you bet....I prefer those stationary creepers, the ones with casters do not give me the necessary leverage required at times. They keep trying to spin me out.

I was looking all over the picture for a insulated creeper. That was funny.
My goodness that's going to be one fine Hot Rod.
Had a lot of help and motivation...a lot from Butch, plenty from personal friends, but a good amount from you guys on FABO. Always amazed, rarely disappointed. (How did I do on the humble meter?)

Do Dr. Diff's offset hangers move the springs in a full 3/4", or is it 1/2"? I'd like to get 275/60-15's under my Duster if using those will get me there without mini tubbing. I'm kinda over the back in the day trick of using a B body rearend with the 44" spring perches....shove till it lands on the pins and then use air shocks to get the L60's to fit! LOL Butch's car is looking great!
ya, the frame rail is in the same place no matter where they decided to measure from

Awesome work Denny, I haven't given up on my 70 RR and the CO front end, I just got swamped with other things plus I picked up a 71 Charger that I am going to put a 5.7 into. The 71 will take far less fabrication than the RR so it got moved to the front of the line.
I like the silver dash!

Good eye......and correct, it is the 71 pattern. The buckets started out as driver quality /survivor 71s from a friend and I added the rear covers to match the 71 fronts. Scored a July 4th special on new front covers to match the new rears and make them all brand new. Kinda fitting for this ride. Butchs original Duster was a 71, updated for the 72 season with a Sharktooth grille and 72 taillights / tailpanel.
when I bought this hot rod, included in the pick-up truck load of extras was a disassembled 8-3/4 , 3:91 sure grip, Dr Diff axles, and new rear drum brake assemblies. Just needed to move the pads in 1/2" , powder coat the differential, add axle seals and brake lines, and assemble. Now its ready for the Duster.
Movin right along! Lookin great!
Yeah to heck with more cowbell. lol
It is all about attitude...and no excuses. Just when I thought I heard them all, I read a new reason why someone can't get off their azz and do some hot-roddin (work)! These baby's do not build themselves. If you are gonna start a build, finish it, and by all means....enjoy the ride.
