Blue Sky Hemi Duster Build
It's been a while since I've checked in. You know how December can be. The long and short of it is that the Duster just needs a pair of wheels on the front to be a roller. It will then be rolled to the fabricator to take care of the rear suspension, which is beyond my current capabilities.
One of the tasks I took care of was shortening and modifying the Duster's steering column. This was necessary due to the AlterKation and 6.1 arrangement. I am now convinced that a steering column out of a car with an automatic transmission shifted on said column is the most complicate part of any car. I figured it out and all is well.
One very cool thing was the arrival of the 6.1/NAG1 wiring harness and speed sensors from Hotwire Auto. This is one of the most crucial elements of this whole project. The harness is a very nicely executed thing. Sure, I haven't installed it yet, but I'm confident it will work just fine.
Now that the Duster is ready to be handed over to the fabricator I suppose I'll just have to spend money and organize so I can be as efficient as possible once I get the car back and turn for the final stretch.
I'll be utilizing the services of Kevin Broderick at Fabrications Unlimited to put the rear suspension and sub-frame connectors together. He comes highly recommended by folks whom I respect. Upon meeting with him and discussing the Duster project I have a ton of confidence in his operation. This should be good.
As usual, feel free to check out my blog for more details if you're interested.
Happy New Year, folks.
