Rapom's Rocket - just another Duster build thread
Thanks Matt, glad your enjoying the thread. On the front cross member I built be aware that it be about two inches lower than a stock cross member. This is because it has to go under the radiator rather than in front of the lower tank. It will show quite a bit more. This wont be a problem for me as I have some more mods to do in that area which (I hope) will blend it in.
Everyone feel free to use any idea I post, I've borrowed my fair share. That's what I love about this site and why I started the thread.

I was looking at mine last night. Its on a home made rotisserie i posted here in the tools section. I had some scrap ,2x3, and mocked up my radiator. I may widen the opening for a later dart 26" rad. Its going to be a bit lower yes, but im dropping the car 2" and putting a front lip spoiler from spoilers by randy on it,
I am going sort of a sleeper pro touring. Everything needs somewhat stock appearing. Going to get 17" wheel vintiques steelies, using 67 plymouth dog dish caps, and low profile redlines. Engines going to be a 410" stroker dressed up to look like a 273 commando too. Going to run an OD A 833 in it too.
Figured out the color i am going to use too. 1967 daffodil yellow on the body and on the steel rims, and a stock black bucket seat interior with no console. Only mods on the interior will be a custom made instrument panel with speedhut gages, and shoulder belts from seatbelt planet.
The nice thing about the custom crossmember you made is it appears stock. Since i plan on fogging the front sheetmetal behind the grille black like the factory did, i can hide it pretty well.
Check out the pix of my build under my avatar. Its slow going but its going, and thats a good thing.
