Duster Resto-mod Build by 76orangewagon

3 minute(s) of a 92 minute read

My correct length 6 rib serpentine belts (26.7") from KRC power Steering showed up and I finally had a chance to make sure everything is bolted down and works the way it should before I paint or polish everything. I also picked up a Billet Specialties Black Formula D shaped steering wheel with Contrasting Cuts that match up pretty well with the dash and Billet buttons.

Here's an update on the roll bar support brackets, I re-made them and got them welded in, the new design not only looks better but without that corner sticking out should be more convenient for rear passengers. I stopped by Summit Racing and picked up a Chassis Engineering main hoop for an "A" body Mopar ...as you can see it was too long to fit on top of the brackets so I'll have to take 3" off each leg and make a jig to hold it so I can widen it at the bottom by about 2.75"per leg so it's tucked in close to the interior panels. I will be on a 5 month Military Deployment soon so the build will be coming to a halt, and I just accepted a position at Patrick AFB, Fl starting as soon as I get back...so the future of the car is unclear, I was offered $15K Thursday night for the car the way it sits, after I chuckled a little I said "That's what I have in the engine and that's not including all the custom made parts on it".3-22-2014
