1972 Duster Build with my Daughter
Kaelyn has been a trooper this week. She has spent time blasting everyday she has been home.... She is doing an outstanding job.
The engine will be loaded in the Element tomorrow afternoon and dropped off at the machine shop. Bruce says he is working on my Toth Performance Street Fighter Heads and the intake will be in Friday or Monday to port match the manifold too.
Santa came today with the first batch of parts! We should be painting next weekend and assembling the K-Frame and front suspension parts over the 4th holiday!
Started to mess around with getting the inner fender out of the Dart... Got lucky with the first few spot welds!
Lastly we had a scare... I noticed the compressor seemed like it was running too long and not shutting off.... The motor started grunting then stopped and shut down... I thought the pump seized. We ran the air down and let it cool off and it restarted.... I think the pressure shutoff switch got stuck and it did not shut off at 150 lbs..... That would be a major stoppage if I had to fund a new air compressor.....
We also got the rebuild kits for the Federal PS pump and the brake calipers.
