1974 Duster build
Well... Not too much to update at the moment. The 408 build is (very) slowly coming along. Mainly due to parts on back-order and high shipping costs.
I tried ordering a headliner from Layson's, apparently their supplier has skyrocketed in price due to rising material costs, shipping has skyrocketed due to rising fuel costs, in fact it has more than doubled in some areas.
So it's not just them that are affected by what is going on sadly. Hughes Engines has almost the same story. I did finally get my camshaft from them.
There are others as well and it seems like it's the smaller businesses that are affected.
Sheesh! I really thought about hanging up the riding gear for motorcycles permanently, that is until now.
$75 to fill 13-14 gallons and only get about 11 mpg town, 16+ mpg freeway. VS. 5 gallons and getting 32 / 43 mpg (cty/hwy) on my 1700cc beast.
