Rapom's Rocket - just another Duster build thread

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. Went on vacation for a week to Glacier National Park and visit relatives. I started to come down with something so we decided to cut our trip short a day. Woke up the morning of the 11 hour drive back home in the full grip of the flu. What a miserable experience that was. All over that and back to work on the car again so I'll be posting updates more frequently.

DionR - I searched Ebay for wiring suppliers and purchased from two sources. 20' of 1/0 cable through acdcelectricparts for $53 (free shipping) and 25' each of red and black 4awg cable from temco_industrial_power for $53 + 5 for shipping. That was plenty of wire length to do the car front to back. Had an issue with temco's shipping as they coiled the wire up in a tight roll and stuffed it in a shipping bag. The outer coils of wire got quite beat up from the lack of protection. They offered to replace it. If ordering from them I would get assurance that they would box it first.

Just been doing some cleaning up of surface rust and painting in the front wheel well areas. Removed the UCAs and pressed the bushings out in prep for painting and installation of the MOOG K7103 offset bushings. Need to borrow my friends ball joint socket to get the old uppers out and the new ones installed. Then I'll probably temporarily install the engine and K to finish up a bunch of wiring and other niggly items needing attention.
