Project Riddler's Ride - 1976 Plymouth Duster
Well on Saturday, Jim and I made some more progress on the car and finished off the minitubs. The work completed looks amazing and to think we did this with a mig welder and angle grinders is amazing. Just imagine if we had the right tools...
Please bear in mind the heat was killer, 90 degree's with extreme humidity.
These pictures show the first tub completed and tacked in. Afterwards Jim went back and completed stitch welds for strength.
This is the second side. Here you can see the patch panels I made out of sheet metal.
Through the taillight views, driver's side then passenger. While I was going to be seam sealing the tubs I fixed the trunk extension on the passenger side and got it ready for new seal seal.
Inside the car view. As you can see I still need to replace the seatbelt mounts. Any idea if replacement seatbelt mounts are available?
The cross braces for the back seat welded back in.
Now to finally finish the minitubs off, we need to put some better welds on the bottom of the cross braces, replace the seatbelt mounts, and cut the trunk arm braces and reweld them on.
