1972 Duster, 340/4, black on black (the endgame)
Had a break this week from making guitars so I got some progress going on here. Front clip & rallye dash frame, blasted:
Other than some surface spotting on the outside, those Valiant parts have no rust issues whatsoever :thumbsup: Nice & clean.
Can't say the same for the dash frame...:
Being out of a '68 Barracuda I have to fill the lower dash pad holes anyway so I'll fill the rust holes and pits as well. It's an interior part so I won't have issues with it being exposed to the elements. And it seems I need to find an ashtray from a '67 or a '69 as this one only fits with the lower dash pad on, and the Duster one doesn't fit at all.
Things are moving along again. I'll need to get myself one of those nice little household welders to cover the ignition switch hole and the side marker light holes on the fenders and I have a line on a glovebox trim piece for a Duster rallye dash so I shouldn't have to wreck the Barracuda part. Meanwhile, I still have some filler work to do to the fenders and there's still the hood to deal with.
