Stopped by the shop this morning. The guys were cutting and buffing. Man that color pops!!!. That was inside. Can't imagine how it will shine outside. Took a look underneath the car. Looks like you used that raptor coating.

Looking great! I just saw the dash article in a Chrysler magazine too. Since you went with the 5 speed, how about some nice black twister hood scoops..Hmmm

HI, I'm curious is all - was it normal for the factory to actually paint all the exhaust manifolds along with the motor?

That must make a hell of a stink for awhile when it fires off !

thanks.

work It looks yellow! work No wait, it looks green? scope Nope....there it is yellow again! GY3 is my favorite color, and it's cool that you got the drivetrain back in on it's birthday. bow

Sorry guys, stagnant for now, first issue is that I'm buried in carb work right now (show season is here and every last minute guy on earth sent me carbs). Not complaining, business is good! But my personal projects have taken a temporary backseat.

Also, I am building a new shop (which is awesome!) and it will give me a nice clean final assembly area to finally get the Duster done when things slow down a bit.

The date coded glass set just arrived from ECS so installing all the side windows will be the next big job.
