I missed the last couple of updates. I'm really digging the grill on this!

These final few pieces are really making this pop. I still can't get over the paint

Wow!! How great does that look!! This one is really starting to come together. The work is really paying off. Thank you Kyle. It’s been a long road, but there is a slight glimmer of light ahead.

These final few pieces are really making this pop. I still can't get over the paint I couldn’t agree more. It’s beautiful work and such a great period scheme. Perfect for this car.

Some REALLY fancy foot work on this build Rich. That grille really sets the front end off and an excellent idea in using a windshield from another kit for the back glass. Tail lights look the part too. This is shaping up to be really REALLY good looking build bud.

Time to get back at this one. It was good to get away from it. I started on the battery cables and main fuel line. I will start scratch building the 2 fuel pumps and filter, as no one makes Carter and Fram styles ![](https://i.postimg.cc/7YfD79GK/IMG-5820.jpg) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/FFPN78Rf/IMG-5821.jpg)

Checking ride height after suspension mods, still has to come down about a 1/16” in rear ![](https://i.postimg.cc/1Xh5FSqF/IMG-5826.jpg) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/v8fms4Jt/IMG-5827.jpg)

I have the AMT Duster and a VCG resins 340/ 4 speed for it, need to make a scatter shield . I plan on having opening trunk so that nitrous, roll bar can be seen. The paint will not be fun, as the orange is candy tangerine with hidden highlights and silver striping. Might take a look at Turbo Dork Paint .

Looking good up on its wheels. Getting close!! Thank you, Kyle. Getting closer, still a bunch of details to go. I did get adjustable pinion snubber pretty much done, a little sanding to smooth it out. I also notched the frame rails .130” to get rear of car lower. It won’t be noticed, as I will make shackle brackets that hide it. I did not notice the ejector pin marks in springs until I primed it, so I will address that also. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/rsNkXZYD/IMG-5829.jpg)

Your balancing the detail throughout this build perfectly between the interior, undercarriage and body

I really like that. The texture is a nice touch for the headliner.
