1972 Duster, 340/4, black on black (the endgame)

Not much real progress, but it's starting to look like a car. I have to get it back on all fours so I can get it off the rotisserie so I'm putting suspension bits in it. A lot of it will be replaced, but as long as I can move the car it'll hang on there for now:

I also made some mods to the hood. I put pins in it so I can get away from the factory latch mechanism. I also ditched the original coil springs in the hinges and went with a pair of gas cartridges I pulled off a junked late model Impala. As heavy as that hood is, they hold it up nicely:

So it's starting to look like a car again, even tho much of this gets pulled off once I have a good place to work on it.
