Finally paint
Fitted and finished the fender today. we were going to put them on my orange Duster body a get them in primer so I can edge them. The reason to install them is to do the body work and final sand them on a car . But We have another plan. Bring the 70 in and use that car. We won't even have to tape it off. And while its in here we will strip it .
After bringing it in and looking at the car it needs rockers, Quarters and all the floors from front to back. The lower cowl is rotted. I have better bodies.The rear rails and front unitize section are solid as far as we can tell. The drive train is numbers matching 340 4spd. 391's. It started right up and the exhaust is still solid. Its been sitting since the 80's but always started twice a year ,
About 5 years ago I had a 71 Duster here 4spd 391's with a Mopar Performance 380 HP 360 crate motor. Steve and I took them out and the 360 had nothing for the 340 even with the air on. Of course I was behind the wheel of the 340. LOL. It still sounded real healthy today, Its been waiting for its execution. We marched it into the gas chamber today.
I know you all are going to condemn me but its our car and we will do what we want . We have a much nicer car that need this drive train and AC. our investment in the car as of today is minus $1100. . There were tons of extra 70 parts parts that came with it.
With the deal I made to get the car back he paid me to take it. Check out the bunny on the rear. 70's style . I was the second owner of this car in the 80's. and now I am the forth 26 years later and was never put on the road since I sold it the first time . When I first bought it was off the road since 78. The original carb. was in the trunk. I am sure we will grab some trim including the mirrors for the brown Duster. Just saves time locating parts in this mess.
