Just thought i would ask if any body knows who made these pistons ?? also have a Dimond with a T in the middle of it on the under side.

It's originally a TRW number, if I'm not mistaken they are part of Federal-Mogul now...or vice versa. Nice to have a face to put with the name and voice.
Just out of curiousity, why didn't you use the white parts car? Or is there damage the pic didn't show? No title?
I just wondered.

The white one has no title and a little rot on both rear lower quarters not bad. Its a fixer upper fore some one.
 
Stop making it look so easy dang it! Just kiddin of course, it's coming along real well, and I know the finished product will be great!

Just thought i would make room for some larger meats. Will reuse the inter part of the finder and add in about 2.75" spacer.

great job so far. I miss the west coast. Father just moved here from Hermistan a few years ago.
I misst the rolling hils, mtn.s and the Columbia. Beautiful out here!
That and the fact that you can still find old A bodies in fair shape! That Donor car is in better shape than most build cars here on the east coast! LOL
 
Getting any thing done with the way money and time is, its hard to do.Gathered up some steel and got the wheel wells welded up, Got a lot of clean up to do yet. Then i will be ready to seal all the seams and paint the bottom of the car.

All the metal mods are finished so i thought i would seal up the bottom. Then i can get started on floor pans for rust seal, as well as the trunk.

It has been a busy summer not getting any thing done on the duster,so time to see if any one has a set of 373 gears for 741 case
 
Well i got time to get the slots cut for the headliner bow pockets. Changing from 73 cardboard to 70 cloth headliner. Lots of changes to be made when you make a 70 out of a 73 Duster, but hay any progress is good'''''.
