Radial Duster Build

Re: Radial Duster Build - 12/07/14 06:44 PM

Car looks great! Nice fresh clean look!

I like the dash. Who makes the K-member?

I know there are lots of 25.5 pics on the net, but I would have my fingers crossed with a div 6 inspector.

Its not that. The side bars cross in the door opening is so low and toward the front in a barrel roll your legs could come over the bars and out the side. If it was higher and more centered in the opening it couldn't happen. That's why the x in the roof, all the window net stuff has to be in the bars etc. They want you and all your limbs to stay inside the cage.

Re: Radial Duster Build - 12/08/14 09:50 PM

im not worried about the cage not passing at all.. has already been looked over..

unlimted glass hood, trunk lid, and bumpers came in this morning.. decent quality, will need a little work but nothing to bad.

small update..

more of the steering.. not finished yet but almost, will have a t bolt clamp in 2 spots.

Re: Radial Duster Build - 12/18/14 06:12 AM

When I saw only the title of this thread, I imagined a P&W Wasp in a Duster. I thought, either that's a heck of an engine swap or it's some sort of crop duster.

Re: Radial Duster Build - 12/18/14 06:45 AM

Great build, love it.
A couple of questions;
A - What do you think the car will weigh
B - Why two master cylinders? I see some race cars with two or three masters.

Keep the updates coming.

Posted By: rgreule

Re: Radial Duster Build - 12/18/14 07:10 AM

im not sure what it will weigh.. id guess 3200 or so maybe more.. and it has a master for the front and the rear.. because for one that is all i could find from wilwood and for two it will have dual calipers in the back to help with building boost before i get staged..

Posted By: 6PKRTSE

Re: Radial Duster Build - 12/22/14 07:34 PM

NIce build. Alot of similar stuff I have done on my Challenger. I have to agree with SDaurity on the door bars passing in some areas but if your guy passes it that is good for you.

Re: Radial Duster Build - 12/24/14 01:02 AM

Got any pics of how you put the front leaf spring pockets into the frame? Want to see if how I am planning is close to what you ended up with. You running a 20 inch front segment? I have 25's and want to end up with 3 holes for adjustment in the pockets. Thinking about sinking my rear sliders up into the rails like you did but having the ability to adjust them height wise some.

Posted By: rgreule

Re: Radial Duster Build - 12/31/14 05:07 AM

new hot side is all finished.. turned out great imo..

set the grill in it to get a glimps of how it will look.. pretty excited

a few more of the engine bay almost finished.. next is change the fire wall to get rid of the old steering, and brake holes..

steering stuff looks good in there..

thats all for now.. gonna get a bell 3.25 radiator care and do a custom radiator that will fit better and work better, got to raise the tunnel a little under the back seat and probably do something with the front so the tires dont hit the inners if it ever comes down hard or something..

thanks for looking

10 head bolts just like a SBF.. and there is alot of turboed SBF, i dont think ill have any issues, especially with good studs and good MLS gaskets.

Re: Radial Duster Build - 01/03/15 02:45 AM

hoping for the best

I was just surprised that hadn't been mentioned... I know of one build that will be using a procharger where the owner sold off his W9 heads in favor of the thicker/heavier cast W8 as they would hold up to the task better. I'm an N/A dummy so this boost stuff is way out in left field for me

. Interesting build and look forward to more updates

Re: Radial Duster Build - 01/03/15 10:30 PM

The car looks great one thing I noticed is that the motor plate is behind the mounting tabs, placing the tabs behind the motor plate makes easier to remove the engine

Re: Radial Duster Build - 05/15/15 08:45 PM

small update.

i decided im gonna need more room up front for the custom radiator and fan setup. so i cut the front core support off and am going with a tubular setup to hold the radiator and grill etc.. it allows me to move the radiator foward like 3 inches till it is about .25 inches behind the grill.. will be nice having that extra room around the engine..

no pics of the tubing stuff yet but there will be...

a small update:

the radiator is finished.. started as a bell core. still need to do the tubular radiator support but its slowly but surly getting closer to being torn apart for body and paint..

-20 upper and lower

Posted By: 1967dartgt

Re: Radial Duster Build - 08/26/15 04:57 AM

I run -16 on mine, works fine on the street. You have the added heat of the turbo so it might be a good idea.

a small update to the build.. havent got much done as of late.

got a gen1 camaro chin spoiler and i think its gonna be a nice but subtle add on to the front of the car.

also santa came a little early and dropped off a cool new part for the car last week..

Details on the turbo, and the plumbing tube sizes?

Re: Radial Duster Build - 12/13/15 04:05 AM

this specific turbo pictured is long gone and my billet 85mm borg is on the way.. the charge tubes are 3.5 aluminum. the headers are 2 inch primaries with 2.5 collectors with 2.5 to the divided flange.

Re: Radial Duster Build - 12/19/15 05:17 AM

I think the multi tone silvers look nice on modified cars. Either that or a factory style scheme (I think the factory got it right in 71) Sassy Grass with the V24 hood blackout package looks pretty awesome on a stock or a modified car.

I definatly want to go with a factory styling of a 71 with the stripes and black out.. just can't decide on the base color..

Posted By: ScottSmith_Harms

Re: Radial Duster Build - 12/20/15 04:59 AM

Well in that case......Here's my favorite list:

#1. Black......Looks killer in pictures and the first day you paint it, then you have to be ok with a million imperfections, because you will see more every time you look at it! In other words, my favorite just as long as someone else gets to take care of it

#2. Tie between FJ6 Sassy Grass and GY3 Curious Yellow (IMHO)

#3. EV2 Hemi Orange

#4. FC7 Plum Crazy

#5. A modern blend of one of the above, similar color overall but more "pop" with pearls and metal flake additives.

*Special note: I don't think Viper Red or Viper Blue looks right on an older car, you see it all over the place and it sort of has a "cheap" look IMO.
