Please feel free to point any errors I may have made, especially in the engine compartment.

Known items to fix:
1) fuel filter and clamps
2) Scoops...thats for Scott
3) Extra clamp on heater hose
4) Need washer lines
5) Radiator cap (its got a temp gauge on it for insurance)

The alternator is a newer unit isn't it? The appearance differs from my late 71 built/dated 72 model.

That's an original washer bottle? The Repop's cap hole is posioned opposite (as per Scott's prior posts)

I believe the battery cable gets a white multi hole strap into the hole in the inner fender. The longer ones yearone sold in their kit are too long

No orange paint on the exahaust manifolds? Nevermind, I see a trace. Forementioned alternator, alternator belt, washer bottle, missing date codes and etc. on plug wires, wrong oil filter, no wheel well blackout, overall looks too clean and shiney ( )

Looks VERY nice Brent!

*did your battery tray have any blackout paint on it?

Thanks guys!!

I forgot about the wire straps, I just need to put them on. Originally mine had 2 black and 2 white plastic loom retainers.

Alt is new, will keep looking an OE one.

Washer bottle is an OE one from a 72 Duster. I have the wiper arms, just waiting on blades.

I may do the wheel well blackout before MATS. Maybe I can find a good hood there too.

The only added "option" items on the car are the Tuff wheel & scoops.

The battery tray was fairly crusty so I don't know if there was blackout on it or not, but still have it so I can look for you.

And quarter window decals

Seriously though Brent, you did an impressive job on your car in record time, it's a very nice example, one of the best anywhere

Thanks Scott! That means a lot coming from you. Now get your Duster(s) done!!

I probably would have put the slots on it if I could have found some decent sized 14" tires. But I'm really happy with OE look. Some 15" Ralley's (235/60 fr & 255/60 rear) will most likely replaced them eventually, giving it that stuffed look.

The attention thats its goten so far has been really cool. Seems everyone has owned a Duster at least once.

Maybe so, but we all would have really liked to have one as nice as yours
