1972 Duster, 340/4, black on black (the endgame)
Not much progress to report, but there isn't supposed to. Got the rear axle housing narrowed, painted and installed. Got the car off the rotisserie, and just in time. Took it down on a Sunday, got laid off the following Monday (talk about cuttin' it close). Picked up the back tires at Summit Reno, got them mounted and bolted them up:
And there's plenty of room:
And funny how things work out. Jumped on an opportunity to buy a 69 (I think) Valiant 4 door with a rotten floor, blown /6 (ran it out of oil) and a near perfect front clip. The car is now sitting in a storage unit with the Valiant fenders on it-I'll get the hood down there tomorrow. That solves my issue with that right fender and the warped hood :thumleft: This means I'm right back to having to paint the front clip again but this time I know I won't have rust issues and dents to deal with.
Now to find a new place to live with a garage so I can get it underway.
