1972 Duster Build with my Daughter
Daughter is camping out at her best friends all weekend for her birthday. I have my orders what NOT to work on so I spent some time today converting the '72 to a '73 AC box that I pulled out of the Dart...
First I wanted to see how different they were.... Made a mask of the Dart firewall...
Then stuck it on the Duster. Big difference between '72 and '73.. After spending some time thinking about the best (easiest) way of doing this I just dug in and bit the bullet...
Lets just take it ALL
Lay it up on the Duster and mark the outline.
Then I cut WAY inside the marked line.
Spent a lot of time getting it fitting nicely on the top edge by the wiper motor.
One I got it laying flat I pressed it to the old metal and sprayed some primer on it to mark where I needed to cut the firewall to match the patch.
Now just cut out to the paint line.
