Last planned project car.

[MMissile]

I'm pretty well used-up mentally, physically, and not liking the cost of the old cars anymore. I bought a 71 Duster from N. Kally, and am building a patina'd drag/streetcar. This is my last planned old car. It should be done by late-spring 2024.
Solid Duster
full moly cage
452 CID Small-block mopar
ATI Turbo 400 trans
Strange Eng. loaded Dana 60
Cal-Trac suspension with Afco shocks
Rebuilt coated frontend/ Strange Eng parts
4-wheel Strange discs
All new interior
New wiring
New plumbing
Lots of fabbed, machined, and lightened parts
Typical racecar components thru-out.

Thanks for the kudos...
Color?.....you're looking at it. We put flattening-agent into the orange under the hood and trunk. I'm tired of my jewelry cars. This takes me back to my roots of old cars [no money for paint-jobs back then]....but a lot faster and nicer. 50 years of this stupid mopar thing. It was time for something different. LOL

Everything except the outer sheet-metal will be mint/restored to some point.

Flat Primer Black is my favorite, can be applied roadside with a rattle can or huffed on a rag

I know too many people with flat-black cars. Maybe it's the huffing.....
