It was suppose to be built for drag week .

It was cool

Last I knew the heads were leaking water and were ported too far....Never heard what the plan was, and never saw it again.

I loved the car, but would have done two things differently....Would own it in a heart beat if I could. Its a drag week car and is one of my life goals.
-I would have only run one procharger and saved on the weight and complexity
-I would have switched to Predator heads

I know at one time he worked overseas which i am sure made things more difficult.

It would be nice to have an update.

Last information I recall was that car had been switched to hemi power ? That was years ago. Good chance car is sitting ( they tend to cost less money that way ) and hopefully we will see it making passes again in the future. Got to give the guy credit he took this project a long ways a really big undertaking.

Looks like he hasn't posted here on Moparts in a long time. I was really looking forward to seeing that car make a statement on dragweek over the turbo cars. Seems like he never got through the issues of the new build but I believe he does still spend the majority of his time overseas. It's been a few years since the twin F2 setup was sold and there was talk of turbos. He is still active on FB but not a lot of updates on the car. https://www.facebook.com/dusterdj572/

Thanks for the FB link now i'm a follower....Lol

I see he switched to a Hemi in the FB link.....

Another high profile build that never even got its feet wet.

Apparently he left this site because of the negative flack. Very nice build on the car.

A lot of people get in over their heads with some of these builds. I may be mistaken but I think I saw this one for sale on Facebook

There was huge “hype” around that ride at one time.... almost like when Wes built that BA tan 73ish Dart.

After looking at his website, DusterDJ, I see the car was built by Jake's Performance. He was the one murdered over a craigslist deal a few years ago. Not sure if that has anything to do with the car being successful but worthy of noting, I think.

Miss Jake. DJ would have me go get pics of the progress when it was being built as Jake kept forgetting to.LOL.Last I knew the twin prochargers were ditched and it was going to be Hemi powered and a set of twins. DJs B-day was yesterday and hes still in Europe working. I "think" it went to Abel Performance(?) to be re done.I have no idea what the status is on it. FYI Jakes Performance Fabrication is still in business cranking out awesome craftsmanship worthy of his name.

Yep. Big talk of making a statement on DragWeek, but year after year after year it never showed.
Must be a grudge racer thing...a whole lotta talk, but at the end of the day there's nothing but crickets.

Nothing against anyone that has taken on one of the high end builds, but it's no where near the same as building a 10.00 car. Even after the car is built, the money flow, is just starting. Dialing in a combo like that is not easy, nor cheap. It also requires a LOT of help from other people. If you do not have a couple competent people helping you, it just doesn't get to a point of where you are happy with your investment. The money drain just burns people out.

Or you keep plugging away at it and enjoy the journey.

I wish I had help. It would have been easier.

I just don't get all the hype, making claims, and then never backing anything up. All the "look at me" build posts and then bam...nothing.

like they said its not easy im sure things came up life work and stuff but this site aint easy on people either

AMEN!!! Kinda right where I am at right now.
