1970 Duster production information

And yes the hood is going back to stock. You can see the hood in the background that comes with the car.

That was going to be my first question

I have a cool picture at home of the car from 1976 when it was in full race form. A hole was cut in the original hood for a massive tunnel ram. During the restoration the previous owner removed the tunnel ram and put the shotgun scoop on it to cover the hole.

I want to drive the car this summer so I am likely to tackle painting and installing the hood over the coming winter. I can swap hoods with whatever mood I am in I guess.

In the picture of the car when it was "new" it had the twin scoops. I think they are hideous so I will stick to the flat hood. The next owner can put those on if they want.

 I also have a special relationship with the Dusters. This is a photograph from summer of 1972 when I bought my 71 convertible. Notice in the background the 70 Duster (my parents car) which is what got me in to Mopars. It was a 318,  3 speed manual with black interior. I loved that color and that car could get up and go. Enjoy your A-body. They're great cars.

This is a very impressive driveway. Solid Mopar family. I do admit shaker Challenger convertible > Duster.

My family is all Ford. I didn't let them brainwash me!
