Thanks for asking.....Well the body is getting worked on, I really like the custom made cowl vent, it looks factory till you compare it to a stock A Body mopar. The spoiler didn't turn out 100% the way I wanted but I might be to critical. All the machine work for the 416" is done and my custom timing cover/motor mount engine plate is in progress...it will have 2" poly bushings that connect it to the custom K frame to help eliminate vibration (see pics), the white paper is the pattern for 6061 aluminum plate that wil be .875" thick and match up with the overhang of the Edelbrock heads and then radius out to 2" thick for the timing cover. It should be pretty unique once complete.

Here's some pics of the interior stuff, I took the new Cipher auto seats to the local upholstery shop so she could match the rear to the front pattern and also remove the front wings (1st pic) that I wasn't the biggest fan of, The rear seat turned out nicer than the fronts so I took the fronts back again to make them as equal to the rear.
I have been working on the custom dash, I decided to go with all push button, no pull knobs here. I got all the custom Autometer gauges wired and all the relays to the switches, theres one less headache to deal with.
I had a Duster for many years and sometimes wish I still had it. I like the direction you're going with this project. Looking Good!
Thanks,
It won't be the baddest or fastest Duster once completed, but with several hundred modifications... it will definatley be unique and hard if not imposible to copy. There are several one off parts through out the build.... some are obvious, most are not. Heck I forget half the time all the changes I made.
