Project Dusterbd
 

Been working on this project slowly for a year now, its a 1970 plymouth duster. Just wanna show some progress pics and the great condition of paint and body.

Recently dropped in, no tranny yet

The 904 tranny is half built, waiting for thrust washers. The 8 3/4 rear end is partially built, just have to set backlash and paint a pattern. Have to get the front disc brakes on, getting a sump welded in the tank. Still have lots of small and big things to go.

Looks like a fun project :cool: .

Just a reminder this is a budget build that an average guy would do, no crazy custom fabrication, just make it look
nice and go as fast as I can afford.

Looks great! Almost there!:cheers:
