life and death of the Duster
What is not shown in the pics is the chassis Damage. The P.O. mail box was on a cement slap that is not in the pics . It tore the 2 inch headers right out from under the bottom of the car plus other suspension damage. So the motor was tore down for inspection. Its fine but you know how it goes. Never leave well enough alone. So besides a drastic weight reduction to the car. And now that the motor is apart. The son is insistent on More Power!
One thing I told my son is it has to be street legal. Or at least some what drive-able on the street . What good is a car you can't take up to the drive-in for ice cream.
Well this body is gone to the grave. The quarter hit was so hard it buckled the floor right behind the shifter. With the the cage in the car and having swing outs that is where the weak spot was in the frame structure. The pole hit the down leg plate in the trunk where the cage was fastened seen in the last pic.
