Swapped to Muscle - 75 Duster Daily build
To continue on, I also found a good hood to replace the banged up one that was on the car.
Before the hood swap, it had a big dent in the middle and was warped:
After the hood swap:
Looks good! I kinda like the white color personally.... Think its neat.
Anyways, the 8.8 needed to have the brakes done on it still so that was swapped out and then I was able to get the brakes in the rear buttoned up and bled.
Since getting the suspension and brakes pretty much done, I was dink'in around with the steering in the car (steering wheel) and noticed that the steering wheel would not tighten... Pulled the steering wheel off and its stripped....
Ordered up a used 74 Scamp steering column from eBay and swapped out the rod and kinda rebuilt the column and refreshed it a bit. Though, took me a hot minute to get the steering gear and coupler to mate up.
