Project Riddler's Ride - 1976 Plymouth Duster
Here's the newest update. I know it's been a while but I haven't done much other than buy parts and check out paint shops. The car left a couple of weeks ago as I found a small custom hot rod shop that I really liked. They really only do old muscle and custom paint jobs. In fact they just finished a 67-68 Cuda in order to get the Duster in.
Also in the shop is a 67 Charger with a 5.7L hemi swap. I'll get pics of that next time.
Here's what's going on now.
They didn't like my small patch panels and we agreed on cutting the firewall out and welding in a full size patch.
Just some minor body work. The original lead was left but a quick skim of mud over it to seal it and get it ready for tons of block sanding.
The driver's side fender was way too banged up. The door at one point was out of align and just crushed the fender. This one came from California and is getting chemical stripped and cleaned up.
Finally this is how the car looks during body work.
I've also now purchased the entire fuel system and brake system. When the car comes back from the paint shop with the engine bay and jabs painted I'll install everything needed to get the car running and stopping and then the final paint will be sprayed.
I'm looking at Gunmetal colours but haven't picked one out of the rest yet.
