Finally getting to it!!! 1970 Duster 340
Glued my fuel tank insulation mat on today and installed the filler neck grommet. Just have to get a sending unit filter before I can lock the sender in place.
My original Carter AVS carburator tag was missing when I sent it out for restoration. There was a small fragment of the copper colored tag left under one of the screws.
I ordered a reproduction tag off eBay. Unfortunately, I found out the nobody offers the copper anodized color. I was told that the colors available are mostly for big block and hemi cars.
I tried to find a copper looking anodized paint but was unsuccessful. I did locate a shiney copper paint at a local craft shop that came very close to the original color. It's a small detail but I'm trying to keep things as close to original as possible.
My brother and I will be making our annual pilgrimage to Carlisle next Friday. I have my "shopping" list of needed parts that I will be looking for. My list has definitely gotten smaller since last year.
