Hey Cody, looks good to see what you want it to look like.  What engine is in it now ? and is the engine you have staying in it ?

Hey Cody, looks good to see what you want it to look like.  What engine is in it now ? and is the engine you have staying in it ?

It has a 318-2bbl. I'm upgrading it to a 4bbl for now. One day it will get a 340

[hemiken]

Hey Cody, if you are doing the stripe, i would go for the same as you have but put 318 in the stripe instead of 340 just for now of course.

-Dark Argent Rallye wheel centers (large bolt pattern)
-Rallye wheel trim rings (2-14 & 2-15)
-Chrome Gas Cap
-Tuff Wheel (Grant version possibly?)
-Rearview mirror
-Passenger side chrome manual mirror

Im sure ive got a rear view mirror, i just aquired 2 dart sports you know 

Also man you could just take the trim off the side and have a custom gold stripe

I got a buddy that has a 71 duster tahts pretty slick, its black with a 432 inch stroked 340, rumor is he has 80k in it. its the same guy that has this road runner. Ill try to get some pics of it later

Nice car Brandon! Okay, some updates. Got two 14x6 Rallyes for $40. Still trying to find two 15x7's. Once I get four Rallyes, I'll put them on. For now, I'm gonna cruise with hubcaps  Got the front fender trim now so I'll put that on. Got a bare Tuff wheel...anybody got any parts for it they wanna donate to a good cause? Got the starter fix and put it back in. Put the motor back together (valve cover, header back on and motor bolt back in etc). Found out the starter relay is screwed so I'm gonna fix that. Got a new one for $18. Going over Friday evening. I have a show I want to take it to over here on Sunday. I'll be driving it home Saturday if all goes good. That means between Friday evening and Saturday evening, I have to replace one header bolt, swap the front tires, put the seatbelts, sunvisors and door panels back in, put the trim on, fix the alternator wiring and then do a test drive. Oh and I'm gonna do an oil change. Wish me luck that I get it home for the show! Here's a new picture. I did some body work. Yes I know...it looks black but it's still blue. The cheap disposible camera I used and my scanner caused it to go black!
