Cody's 1973 Duster (UPDATED: ENGINE COMPARTMENT OVERHAUL DONE!!!!: 8/14/10)

[69bronzeT5]

Not really -- I found a bouncy ball, a lighter, change, small pieces of paper...and some other stuff but I forget what it was. I still haven't found the buildsheet. Hopefully it'll be in the back seat top cushion.

Also, I never saw "plymouth" emblems on the front fenders like that. All 1973-1976 Dusters I've ever seen had the "Duster" emblem as on the tail panel.

i did see it on a 1974 once when one was for sale by my house. but it was only on the right side.

what's this?

L@@ks like a rear window defroster switch...

A good friend of mine's dad worked at Johnson Motors for many years back in the day..He was a Chrysler mechanic (RIP) ..perhaps he may have done the pre delivery inspection on your car...lol

That switch is for the Air Grabber hood Nah, it's for the rear defogger. Ron, does Johnson Motors still exist? You going to Mopar Madness this summer? I'll be there with the car.

That dealer is long gone...hope to be at MM ..my cars in pieces right now (again)

Really? That's overkill. Adding another OFF>ON bezel is strange, with the RR DEFOG bezel already there.

Nice Duster Cody.  Excellent start to what will be a fun car. 

[Khyron]

nice duster.... and get a hair cut ya hippie!

[skip68]

    Good job Cody.     Nice car brother.

That switch on the lower drivers side is for chics, it turns them off and on whenever necessary. I had installed in my last car also. 

Cool ride Cody

I'm thinking that Plymouth emblem was added on after the fact, it almost looks like it was glued on?
And don't cut your hair Cody because in 25 or 30 years you'll be wanting to relive your wasted youth but you'll look at the thinning lid in the mirror one day and realize it's like the Pepsi commercials and its best to leave your cool past unblemished by a pathetic attempt to get back in the game.

Eventually that mullet will turn into a scullet.

Tell me about it! 
On the bright side, there is a LOT less maintenance going on with the aerodynamically modified me! 

Have fun with the ride! Don't let it distract you from the charger though!

If we have a mullet, a El Camino is in order.

[NYCMille]

Cool car man!! 

[69bronzeT5]

Thanks Mike!

Bryan, don't worry about that. I'll be getting it reliable and safe so I can drive it back and forth to work so I can make money for the Charger.

[Mopar2Ya]

That's a nice A body. What are your plans again? (I'm sure I missed that somewhere) Paint?

[WingCharger]

Cody, we need a VIDEO!

Again, congratulations.

[69bronzeT5]

That's a nice A body. What are your plans again? (I'm sure I missed that somewhere) Paint?

-Fix the floor pans
-Fix the leaks in the window(s)
-Put some new tires and Rallye wheels on it
-New carpet & headliner
-New 4bbl carb and intake
-Put the side trim on the front fenders (going to the junkyard this weekend to get some)
-Fix the quarter panel/roof seams and fill in vinyl top holes properly.
-New starter


I hope to get it painted but we'll see how time and money works out. I'll be showing it no matter how it looks this summer so I don't think I can make enough money before summer to afford paint.


Wingy, I have a video of it starting for the first time in 4 years. There's me saying some stupid crap in it though

Ordered a new starter for it. $75 bucks. My dad is going to pick it up and hopefully put it in the car before I come back to get it. Installing a starter with headers is not gonna be fun

If you wanna play you gotta pay
