73 Duster 408 project

[SRT_DSTRHOLC]

you said you had a 904 with a TCI deep pan

The duster turned out really well, the 408 call outs sorta blew the sleeper idea though....if you can find a copy of the March 78 Car Craft, they had their "Fine lines" series on A bodies, somebody had a 73 Duster with an 11:1 W2 headed 340 that really tore up the streets.
Flat hood, black steelies with dog dish caps, flat black sidepipes...it was featured in black and white, but I'm guessing it was tan. It made a strong impression on me!
Glad to see the car has turned out so well, I'm jealous....

Nice car!! I am also running a 408 roller and don't worry about the 904 it's a great tranny if you beef it up a bit. Lighter and less rotating mass.

I think the top and older stripe really set the car off.

New steering wheel.

Where did you get that steering wheel? my dart got a factory one on it but needs replaced.

Very nice ride also.

Again Tim is here from Texas He is a grandpa again and Texas where he lives is a long
way away from home, he called and was board so I took the short 20 mile drive and we enjoyed some good food at Skinny J's and a walk threw the fair that is in town, He is know building a 55 chevy truck and I just wanted to say thank you for a great evening and hope he returns to this great site and say hello. Not sure what we will do this evening but I am waiting on a phone call :coffee2:
