Been a long time coming but my Duster is finally on its way for body and paint. Some days I regret cutting up a perfectly good back half car to build this chassis but I like the direction it is going. Have missed the last two seasons of racing while this project eats cash but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Lots of progress at body shop, decided to ditch one piece front end (quality was crap) and went with some fibreglass fenders and have the rest fabricated, the end product will be a little heavier then the one piece front end. Rocker extension and work on quarters nearly completed. Next they will install bumper and fabricate the air dam for the front end. All of the old dents bondo has been removed and metal reworked. Will post some more pictures when the body and chassis is primered

More work has been done on the front end, bumper has been molded in and air dam started underneath, most of body work is nearing completion body man and painter indicate it should be in primer by the weekend. Front end will have option of lift off hood, remove whole front clip as one piece or tilt

Front end is all glass and has used the orginal grille molded into fibreglass fenders. Ended up throwing out the one piece glass front end that I had pruchased as quality and fit was so poor.
