Captainkirk's Duster project

And you were coming here to see what the Cap'n has been up to on The Duke....:poke:

Not a damn thing, my friends. The only action going on out in the frozen hinterland is some hot action with the old Victor mouse converter....busy converting warm, furry bodies into cold, lifeless stiff corpses.:wack: Not that I enjoy this; it's a fact of life, is all. Mice and cars, classic cars especially, don't mix. On a more cheery note, I did receive my very first royalty check from my book about The Duke; a whopping three dollars and eighty-nine cents.....selling like hotcakes, they are! Family and friends can only go so far.....:goodman:

But in the mean time, I'm keeping the ol' Inspiration-O-Meter pegged by browsing the forum here, and living vicariously through YOUR projects. I realize that's kinda twisted, but that's the way it is. :wack:

Winter has been hell here so far in the midwest; early snow, followed by the lowest deep-freeze in 3 decades; 20 below zero WITHOUT wind chill, which converted to -44 when they did pick up.....through it all, my Mighty Dakota fired up and kept me mobile when none of the other family vehicles would budge. Boo-ya! That ol' 318 Magnum now has clocked 230k!!! Once the weather breaks some, I am predicting both an early spring, and an early rock 'n roll date for getting back on The Duke, so I'm relaxing and enjoying my winter hiatus while I can.

My Duster Kid, Chris, (Dusterman79) through all this nasty weather, blew the rear end out in his Chevy S10 truck and we drove up to a boneyard and got a replacement.....that kid changed the entire diff in his driveway laying on a tarp over snow and ice in a weekend and drove an hour each way to work on Monday morning. I gotta tell ya, he impressed the hell out of me! I'm expecting big things out of him on his Duster this summer with that kinda tenacity. Kudos to Chris!

Hope to have some updates for ya soon, but that kinda depends on Mom Nature!
