    Can I use a earlier bumper on my 74 Duster?

    I did this swap, the front was no different on mine. I put a 73 on, it was exactly the same but when I did the swap i removed all the extra supports from it and just mounted it directly to the brackets. The rear was a little harder. You will need the early style, I used brackets and bumpers...

    '73+ Big bumpers- any attempts to change the look?

    on my 74 duster the front wasn't really an issue as it didn't stick to far forward but the rear was horrible. I was easily able to adapt the bumper from a 72 using the early style bumper brackets

    75 to 73 Duster bumpers

    I put an early style duster rear bumper on my 74, it did require some work and the early style brackets but i got it on. It sits a lot closer to the rear of the car and also isn't as wide. It looks a lot nicer in my opinion. On the front i put a 73 and removed all the inner braces, it is...

    drip thread

    Its probably the wiper arm seals, they are a cheap fix but can be a pain to replace. http://www.engine-swaps.com/Pages/ProductsType/GasketKits.html#head1

    Repaint or not? FC7

    When you flip something you make the most money getting rid of it the fastest. Put it together and get it moved. It looks like you can have that thing running and out the door in a few weeks. If you paint it your starting from scratch and probably taking all winter to get it together.

    Repaint or not? FC7

    I'm not a fan of the stripe on the side, however if your goal is to flip this car that paint is petty sharp. I would put it back together and sell it, you probably wont get your money back on it if you repaint it. You can advertise it as a plum crazy car and let the next owner fix it if they want.

    How do the quarter windows in a Duster come out?

    there are several screws on the front edge at the top and at the bottom. They may be covered by weather stripping. On the 74 I believe you also have to remove the plastic trim on the inside because there is also a large screw towards the back of the window that will need removed. Once those...

    Placement for go wing- 73' Duster

    It will probably come with directions that help you mount it in the right location. I bought one years ago and it came with a template as to where to drill the holes. Not sure if i still have that around or not

    Rear Bumper

    In the middle of the same conversion my self, you will have to make a bracket of some sorts because when using the metal brackets only one hole on each side will line up correctly on the car. The other one lands in the spot where the shock style went through the cross member. Not a big deal...

    Help needed finding part!

    Does anybody know where I can find the rubber piece that goes in between the rear bumper and the quarter panel/tail panel? This is for a 73 duster. I searched and can't find anything, I assume its the same piece for the 70-72's also. I know its not really needed but it would help me make...

    How to paint engine bay?

    i am getting ready to paint my duster engine bay body color somebody did it black years ago and it really looks bad. I figured even if i can't match the body perfectly it will still look better then it does now. Plus the cheap black spray bomb paint really holds the dirt!
