1970 Duster project in Sweden
Since the photos in my early posts in this project thread won't show anymore (since the change to the new forum) I thought I do a little recap here.
The day I picked it up
Engine bay was a mess
A little better at least
I liked the idea of having 225 on there. Sometimes I miss that /6. It was such a great driver.
But out it came!
Time to clean!
I honestly cant remeber what that white stuff is. Maybe rust stop!?
I wish I did this better, and in the right color haha!
The little 273 commando came out of my friends Dart
And went into the Duster
I never liked the color I sprayed it in, I also did a poor job... Well, we sometimes have to learn the hard way.
Swapping out the 7.25 for a 8.75
Moving the shifter from the tree to the floor
Outdoor cam swap!
I really like mags. Working on polishing the front one's. Someone sprayed clear coat on them.
These bad boys looked so great on the car
With my friends at the drag strip. My first time there. Nothing impressive, I still had 2.76 gears.
This time around I had the solid cam, 3500 stall converter and 3.55 gearing. After the first run I had no third gear and no reverse. So that summer the was expensive...
This summer I did some detailing on the engine.
Just a recap of some of the stuff. I've had it for 10 years now. I now have a 10", 3000 stall converter and 3.73 gearing and a Street Demon Carb. This winter I have turned the attention to some rust issues and also fixing up the interior.
