LOL. Thank you for the info and the link. I think that scamp would look killer with that grill. Yours is the purple/ white top? Very clean.
Oh, Wow Man. That looks great. Were u able to use the 70 headlight bezels?
Thanks for the info bro - You both did a great job. I hope this one turns out half that good - I already bought a gallon of metallic silver paint, and I've already started painting. So, the grill might not stand out that much - But I'm gonna do it anyway. The old grill was black and I was gonna keep it that way, but I accidentally dropped it today and that was that. After 50 years cooking in the So-Cal High Desert; It was already very fragile to say the least. Heh, heh. I saw the sharktooth grill while shopping this evening and my thoughts began to wander. Appreciate it man. You're a big help.
Nice! Super clean. Looks great. thank you
Heh, Heh... That figures - story of my life. I don't know why it is: but I got a slightly better deal buying from classic industries through ebay. I just got the grill, lense covers, and those little clips along the bottom of the grill. I work at a auto parts store and I'm hope to get the pigtails for the blinker lights in-house and save a few mor bucks. $767 and some change Classic industries web site would've been $10 more. It took me 20 minutes of back-n-forth on the internet last night to save the $10 bones, but I'll take it. I guestimate this cost me about $200 more than just replacing the stock grill and re-using the old lens covers.
Mine doesn't require alterations to fit into a 70'... other than the 70' turn signal sockets won't fit into a sharktooth grill. And the 73's have that little point in the center grill/bumber/upper vallance. Not sure how far you'll have to go w/alterations to make it fit. I think if that's all you have to change/ you're very lucky you didn't have to change the grill supports or anything like that. Sorry that I cannot be more helpful. Chryslers are strange animals. I hope to see a pic after you get it together. Good luck mad dog.

I think you're officially in uncharted territory on this one bro. But it sounds like you're very close to finished now. Can't you just cut out the two places where it hits? A hole saw makes a nice clean opening. Thats' how did my headlight buckets on my Satellite so it would accept those aftermarket "halo" headlights. It looks like the car came that way. Maybe you could do that. You know the one I mean - the hole saw for a drill. Could be anything from 1/2 inch, to 3,4,5 inch etc. Just a thought - I'm no fabricator. Would love to see a pic when you got it done. Good luck bro. I think you got this.
Pretty sure he's got a 73' not a 70'. I could be wrong but I think it's a 73' or 74' And I don't think Chrysler ever made a 350 as you said to "drop in a 350". I could be wrong, but I don't think so. And I know at least 3 other cats here @ A-bodies only, who have put a shark tooth grill on their 70' Dusters, including myself. So, including Mad Dog, that makes at least 5 of us that are changing the look of their cars. And there's a lot more on the internet who did it too. It seems to be a very popular mod for a Duster. I changed the original 225 to a 360 and have a cowl induction hood. Cowl induction hoods were originally designed for GM. I'm committing all kinds of sins. LOL Heck! My bio pic is a B body, and it has a cobra hood scoop. Something that Dodge is copying on their newest challenger/durango/hornet models right now. LOL I don't think anyone really cares bro. We all try to be supportive of each other here. It's all good.
