73' B3 340 Duster pro touring build
Today I went to check on the Duster and do some mock up and test fitting and now decided to remake my radiator cover panel, the new one will be much wider and overall fill the front of the engine compartment up (see post 1000, page 40) also decided to modify the Hotchkis hood ring, I decided to fill the countersunk screw holes and hide all the attaching hardware also remove the Hotchkis name, I'm also gonna make a couple billet bushings to surround the 1/2" hood pin so when the hoods up the drilled hole will have a nice finished look to the bottom side. I like the way the car is coming together, the hood fits perfect, notice the nice even gaps. I have to modify some breathers for the Valve covers that will fit in between inside(toward intake) side and Fuel Rail so I can keep the Valve Cover top nice and clean with no holes in them. I also came to realization today that I think I need Mental help....I just can't bolt anything on the way it's intended or leave anything stock...I mean modifying hood pins... seriously.
