think it will be ok. I will work on it some more. One question on the seat there is like 3 different angles there which one is considered the actual seat? I'm assuming it's the middle one.I would have removed a little more of the valve cover bolt lump in the intake ports. I would have also come up the bowls a little closer to the seats.

Here is the one I made an oopsie on!
I posted the other head I got done today in the 2019 Jaba vs me race. Zoom in, look close at the exhaust. Keep the tulip shape, starting at the seat and into the bowl. smooth it and buff it.

No show, all go!
Towed the dart to a badass shop close to home this morning. Was there at 7am. Pretty sure it was -30 windchill. Spring perches are welded in. Exhaust cutouts are in. O2 sensor bungs are welded in.

Finishing up brakes and other stuff on the undercarriage/chassis.
Should be able to move her around under it's own power in the next day or so. Next up is the poor man's alignment to get all the new components close for final adjustments.

Changed out the pinion seal on the 8-3/4. Ended up being an easy job. Old seal got chiggered up and was leaky. Now onto getting leaf spring hangers cleaned up and ready for spring install.

The rusty pile is road worthy once again.
Should be able to see a little better too. Installed crackedback headlight relay kit.

Happy to be posting on this thread again! Bought some new boots for the Duster and sandblasted the bench seat frame. Going to re-upholster the split bench with new Legendary skins.
Well letslet's see, I live in central new York and it is 20 degree's here so I am dreaming of taking it oout and smoking the crap out of the tires. Probability won't start either as it hasn't been since October

I didn't get anything done this morning I was just to dang tired after work. I plan on putting in some time tomorrow morning hopefully I will feel like it. These 72 hour work weeks are starting to wear me down. I have worked 72 hours (6×12s) since Christmas I'm really starting to feel it lol
I spent the last four months a couple three hours a day working winter away on my 67 Barracuda.
It started with pulling the dash to repaint it.
As projects go it mushroomed and I don't know how many times I said "well while we are doing this we ought to do that"
My buddy/neighbor helping said if he heard that one more time he was going to say "NO".
According to my book more than 50 things done all restoration and improvements.
All done just in time for car season.

Got the shackles, hangers and springs painted. Along with the drums which were the Canadian ones 
Gas tank is in
I made the mistake of ordering prebent stainless lines but didn’t realize I have a 70 and up 8-3/4. Doh. Luckily I had plenty of left over stainless brake line and the Eastwood flaring tool. Made my own. Turned out ok.
Getting closer.
