Before and after evaporust! A lot of the red paint washed off, but as you can tell it covered the whole face of the drum. Original Mopar drums still in spec!

I got my tail light housings replated by Scott Smith, Harms Auto, and they look awesome. I did the reflective paint myself. Time to bolt in the new gaskets and polished lenses!

Thought I'd send out an update. I've been staying off of here lately, as I'm getting fed up with all the BS that goes on this time of year on here.

Anyways, things that are done:
-Motor is back from the machine shop,I should be painting it this week.
-All the chrome and trim is finished and ready to go back on.
-Driveshaft is all redone and ready to go back in.
-All the front suspension parts will be here this week. Along with water pump & exhaust shield.
-All the parts that have been sent out with the exception of the body and the forward light harness are back and ready to be installed.
-The Duster should be painted any day now...

Looks like it's going together nicely. what are you using for an exhaust system?

Thanks! I'm going to use a TTI 2 1/2" with the factory 340 manifolds.

Keep this progress going! Love seeing this Duster come back to life.

Did you get this off ebay a few years ago. Seems I remember seeing it on there...or one similar.

Looks great! Can't wait to see some fresh paint.

Thanks cdp & fc7!
Yes its was on Ebay a little over a year ago.

Its got etch and epoxy primer on it now! Should be red this week!! I can't wait. Its SUPER straight, lots of time spent on crisping up body lines, etc. These pics don't do it justice, they are pictures taken with my phone of our monitor. My wife switched to Ubuntu and I don't have picture resize program for that format yet.

Heres the underside. Its an LA built car.

Heres how it looked in the ebay ad. I picked it up Feb 6th 2011

Wow, it's looking awesome. It's come a long way that's for sure!

Thanks 79Macho! I was really trying to get it done in a year but I couldn't do anything about other peoples delays. I can't wait to get it back and start putting parts back on. My garage has got restored ready to install Duster parts from one end to the other. I'll have room for another car in there once the Dusters finished...

Brent, looking forward to seeing this one come together

As far the new found space, I can help you out with that

Is it red yet????

No..My painter was going to take yesterday off of work to paint it, but couldn't. But it should be red this weekend.

Thanks Dave. I'd really love to have your white Duster in the garage. But I think the next car will be a who cares about originality pro touring machine....probably my Demon 340.

I have one just like it.. How many times have we heard that one..

BUT I DO..

1971 340 4 SPEED

The attachment didn't work. Is your car the same as my Duster or Demon?
