1970 5.7 Hemi Duster

great build. i look forward to watching your progress. keep it up :)
 
Love this build! Gotta ask though....does one have to rob a bank to do a build like this? Must be a ton of serious coin involved....
Anyway, great job and excellent work! Can't wait to see the finish. Consider me subscribed!

Thx!
As far as spending, I think restoring any car can add up. I'm doing all the work myself, so I think that helps. I wish I started with more of a complete car though. Best thing is to do some research before you start buying parts. That way you know a good deal when it comes your way. Know what stuff is worth and what you need.
 
Wish I had a tach for that middle hole lol

Awesome build! Im jealous with how plentiful the new gen hemi's are over there! Keep the pics coming
 
nice. dash looks really good with the white gauges and the carbon fiber. cant wait to see it in the car :)
 
Been slowly going at it. Too busy with all the holidays.
I used a champion radiator, I used the one for the b body, it's a little wider, 26", instead of 22" had to do some grinding and adjusting but fit pretty well. Added the over flow as well. Heater is installed.
So as I was trying to figure out how to get the radiator hose situation, champion's outlet and inlet are the right sizes, or on the wrong side, my buddy look at it and said it look just like the thermostat of his 440. So he grabbed his thermostat housing and sure enough, it aligns perfectly, I'm going to use a 440 thermostat. Just worried it may leak. But I'll find out here soon.

Nice build, its coming along nicely! I am doing a 5.7 in a Dart, I feel your pain with all of the clearance issues!
 
Here's a few photos of my recent little projects of projects... Wanted to run a decent stereo without screwing in the dash. So I made an ipad holder in the glove box, I'll add a few more photos this evening of it installed. Found a pioneer radio, that is short based ( so no CDs, only digital media ) it fits behind the ipad, and glove box closed to keep out of site. Been working on some electrical and installing some brake components... Busy summer.

Been working on it. It's starting to warm up and I'm starting to get some free time. I'm start hauling *** on it now. Im tired of watching it sit.

So I've been messing with the duster trying to get the hydraulic clutch set up right. I looked and saw the clutch pedal was a bit cricket. I gave it a slight pull. And found this.

This was my first location, but was advised against it. So I moved it up. Still have to finish install. Also mocking up all the brake bits, I made the mistake of doing all those first. Mounted the proportion valve, the headers ended up hitting it. So I had to move it.

Been a while since I’ve posted. I’ve had problems uploading photos for a while. I’m trying again.
I’ll post some photos with some details.
Car is in for paint.
