1972 Duster Project - Back From The Pasture

For those of you who care, sorry for going dark for a while. We have been ready for the initial fire for the past week but have been waiting on a back ordered fuel tank. I should have paid the extra $30 and ordered it directly from AMD for the same damn tank. We would have been able to test fire over this weekend had I done that. This project is mostly:lol: on Lemon Jr's nickle so we're trying to save where we can. He has more time than money.

The tank finally arrived this past Saturday. The new sending unit is installed and the tank ready to go in. We didn't have time to install it this weekend as we had a 300 mile round trip expedition today to pick up a very nice left fender for the car which was needed. Worth the drive for a very good piece of body metal for $100. This guy is parting out 3 Dusters. Let me know if you want his contact info if you're looking for anything. Tons of parts, A and B.

Test fire this weekend for sure.

On a side note, Lemon Junior and I discussed wheel and tire size options during the drive. We have been thinking 15 x 8 all the way around then started thinking 15 x 10 rear, 15 X 8 front. We half @ssed mocked up 15 X 10s on the rear from my Bird (small vs large bolt pattern) and after some research, I think it would be hard to stuff a tire/rim that size under an A body without some surgery. Spring relocate, mini tubes, etc. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The bigger question now is will a 15 X 8 up front even have any rubbing issues.

Any input is appreciated as always.
