I bought some more parts, something new, something old, something shiny! Lets start off with some more NOS parts. I found a set of 75/76 Duster Bezels and also the top trim. I then was walking around MoparFest and found these items both from the same vendor. Not a bad haul for $60cdn. The...
Picked up some more parts. I know I know, try and get some work done! LOL Here’s the front brace from XV Motorsports. I also sources a VERY RARE set of NOS 73-76 Duster tail light lenses. Joe    
I’ve been looking for a solution for cleaning rusty bolts. Most of the bolts from the Duster are rusty. Trust me, it’s just a fact of life. I also didn’t want to stand in front of a wire wheel for hours. I saw a post about this product EvapoRust on www.forabodiesonly.com and decided I had...
Well as I’m sure you can tell, I haven’t really started cutting metal and such. I have however saved up and bought some more parts. Here’s my front RMS Alterktion. Then since I went to a different spindle I needed new brakes. Wilwood had some really nice 4 piston Dynalites with 12.19" rotors. I’m hoping...
Still working on collecting parts. I’ve had some relocation boxes laser cut. These should help with being able to fit wider tires under the rear end. Want a set for your car? Email me at riddler_20@hotmail.com Joe

Well after waiting 8 long weeks, the Duster has arrived home. I’m eager to dig in on metal work but I know it’s going to be a long slow process. I don’t have an end date in mind, and honestly I see this as a project for a few years. Money permitting. Here’s what I...
Well I started working some on the Hemi 5.7L to get it cleaned up and converted to a car LX motor. I started by removing the truck manifolds, accessories and motor mounts. While trying to get the pulley bolt out, I broke it. WTF? Right now I’m at the point of getting a smaller puller...
Well today I made it over to the media blaster’s. He warned me that the fender’s were no good. I was heart broken since I knew the car was practically rust free. The fender’s turned out to be not bad at all. Just has some minor waves in the driver’s side and the passenger has...
