Father-Son 1974 Duster Project
Agree. You are going to have a lot of hoses and whatnot in there. Maybe shoot the center piece black or the rings black and get a decal for the center to break it up.
I am not going to agree with the bench seat floor shifter, but my reason for doing it had more to do with linkage issues, a big motor, different trans, headers, etc.
Don't over think it. It is supposed to be fun!
