Hey Mark, what's the manifold off? Also, here's what the car will look like this summer. Thanks Steve (71bigblock) for the photoshop help

[69bronzeT5]

Thanks to Mark (dads_69), I got a new set of valve covers today! These things will look awesome once they're on the car. I'll be blacking them out and leaving the fins and M/T logo steel colour.

So, are you driving the car yet?

So, are you driving the car yet?

Nope, still waiting on the starter to come in.

Nice looking car Cody.

How long does it take for a starter to come in up there? I can walk into and Checker or Auto Zone around here and most times they have one in stock. If not. It takes a few days is all.

My dad is dealing with it because he has an account at the parts store. I'll need to hurry him up

Guy I know up Island from FABO was driving down to Victoria today in his '70 Dart so he stopped by and dropped off the front fender trim pieces I need from a '75 Dart he's parting out

Is the Duster Mobile Yet?   

[C_stripes]

Ya Cody,  I bought my Duster out a field just a few weeks ago and am already racking up the miles.  Time to, in the words of Larry the cable guy, "Git R done!".

[69bronzeT5]

Funny you guys ask....my dad just phoned and said he got 2 good used front tires (the current ones on it are cracked majorly) and he is getting the starter this week. So it should be mobile by the end of the upcoming weekend

[C_stripes]

Heard that before......

   Good luck Cody

[69bronzeT5]

Heard that before......

I know what you mean. I'm getting tired of hearing it too.

[69bronzeT5]

Well, time for an update. Got the starter back in. Tried to start it....nothing from the key. After doing some troubleshooting and test, found out the starter relay is screwed. My dad will change that this week. Also bought two 14x6 Rallyes for the front. Anyways, it WILL be coming home next weekend. Road trip

[C_stripes]

Will it REALLY be coming home? Or are you HOPING?   lol.   Sorry Cody 

[69bronzeT5]

There's a car show on June 7th here so I have to get it home next weekend or else I won't be able to make it. All it needs now is the starter relay and that's a quick fix. My dad's coming over to the Island next weekend so we're taking the car.

[C_stripes]

Good good.  I wish you luck. I hope the car runs well for you.

Until you get it home, here are a few of mine for you to check out.  I added V21. 




Hope we can cruise our dusters someday.

Congrats Cody! Enjoy it my man!

[69bronzeT5]

Jeremy, the V21 looks GREAT. So since my sister took the camera to Mexico when she went there, I used a disposible camera for a while. This picture was taken a couple of weeks ago. Notice anything?

Nope, it's still blue. Remember, disposible camera. However if I ever want to know what it looks like black

[tan top]

i got it       fixed the driver side wing 

[69bronzeT5]

Yup. We fixed the sail panels, did some minor work to the lower quarters (sanded off all the bubble rust etc) and painted the primer spot on the fender.

Looks good Cody. I hope you get it home soon.
