I just started a new duster project for me and am pretty excited about it. Anyways it a 74 duster body /6 auto car. It needs a little bit of body work pretty minimal considering some Ive seen. Its originally b5 blue which until I got a pint of paint to do the engine bay didnt know there was two b5 blue and early one and then a darker later one which I used, first time I ever painted with a gun and I think it turned out well. After building and constantly working on my dads mopars I wanted to build myself another one so I traded him a motor/tranny out of one of my stangs (victor jr headed 351w/new c-4 w/brake) for this body,another body for parts and the drivetrain and all misc nuts bolts to make it a driver which I thought was ok. and two 883s one overdrive one not, and an 8 1/4 with and auburn in it.
The 360 runs great and we've had it a while went 14teens with a stock 904 and 3.91s in a scamp we had it in yrs ago w/small drag radials. I got the high back buckets that r in it and a set of new ACR seats (cheap race looking seats) and almost a complete black interior(need a new headliner) a cool stock radiator and a bunch of other stuff and hes buying me the stuff to paint it which is a bit of money too plus its family and he said the deal isnt done til the car is complete and Im happy with it which I thought was really cool. Im just gonna build a fun driver out of it Im gonna put a small xtreme energy cam in it( like the 262 maybe the 268 but it dunno how itll work with stock 360 w/headers), the cast iron 4bbl intake thats on it til i get something better a 750 holley a friend built for me and a small plate kit I just traded some other parts I had laying around for. Thats combo with a 4spd and the rear with 3.91s should be fun. Prob wont be actually raced at the strip to see what it'll run then just a driver/support rig when we have the other cars (read the fast ones lol) and just general cruising. I dont know what stripe kit thats going on it as its wont be a nubers matching anything so I can do what I want with it as far as stripe kit. Had a half vinyl top which isnt going back on neither are the pcs that went on the rocker panels. i have a good grill for it and Im gonna put 295-50-15s in back and something kind skinny(not pizza cutter) up front maybe 14in up front we will see what I find I like. Its a long ways from being done hopefully by summer itll drive under its own power I just need to get a clutch. Heres a cpl pics of my new junk lol.
Ill post more as I make progress. I have an exhaust system thatll bolt right up to it, its dumped right now but Im gonna put tailpipes on it with cool factory tips hopefully.
