If you really want accurate you'll need to find a survivor with original hood paint and take some dimensions. I've seen a couple and the decal placement varied. The example posted above is a reproduction, it's in the general area of correct but since it's been replaced it shouldn't be used as a reference to correctness. Also, they did not have the orange/red colored "wedge" lettering, originals were all white.

You might want to ask Ryan on this board, I believe his was pretty original before he restored it. He may have the dimensions.

I've been looking at these cars since the early 90s and placement definitely seems to vary, but I think most people put them way too far front.

... then again... People might be placing them so far front based on the original ad. (?)

Thanks!!!

All the photos and impute really help. Think I'm going to go with what looks best when I'm applying the decal. Hard call like the look of Jason's but the orig. hoods seem to placed back and towards center.

Tommy, a couple of the car when I brought it home 16,000 miles lots of original paint but not all, hood was replaced and repainted due to the addition of Twister scoops and holes being cut into hood.

Too much going on right now to get it ready for Purestocks but I hope to be up and running and on the track by the end of the year.

Thanks again for all the replies!

I think I saw that car at the Mopar Nationals YEARS ago, like back in the late 90s. I think I have it on video somewhere, but no pics. I remember, low mileage, black, white stripes, orange interior, V24 and wing. Guy was racing it. I thought it had some kind of wheels though... Like polished Centerlines or Welds or something. Nice car! Love the orange interior! 71 Dusters are still one of my favorite Mopars.

Hi Scott,
was looking through this post and noticed your statement about survivor duster picture above and you completely wrong on it being a reproduction. Not sure why you stated that. This is one of the nicest survivors out there as far as being a v24 71 duster 340 4 speed car.

That was not the first photo posted, it was changed after I posted (to your survivor example). Notice how I mentioned the red "wedge" lettering that your example obviously lacks? I am aware that your example is correct, Ive seen that pic of yours many times here on Moparts, I agree, its correct.

The more you look at these pics the more you realize the V24 should have been part of the Duster 340 package
