Built In 108 Days

[crayzcuda]

I'll try to make this story as short as the build.

I had a 1979 Duster sitting around for a future build. Got a phone call from my brother-in-law and he wants me to do a Hot Rod Run with him to the west coast.

With 108 days before the cruise, it sounded like a challenge. What the heck, I always work better under pressure. With some late nights after work and weekends, it was made possible.

Here is some pics I took along the way.

Now that the paint was out of the way, time for mechanical. (And yes, it was the first time I ever painted a whole car)

Have to say this build was made easier because I'd been stock piling parts for awhile to do this build.

Do to my self imposed time restraints, I tried to take pics every night but was too tired some nights. All the work was done in my garage except the machining and tranny rebuild.

Trust me, it wasn't all peaches and cream like it looks in the pictures. There were a few leaks that I finally got fixed the day we left. Oh ya, and those "Cherry Bombs" I had in the garage that I put on the car, were just to frikken loud for a long highway trip!

Thanks guys. It was fun but the real fun came after I got to go cruising.

Since then I have only done a few things, I upgraded to a MSD ignition, 15 x 8 Rallies with 275 60 15's in the rear, new leaf springs and bushings, hoodscoop and a K&N X-Stream Airflow Top.

On my list for this year is the spoilers, wheel flairs and change the gears to 3.55's.
