Hello from Kansas

[KS Hcode]

Hey Everyone,

I just brought home a 71 H Code Duster. This is the same car (not his) that I can remember my dad having when I was really little. I am looking forward to embarking on my first Mopar resto journey. I obviously have my dad to lean on for some of the old school info but I am looking forward to gaining the up to date knowledge from this site!

I have a pretty blank canvas to work with as it was a drag car in it's former stage. Lots of parts need acquired to make it street again but can't wait to tear into it! I could use lots of suggestions.

Have a great end of the week.

Dustin

Welcome! Fun project, Dustin! Restoring a Duster with that personal touch is special.

Ok, here are some pics after I got it situated in the garage last night. Long road in front of me but will be a great time!

I was also given a bunch of small block goodies. 4 sets of untouched J/O heads. 2 sets of Eagle forged H beam rods, 2 sets of JE SRP forged 4” pistons, 1 set of factory 340 rods/pistons, 3 904 trans. Needless to say I have enough to get it on the road as soon as I find a block.

And yes, I need jack stands. They are packed away someplace in the basement as we moved 3 weeks ago.

Are you looking to keep all the race car goodies, roll cage, narrow axle, etc. Or looking to bring her back to her former glory.
