LOL... I think I pretty much burnt that money tree
to the ground for a while... I can still get my tubing
then I'll need to give it a chance to grow again...
I dont have alot left to buy BUT I still need brakes
and the radiator ... then from there its just small
stuff but it still adds up

When Santa drops off the stuff I will post a pic...
I dont expect the hood for about a week... I didnt
order the front tires cause I want to make sure which
size will clear... gonna be a 25" tire or a 26"...
looks like I'll need to stretch the rear wheel openings
about 3" to fit the rears so I'll start that tomorrow..... more work

I'd like to switch my Duster to E-85 and take a shot at drag week too. Probably not this year though...... 
Good luck Raff!
I'm not gonna run my E-85 carb just the gas 1050
cause I dont know if E-85 will be available where
ever we run this year(if I get this thing done in time)
I'm still cutting apart and nothing seems to be going
together... well I cant really say that... I think
in a week I will have a trans and most likely the
engine done or almost done

Pics would be great - car mods too! Wow, you do know how to have fun  .
This is fun... I enjoy doing this stuff but I like it
when things start going together so you can see progress
and I'm not there YET

I was suprized that AAR(where I'm getting the hood) has only sold one other hood order in 12 years... and that was the guy that was the original purchaser... they had this hood for 12 years and have never had another order for one... this hood normally comes with a 2" cowl but I had him change it to a 4"

I hope AAR does better on shipping for you than they did me  . Great products but their customer service/attitude sucks.
What problems did you have... so far they have been
great... I wanted him to measure the hood so I could
check the measurements off my stock hood and they did
no problem... it measured right on to my hood(maybe
a 1/16" larger)

Everythig was good when I ordered, they had my hood and bumper in stock. After two weeks they had not arrived so I called and was given the run around, three weeks I threatened to cancel the order, they didn't care. It was almost four weeks to get my hood and bumper from Florida to KY, plus there was hidden $20 charge that they forgot to mention.
I hope your order has no problems, but be prepared. They may be so happy to sell something that old that they expedite the shipping before you have a chance to change your mind .
I hope so also... I talked to them this morning because
I wanted to verify what I want... he is changing the
cowl from 2" to 4" and I wanted to make sure... they
said 1 month for delivery which I can deal with

I stopped by their place one time when i was down in FL and they were great. Pretty girl in the office. The office was filled with mopar diecasts and pictures everywhere. felt homey
I might be able to pick it up myself when I'm down
in Florida and strap it to the top of the jeep

They're the cheapo Summit wheels... Pulsar series, I got the 10" for the rear and the 4" for the front... looks like I'll run a 205 tire on the front but still unsure

If I didnt want any changes he has it setting there
but I want 2" more cowl so it'll take a month(maybe
sooner) but I dont really care right now... it'll be
a while before I can set a hood on it

They made a Duster trunk lid for me in a week.
Making it in a week is not a problem, it's the shipping they have problems with.

LOL... I wont have 4.2 grand in this whole build
(well it might be more than that) but this build
is on the cheap... most of this is with stuff I
have laying around so its a double purpose build...
I get a car and clean out parts to make some room
