Well, all good things must end.....the 1980 Duster project is over. We lost the Duster and our home in a house fire this weekend.

Ok all parts have arrived. I started on the exhaust and cut the 40 series Flowmasters out I am preparing to put a pair of Dynomax Super Turbos (17748 ) There are some issues with the existing exhaust work but with mufflers and tail pipes it will pass inspection.....There just us a bit of...

What do you want for it?

Does anyone have any idea which head pipes might take the least amount of modification to work.... A-Body, B-Body or E-Body? I am leaning towards A or E body head pipes but I am not sure .....I was looking at some pipes from TTI....

Are there any vendors that carry or make interior kits and seat foam for aspens and volares? Are the Duster, RT, RR bucket seats the same as the 73-76 A-body buckets? I have noticed my front seats are in need of foam they feel like....well...... 42 year old seats

Well, exhaust parts are rolling in. I just received my Flowmaster 2.5 inch tailpipes from Summit, and I have a pair or Walker 17749 super turbos coming with the appropriate hangers and pieces to replace the flow master series 40s that were living under the car. Everything should be ready for...

That seems to be the path I am going to take.

Found a NOS wiper switch in the box.....the Wiper and washers now work....Now on to the exhaust....

I am trying to locate a front license plate bracket for a 1980 Aspen/Volare. We are required to run a front plate here in VA. Does anybody have a line on one? Thanks

it is the two speed switch on the turn signal lever

I would be happy to find a set of head pipes.....

Are you running headers or manifolds?

Yeah, it is a rural area. The drivers side is the side I am concerned with....I may have to get up in there this spring or in a few days if I am motivated to get the heat going in the garage.

It's funny the 340 manifolds were left over from my Cuda years ago. At the time they were worth the price of scrap.....we put headers on everything....and in the past my 318s were built much like my 273 and 340s.....higher compression head work and cam....now i just want to keep this clean until...

Merry Christmas everyone

Please excuse the bad pun....It has been a few years since I have done the MOPAR mix and match....after looking at the butchery on the exhaust system on my new to me 80 Duster. I was thinking about digging into the parts pile to put a set of duals on it. Currently it has stock mid 70s passenger...

I have been using SEM products for interior work for most of my career. They are proven performers that hold up well.

If, and when I can find one.....if new ones are reasonably priced then I want to....they do not seem as easy to find as they were in 1988

Well, today I ordered some B-body spring plates and U-Bolts along with some 5 leaf springs and bushings. I will start posting pics as I go. Now I need to find a windshield washer switch....

The car feels pretty good. It needs springs and an ISO delete. But overall it is a nice car....now to the list of things I wanted to do back in 1990

I remember the Farmington Polo Grounds. I would always go every year. I really enjoyed the show and swap meet. Those are some really neat rides....I find it funny that now many of us would not mind owning a 2.2 powered Omni of some flavor.

92-94 My father worked there in the 70s both of us in the Bodyshop

You are in CT? I am originally from Bristol....I used to work at Papa's Dodge in New Britain and later at Tufano Chrysler Plymouth.

Well, it is here now and the underside is pretty clean, the exhaust work is questionable and like many 40+ year old cars it could use springs and some rear suspension work. The upside is it has an 8.25 rear end and the gearing feels good overall.

Well the Duster arrived in one piece and is in decent shape considering it is a 42 year old car. It's paint is in excellent shape for the age and will remain. After going front to back on it. Some things that need to be addressed. The horn did not work and the windshield washer pump did not work...
