Project Riddler's Ride - 1976 Plymouth Duster

Well today my brother in law and best friend Jim came over to work on the car. I started work on the hood hinges with gas struts and he started on the Willwood front brakes since I had the front AlterKtion assembled.

Here's the Willwood Dynalite hub and rotor bolted together.


Here's the back of the rotor with the stainless steel safety wire. Jim is a master of this, I'm super happy to have a friend with these skills.


Here's a picture of the front hubs with the bearings packed, the seals installed and ready to be bolted to the spindle.


Here's everything bolted onto the car ready for some wheels.


Now the front wheels. We bolted these down with just a couple of lug nuts since I want to buy some better lugs. These are just cheapy ones.


Close up....



While Jim was working on the front brakes I moved from the hood hinges to the XV front brace. I figured the chassis needed to get finished before I started to do little things. I cut and removed the stock sheet metal and cleaned up the front for welding. Jim welded the brace on for me.



Then I primed the XV brace so it doesn't rust.


So now the front brace was done, I turned my attention to the floor pans. The welds needed to be grinded down and then I needed to seam seal and prime them. The rust was starting....


Now comes the seam sealer..


Here's the floor pans primed. The primer matches the Epoxy Primer used by the media blaster.


Just want to say thanks again to my brother in law Jim.
