My "new" '74 Duster- or why I need a project like a hole in the head
Ok, time for some updates on this one. While I haven't been posting on this build, I have actually been working on it. :D
Since I last posted, I
-finished the rally dash install, including installing an RTE ivr
-broke in the cam
-installed an oil filter relocation kit
-installed my Doug's headers and modified my 4 speed Z-bar to fit
-installed a 2.5" Summit dual exhaust
-recurved the dizzy to deal with 20* of initial advance
-relocated the battery to the trunk
-installed bucket seat floor reinforcments and aftermarked buckets
-converted the car from a standard to fold down rear seat (no really, I did!) :D
-lined the roof and floor with Fatmat
-installed a new headliner and did a complete color change on the interior
-changed the fuel sending unit (twice!) :banghead:
-cut down an E-body crush can and re-welded it to make an A body tuff wheel adaptor
-Put about 70 miles on it so far
There's more I've done that I've probably forgotten, but those are the highlights. I'm going to do a separate thread on my fold down conversion, as I know the topic has come up before. Still a long way from finished, but being back on the road is VERY nice. :glasses7:
Here are some pictures along the way. I'll get some more showing the current state of things, as I'm a bit further along than these suggest.
