When I was a kid my dad bought a new '70 340 Duster in Hemi Orange. I loved riding around in that car!

 

[jensens ag]

The one i had in high school was stock and run 14.2 at 103.2 in the 1/4 . got in trouble drag racing off of track. I tried to out run cops, hung the speedo needle stright down. Had help in HIGH places to live through that one.

[jensens ag]

Rebuilt the dash inside where its a lot warmer in my gun room.

This is my 1970 parts (donor) car that i use to swap out parts from to build the one i have started in my shop.

 

[sublime green]

that 70 looks good enough to be a car again. Looking good so far though.

 

[clhyer]

Looking good. Keep at it, and keep posting pics!

The shop has been busy, so it took me away from the car so we took time out and built this.

Great start, excellent rotis. That "donor" car of your is in great shape.

Glad I could help with the grille, ought to be a cool ride when it's done...wish I could find "parts cars" as straight as the white car around here!

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jensens ag]

Just got my new rotisserie that we built installed on the car and got started again with help. The Wife,

 

[jensens ag]

Just thought i would also let every one see who there talking to.

 

[jensens ag]

Time to add a little help to the frame. Just a mock up. 1-1/2 x 3 Rec Tube

 

[jensens ag]

All the welders and plasma cutter are in our other shop about 400ft away from where we are now working on the duster. Easier to move the duster than pack all the tools back and fourth.

 

[jensens ag]

Cut out the rear panel and the left rear lower qtr. Got them welded up and welded in 4 speed hump.

 

[jensens ag]

Moved the spring mounts in line with the frame. Welded in the frame supports and got some clean up started on the bottom.

 

[jensens ag]

Well it was a long day but it was a good one. Got tied up waiting for parts in our AG shop so i took the day and built my 340 for the duster. Wanted the engine to stand out a little with engine bay painted hemi orange.
