My Pro Street Hemi Duster
Hey Guys, finally got around to posting some pictures of my HEMIDUSTER :icon_smi:. Just a little background, I bought the Duster when I was 18 (1982) in pieces (motor, tranny out, no seats etc) and over the years got it to the state it is today. The Duster has an orginal 426 HEMI, HEMI 4-speed with the big bad DANA 60. Obviously, I haven't been working on the Duster since 1982 but was able to hold onto it thru my young adulthood, my career, marriage, raising two boys, divorce etc.
Put the motor in the car for the first time in 1995 (the car was black then). I will never forget the first time I heard MY HEMI run and the frist time I drove the Ultimate Warrior. (Wish this site was around back then)
In 2004/05 my sons and I decided that it was time for a change. We decided to go with an original type paint scheme (SUBLIME) and full interior. Here is the somewhat finished product.
This past weekend, I took it to the Mopar show at Big Daddy's with my two sons (16 & 15). This was the first time, the Duster had ever been to a show and in extended public view. The boys and I had an awesome weekend. I left there thanking the man upstairs for holding on to it and never selling it.
It has been a long ride that probaley will never be over as there always seems to be something to improve on. Hope you like it. MOPAR OR NO CAR!!!
FYI, got a 70 Dart for my 16 year old that we are in the process of completing (motor swap (6 to 360), front disc brakes etc). MOPAR and A bodies are in the family!!!!
