It.......

Nice '72! I always end up with cars that need both mechanical/electrical and body work.....and I'm no body man. Don't get frustrated as you have what I consider the best year duster ever made. Of course, that's my opinion and you know what they say about opinions, lol!

These are 36 years old and just the fact that it's still running is a tribute to Mopar engineering. These guys never thought, nor even imagined that these cars would still be haulin' *** when most of them are retired.

Another thing I noticed too...... Compared to my 2 year younger Ramcharger, the A bodies were much better made. Much more care seemed to be put in the spot welds, panel alignment, etc. It might have to do with the uni-body design requireing closer tolerances. I don't know for sure not being a Chrysler engineer.

I can tell you this......I shut the door on my $500 Duster project and it has this beautiful, tight "thunk" that just brings back memories of how cars should be made. My DD Toyota 4-Runner sounds like a tin can when I slam the door and it's a '88. No "American Steel" went into that thing. I feel like I'm going break it and have to treat it with kid gloves.

Be proud and fix the little stufff. I'm sure it's not a big deal and thank your lucky stars you're not trying to restore a '72 datsun, lol!
