Father-Son 1974 Duster Project

Have a friend I grew up with that still has his 70 Duster and it has Craigers on it. I always thought the chrome really made the red pop!
Have you considered headers? When I put mine on with 3" Flowmasters it made a noticeable difference. Installed the multi layer metal gaskets and have not had a leak.

We are pretty much decided that we are going with Summit Warrior R/Ts. They are a knock off of an expensive Billet Specialty wheel.

I agree with your thought about the chrome looking great with the E5 Rallye Red. Going to go with chrome bumpers too.
We are going for a real stock-ish look under the hood, so I have sworn off the idea of headers all together. I had a friend back in the day who had headers on his dart that would catch the lip of driveways etc, etc... Our motor is a nice mild build 318. It's got stock valve covers and is painted corporate blue. I'm going to paint the performer intake blue as well to help promoter the appearance of stock as well. And to help hide the intake we will use a stock snorkel air cleaner off a 4 barrel 360 Plymouth Fury. It looks a lot like the 318 2 Barrel air cleaner housing just a little bigger. Going to put extra holes in the housing out of sight in the back to help get more air in there.
