BobsProFab steering column mod, before paint.
Bob is this something you can install your self or did you have to send it to bob to install? also if it wouldn't cost a lot of $$$$$$$$ to ship. i have a front windshield out of a 72 duster you could have. the car is looking great and cant wait to see it all done. mopar65
Bondo sent me the pipe and told me about where to cut my column, then this pipe slides over the steering column, fit it in the car, and weld around it. It makes the steering tighter and was an easy way to use my power steering column with this manual steering car. Plus it allows more room around the headers.
Where are you located? I'm in Akron Ohio, it would probably be expensive to ship w/o breaking it. Windshields new are only around $125, its the $100 gasket and paying a pro to install it that kinda stinks lol.

You'll have to try to get ahold of Bondo, I honestly can't remember the price, it was definitely cheaper than the flaming river piece. This was one of the first things I did to the car about a year ago.

GREAT LOOKING CAR !!! It looks like mine only mine has a Black vinly ( sp ) Top. Mine was auto but changed to 4 speed. I had to replace the trunk floor the floor inside and the cross member a lot of work but this is what I wanted. My first new car was a 70 340 auto Duster lime green with the black top so im making this one as a clone of it except for the 4 speed. I have a couple of guestions for you. I put my gas tank in yesterday an the filler tube is my question is the filler tube flang on the inside of the trunk? That's how I put mine in but my gas cap sits in side the body to far. I think I have the right cap it came with the car. I hope you understand what I mean. Its not flush with the quarter panel. Do you have the engine harness from your car. I tried to buy a new one from Classic Industries but they do not have one listed for a 71. I might call Evans and see if he has one I think one for a 70 should work.I wanted a 340 for this car but for now I have a nice warmed up 318 that will work just fine. I all ready have a drag car to go fast in this will be a cruiser. I also have a 72 Duster Twister Plumb Crazy they should look good together in the garage. Sorry for being long winded just LOVE MY MOPARS.One more thing I talked to you at Norwalk about 10 years ago I had a 73 Duster that was yellow and purple you might not remember that was a long time ago. Thanks Don
I do not have any harnesses for the car, if I did I'd give it to you. The filler neck flange is suppose to be on the outside of the body, mine is on the inside like yours, I used a brand new gasket on the fuel tank and even with a little oil on it the filler tube was a super tight fit. I knew I'd scratch my paint if I wrestled with it so I just put it inside. I'm using a locking type fuel cap so it won't cause me any problems.
