Hello A body friends! I have been into Mopar trucks for the past 20 years and have finally decided to do the car route, even with my wife's blessing! After searching, I ended up buying a 1970 duster. Was originally a /6 car, three speed on the floor. Now has a tired 340, 4 speed. Has a 8.75" in it and disc brakes.

Going to put a 440 in it becuase I have a fresh one in the garage! I'm a rookie so I will be asking many questions!!!

First question: does anyone make repro fenders for Dusters? Door skins?

Glad to be part of the A body family!:newb:
 
Welcome aboard :cheers: We have many great members and tec help here
and a few from Michigan :hello1:
Repop fenders and door skins should be out there some where, but I would bet a few members here have what you are looking for.
Jump on in and enjoy this great site :happy1: and look in the for sale forums and be sure to post in the wanted forum so the members that are pulling parts know what you are needing :D Welcome from Arkansas
 
Welcome Pauly

Had a 70 duster 6/3 on floor in the 70's

Would guess there is sheet metal, but you can probably find some good used too

Ask away on the ? Lot of good people and info from the members here
 
Welcome aboard from Westland! Sounds like a good project you've got there. Keep us posted with your progress with lots of pics!
 
Where in Michigan? A few years ago a friend was trying to sell alot of nice Dart/Duster sheetmetal. I know he had some good doors. If you are close enough to pick it up I could run over and ask him.
 
West Side of MI. I live in Holton. 49425. Just getting into the car - drivers fender is the worst one - lots of dents. Passenger side looks pretty good but have to get through all the paint and primer to see what I have to work with. Looks like the car got hit on the drivers side at some point - has a new quarter on it and someone tried to put a skin on the door and failed miserably!!! Need a front bumper also - maybe a hood - mines got a few dents in it!
 
Welcome to the FABO family, pauly.
As for the sheet metal, i am not aware of anyone reproducing these parts yet.
Maybe check out AMD and i think they will be reproducing the door skins soon.
It shouldn't be too hard to find good original parts though.
As for the big block swap, there is a section on here for that with a lot of good info, or go to bigblockdart.com
How about some pics?
 
Welcome from Downriver Michigan Pauly! I myself am fairly new to this site. Alot of great people and information. I recently picked up a Plum Crazy '71 Duster with a 340
Good Luck with your project!
