Bear in mind, this is my very first solo build, and it's better than what it used to look like :P on the stand, obviously... And where it currently lives.

got tags for my car, started driving it and realized it steers by itself, but only to the right. it has been aligned. also, before anyone asks, I dont have the pressurized and return lines mixed up. that's really hard to do.

ahh, okay I think I know what I'll do now. I'll probably drill holes just big enough to get the straw in and spray a little bit inside. thanks

my question is, does anyone else's trunk lid rattle? the two skins on my lid produce a terrible rattling from almost anything. exhaust, closing the doors, the stereo, all make it clatter together.

this is one SWEEET build, man! can't wait to see it finished, a four door sleeper is my favorite compared to some of the fates many of them meet ( Getting painted flat black, being jumped, having the roof cut off, or meeting a crusher without being stripped, etc.) just goes to show, too, that...

hey guys, haven't posted in a while, thought I'd share my progress. got my hedman headers on, got the summit exhaust on, all I have to do is pass my license test on the 8th, get it aligned, then transfer the title and get some tags. lol, also hoping to pick up an 87 Plymouth Horizon!!! hope...

thanks guys, now I'll probably NEVER see how his car turned out :P ah well, s*** happens.

thought for a brief moment about cutting up my door panels to put some 6" circulars in, and decided I wouldn't until all other options were considered. so where do you have your speakers mounted, other than in the rear deck?

there's an aspen in a local wrecking yard, it's got a split bench,(basically two buckets mounted on a rack style mount, with an armrest in the middle) and it's the same color as my duster's interior and in good shape. they have a good bit of bolstering on the sides too. yard owner wants $35 for...

this makes me wonder about the canopy style vinyl tops for a gold duster...

as of sunday, my car runs. dropped the 360 in after hanging the transmission, and bolting up the mounts. some bad news though. after priming oil and getting fuel to the carb, i bypassed the starter relay(turns out that's bad, I tried the key) and it fired right up. I almost didn't notice, but...

no, actually the factory rear ends are too narrow because the the duster was valiant based. under a valiant, they are the perfect width, but since the duster didn't get it's own width, it's too narrow. the page allpar has for the duster mentions this. and I want to correct myself for saying it's...

i was just milling around and decided to measure all the 8 3/4" housings we have, and found out that the perches for a truck are the same width as an A-body. from pin to pin on the perches, they're roughly 43 inches. now from flange to flange, it's two inches (1.85"), which makes up for the rear...

they are gy8 and d2f6 in that order.

another update! My duster is at my house and last weekend I changed the rear end out, and this weekend I'm doing the front end for the disc brakes. after that, I'm ordering the mounts from schumacher. and another thing; I'm doubting the validity of my car's identity. because the interior is...
