Long time listener, first time caller

[Swampchickenfxr]

I figured since I'm in here all the time, I might as well go ahead and make an account.
I recently picked up a '73 Duster, and this forum has been a great resource so far.

As you can tell, the PO put on a '72 front clip. He also put in a 360 out of probably an early 80s pickup. I haven't tried to run the numbers on the block or anything, but it's got a quadrajet on it.

My plan is to make a fun street car that's just a little rowdy in town, but can cruise comfortably down the highway.

It's gonna be a slow project, but it'll be fun

I thought my GF was a real slut when she called my her sixty second lover...


Until I realized she meant TIME...

I personally like the front end of that Duster over the '73 it came with. Looks like a grille off a '70? Nice looking car. Sounds like it's gonna be a fun project. Good luck on the build.

That's probably where I heard it to be honest. I loved that show when I lived in Michigan. Thanks for the nostalgia boost haha

For sure, the 70-72 front looks a lot better. I've got a lot of plans for it, but for now just focusing on getting it reliable
