looking to purchase a 670 street avenger for the 360 and the original version and the newer aluminum are priced about the same up here at the local speed shop ( the newer aluminum is actually cheaper)

just wondering by fabo experience – are they basi…

Hey guys! I bought a ’74 Plymouth Duster from someone who had started the body work but had something else come up and had to quit and sell it. I just sprayed a coat of Nason brand 2K Urethane sealer on it… frankly I have lots of questions so I figured I would stop by here and give you guys fair warning!

seen this car today and thought I would post it for the owner. I do not know the owner and have no interest in the car, just thought I would share with the rest of you.

Here is link to the thread I started in convertible forum

Car looks to be in #3 condition

Here is a major project or a great parts car. It is a real 340 car. Missing the engine and trans. When I bought it 2 years ago, it was a running driving car but the engine was not numbers matching and had a nasty knock. The engine and trans went to a less rusty project.
The body is really straight except the pass side quarter. It has some dents. I can get a nice, rust free replacement for $250. The car has manual steering, manual drum brakes, no a/c, auto on the column, complete rallye dash,…

So, this has been a total pain since it’s a 67 (904) transmission….should have thrown it away but hey it’s the original one from the car. I’ll probably throw away that 273 but that’s another story.

I’m almost done here….I got a rebuild kit without frictions/steels, bushing kit, thrust washer kit, TF-2, and some other goodies.

The two clutch packs are complete. The front pack where I did 5 thin frictions instead of 4 standard…after soaking them all in ATF fluid, the clearance seems…

Have a 7 1/4 rear axle that has only 46000 miles on it. Still has the Canada drums on it. $100. Will take to Carlisle Chrysler Nationlas. In Pa.

Figured I need to start posting up pics and updates for all to see. I’ve also got some of this in the Hemi forum, but I’ll keep that more specific to Hemi stuff, and this will contain everything I’m doing. 76orangewagon suggested I get a post going in the member restorations, so here it is!
