Turning back the clock
Very good. Butch Leal's 1975 Plymouth Duster NHRA B/MP with the 16-plug Hemi and 4-speed trans.
It's 40 years old and it will take a ground-up effort to accurately restore it to it's 1975 personage.
When we are done it will look just like it did on the covers of Car Craft and the Direct Connection catalog.
We are going exactly by the 1975 NHRA rulebook and many things that were changed or added over
the years will have to go.....all of the fiberglass parts for instance.
It's going to be stripped to it's bare shell and started over to restore it faithfully to it's original 1975 configuration. The hood, deck lid, doors, window glass (lexan), seats, front core support, fuel cell, seat belts, steering column, wiring harness and the wheels and tires will be completely replaced. there will be major changes made to the engine compartment tin and tunnel, the rear (tailight) panel, roll cage and rear suspension, I have the correct transmission and have purchased a bell housing. The engine will be built from scratch. I am looking for a set of Hooker Super Comp Headers for this application (no longer made). A lot of stuff can happen to a car in 40 years. We will be offering for sale all of the parts removed and one of those doors is going to look awfully good on somebody’s wall!
