Thanks guys I am getting allot of positive feedback. I open the garage and even dog walkers and skate boarders stop to comment. I just stumbled on this old pic of my youngest. I believe this was the night she snuck off with her stuffed Elephant... as the symbol of the Hemi he was my dash riding copilot. My sis in law had once said that an Elephant with an up-turned trunk was good luck. That night the only drive (or clash with the Cobra) without him ended very expensive, and with me using my tow strap. He never leaves my dash, even at the body shop he was there.

That's funny she is an actual cheerleader on a local team but since she's youngest/smallest she's a "flyer". So she's really my smallest cheerleader... and now that i know your awake I'm checking a certain Duster resto post for paint pics in 5

I had an issue with today's fuel killing my Holley pump. I swapped in a stock pump. I need to see if they make an alcohol compatible diaphram ??

Then Ehrenberg had the same issue and they mentioned the accelerator pumps oops did not think of that. Yes mine leaked the other night.... soooo I pulled one. I should have two holley alcohol compatible diaphrams tomorrow night.

BUT WHAT ABOUT POWER VALVES? MY FUEL PRESSURE GAUGE? Less stress part means not such a big deal?

After blasting and a few coats of clear, should have been satin clear. I saw the metal showed a little staining and I think that added character

I had the wheel well molding semi installed. I completed the Pass side rear and am almost done with the Drivers rear. These are to show that the "Mopar Authentic Reproduction" (by metro I believe) units I bought fit ok for my tastes. Someone more patient or talented could install them even better. Dennis this is for you my friend....

Pass side now where it has a gap is not factory metal but it's still pretty close. It's the lower body curves that seem to be the only tough spot.

EDIT The cars jacked up and suspension is suspended I didn't put in a lift kit

Those fit the best I've seen!!! . Nice work. They look better than mine. They take time and patience but really stand out against that Red.

Thanks Dennis, I wanted you to see this. Six Pack Performance sells them for around $225 I think.

I found the shards of tire decal in the wheel well??

Lookin' good.

The B body ones I bought from Metro are garbage; don't fit, don't have all the holes and the finished "face" is distorted. The ones I bought from Dale's Cuda Shop were far superior.

...just wanted to mention that so that any B body guys reading this don't go off thinking that Metro = good in all cases.

Thanks Dave, I know parts are always a toss up. I used the existing holes BTW, tough but do-able. Hold in place, mark thru the existing wheel lip hole from back, remove molding, drill it, repeat... over and over until it's done, starting from top center

Thanks Dave, can you spill the beans on why you are selling the white Duster, I'm still in shock you sold the yellow one.

F#$%^ing Demon carb. It's about to get adjusted via mini-sledge. Nothing changes the idle circuit vacuum. Power valve seemed blown... the more ya turn the screws in it goes hog wide on vacuum, all the way in, eng still runs...and better. Pulled the PV and you could suck air thru it, all the BS and the new valve does squat. Shavings in it?????
