Duct tape a person in your car, problem solved. Just don't forget to feed them.

Looking good Cody. The appearance of your car will change 100% when you add the wheels. I see a few little things you need to change, but the car is nice.

Not sure if I mentioned this to anybody or not but after months of consideration, I decided to change my idea for the car. Instead of going maroon red with white 340 stripes, I'll be doing exactly this but my car will have the white interior.  Sorry Tuffy I also have a little surprise planned but you guys will see when the time comes.

VERY nice!    I'd own it.

I was throwing around the idea of a white vinyl top but the whole rust under the vinyl thing scares me

I dunno. Im kinda diggin the white vinyl top.

[TUFCAT]

I'd go with the canopy top only....I've never been a fan of the full top on Dusters.

White top on a dark-colored car looks awesome.

As long as you have a good coat of paint under that top and glue it down good, Rust isn't an issue. The biggest problem that Ma Mopar had with the roofs rusting out is they didn't put enough if any paint under them. Also they didn't finish out where the quarters meet the roof line when they added the vinyl top.

You planning on putting a 340 in there or just the stripes?

Just the stripes....for now

Did you get that bumper changed yet?  lol I have to go to school, but I expect that when I get home in five hours, there will be an updated picture.   
It'll only take like 20 minutes to a half hour.

I honestley tried but I couldn't find any of the tools or even the WD40

Your garage must be a mess!  WD40 is in a YELLOW RED AND BLUE can, very hard not to spot lol

A mess is an understatement. It looks like a Toys R Us after a tornado!

Oh the horror! I can see it now, millions of whining firby's

I was just cruising Google Streetview and low and behold...

Now it makes me think of the starsky and hutch car for some reason... it doesn't look like it at all but without the full vinyl it definitely changes the way it looks.  Ah screw it just cut the whole top off 

[TUFCAT]

Your photoshopped version looks good. The white A-pillar should be thinner, I like the concept though.  Also (in my "professional" capacity as a Duster lover)....I think a full white vinyl top on a black Duster looks like ass.

[69bronzeT5]

Although the canopy top looks good, I think I'm just gonna skip the vinyl top idea all together. If I were to do one, it would be a full because the original full vinyl top holes are already there (bondoed right now though) but I just can't bare to drill anymore holes in my roof for a canopy top...

Thats a poor excuse Cody. It would be allot easier to find things if that silver ferd wasnt there. 

I noticed that the google street view pic has your plate number blurred out. Did you do that, or did google?

Well actually, I cleaned the garage tonight. Everything is off of the Charger and you can finally walk in there! However, the Mustang is still buried with the garage sale stuff.

Google did that. It's a policy of theirs. I love how they blur the licence plate but share the house address
