Not a B body. But something to keep me busy

[dvw]

Our family friend Jeff grew up hanging around here as he and my son went to school together. He's wanted a hot rod for a long time. I found this Duster a few years ago from a guy at work. It had been setting 25 years . It's 340 car with lots of extra parts for $6k. Sold off the stock rebuilt short block, 340 exh manifolds, small A body 4 piston disc, and axle assy. It was a basket case but 99% rust free.4 doors, 4 fenders, 2 hoods, 2 deck lids, new ralle cluster, console, buckets. Recouped about 50% of the purchase price. I installed subframe connectors and narrowed a C body housing earlier. Well now it's finally painted. I agreed to help assemble it. It will be getting the turbo 360 out of my sons 62 Savoy. Been working on it about a week. Suspension and brakes are on. I repurposed the OE line kit to fit 4 wheel disc. Found a Summit proportioning valve and line lock. Rear brake are GM. Front are FMJ body. A little cut and flare with some creative rebending, and it's ready to bleed.

Very nice clean work! As usual!

 

[davek]

NICE

 

[zyzzyx]

Very nice and at that price! Good luck with the project and keep the pic's coming! By the by,
Mopar never made a Turbo 360. If it's an older 727, you'll want to upgrade to a newer one.

 

[3sloppydogs]

Nice

Looks sweet. I had a 70 340. I loved that car. Bone stock with some carb and dist work it clicked off 14.0s at 99 to 100 like clock work.

I was curious about the line lock on the rear circuit. Looks like that anyway

You are 100% correct. It's incorrect. I made a diagram of the ports and paid no attension to it. I will be replumbing.

[oldbee]

Another awesome job,, by a master!

 

[Budnicks]

I like the color...
I like that body style (Duster/Demon) for an A-body

should haul ***, with that combo
(your son's car old combo, I assume)

A great looking A body in the making. Nice workmanship Doug and a great way to spend time in the off season.
