Yeah, I'm afraid that's how mine will be once it gets to the point yours is. Being in Akron, you're not far from the Nats in August, you could unveil her there :burnout:

That was and still is the plan....Just not this year, somewhere in the beginning of this tread(over4years ago) I said I was planning on a 2015 debut at the Mopar Nationals, in fact I was just discussing this with Old Man Mopar last week and was telling him it was very doubtful I was going to make it this year. I just have too many commitments to have enough time to get it done.

Priorities.......
I rolled my silver Duster back into the shop today....
first thing i did was measure the rockers......yours is gonna be 2-1/2" lower than the lowest I can get the silver car.......head shaker.

I found these pictures back on page 49...just to confirm the numbers from initial mock-up.
Yeah, better to take your time at this point than rush it and not be happy with it after all the time, effort and money spent.

Exactly....it's not about the end result as much as the journey getting there.

Actually I think it was a line from a car commercial but you were close with the Jesus comment.

It will get there just probably not before the Nats...then we'll all have some satisfaction. On a side note and more importantly, I was very sad to hear of the Passing of Mr. Tom Hoover, Unfortunately I never had a chance to meet the man, just spoke on the phone a few times regarding his motor in my Dad's Dart but it is still sad to hear the bad news of such a legend. R.I.P Mr. Hoover you will be missed.

I haven't had much time for the car lately but did manage to re-make the Water Pump fittings, once everything is mocked up I'll send them out to get anodized all Black.
looks good.

You know that you can get into trouble borrowing parts off of F-35's don't you?

This is budget build remember....I can't afford the cost of F-35 parts......of course it looks like even the Military can't either.

I need to borrow you for a bit to fab some stuff on my duster
This one was a learning process...if there is a second one (and I doubt it) there would be lots of things done differently.....maybe I should send you the fabricated stuff that I didn't use or all the prototypes, that might help.
