- Change and Challenge Duster! Marching on towards our goals !
1. Wider rear end stance while keeping highway gears (2.94's)
2. Improve interior (seat and carpet)
3. Get a 318 to run 13.9's and get 20 mpg ???? We'll try
You should make that pillow into the talking advice pillow caricature for your channel.....😂
Now there's an idea !!! 😃
@@318willrun Feel free to use it, but if it goes bigtime I want a cut of the action🤣
I am really enjoying the way the Duster is turning out. You are literally building the perfect classic car.
Thank you, we really appreciate it!
I didn't realize that your Duster is a Space Duster, With the fold down back seat. That's very cool.
Thanks! Actually, both my Duster's are that way.
For the small pin holes PRO-15 now makes a product called POR-15 patch. I used it in my 71 Mach 1 floor pans that were super solid like yours, but with a couple of pin holes. That product worked great for filling up small pin holes. After I filled them up I used the regular POR-15 on whatever had surface rust. I am very happy with the repair, seems to be impervious to water...
Yes, good stuff! Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for the tip on smacking the lower seat back. Working on a customers roadrunner and was having trouble pushing it out. Couple of snacks and it came out easily! Thanks!
Glad it helped. We love hearing feedback!
Really solid floors! You know I love the POR patch for holes like that. Great car!
Thanks! Yes, the car is super solid underneath, frame is clean clean clean! I remember you used those patches!
My 5th avenue looked almost just like this when I had my carpet out. But not even spots rusted through. I ground the floors down with wire wheels and a die grinder and painted it with POR-15. Black, clear and then chassis coat. I eventually found out that the windshield seal was the culprit of the water entry and had the windshield taken out and resealed. Cost me about $150. Well worth it! That water was also causing problems with the electrical in my dash and my power seat motor.
Also a head up rock auto has dash covers you can order in many colors and materials. (I got the carpet type) they fit really good and will cover that dash up and make things look better. Hide the cracks and help more from happening.
Great post! Yes, the window seal can be a culprit as well!
Very nice floor pans! Great video! I always love looking for under seat treasures!
Yeah.... sometimes we like what we find and other times.... a cheeseburger from 1984. Ha!
@@318willrun 🤣👍
It's nice to see those solid floors! Justmoparjoe used some stuff called POR patch on some real small spots like that. It seemed to work really well!
Yes, it's very solid! Coming from Arizona always helps. Yes, POR patch worked well. I just grabbed some JB Weld because .... it was handy! Thanks for watching!
Nice job Bubbles.
There's always something going on down in the trailer hood
Mercy, brings back memories of "test drives" with no interiors in cars. It was more fun as the passenger,
getting tossed all over in the empty shell.... we had some fun back then, eh?

I agree! Funny the things that were common in 2nd hand cars!
Thank you!
Have you ever used the Holly Street Demon that's basically a revised thermal quad and if so will you do a review on it? I will say you looks like you're at your hands on a nice Survivor though she's a beautiful car I'm jealous
I have not run a Street Demon, so I have no first hand experience. Yes, the car is rock solid underneath! Thanks for watching!
Upholstery not hard at all but the cost of materials has gone up quite a bit...the last carpet I got from ACC was not good at all very lousy fit on my 74 charger and I got it from rock auto not their fault but ACC should be better than it was...next time I will use the loop style carpet the cut pile just looks cheap. When you put the carpet back use the seat belt bolts to find the cut location for them as you mock up the carpet.. And a hot awl work great for the seat stud holes nice and clean no tear.
I think that's what I bought... ACC... uh oh .... Thanks for watching!
@@318willrun I think ACC is all you can find. They’re the only game in town, unless you can find some new old stock someone hid away in an attic or garage, but good luck getting that in the color you need. I’ll be interested to see how the install goes and how you like the new acc replacement. My duster has naked floors and in need of carpet.
Easy fixings Amigo!!
Thanks!
Make it a four speed. Now is your chance.
Yes.... now would be the time... and I'm tempted... Thanks for watching!
Oh snap, you have a space duster! But what's that big screw poking up from where you removed the rear seat?
Probably where an exhaust hanger is located

318 👍
That's a sweet seat! Lol
yeah... maybe it says something about the previous owner ???? LOL
Did you get a chance to weigh that folding back seat. I've always been curious on how much more they weigh then the non foldable spacesaver seats.
i weighed one years ago. I think it was like 40+ lbs with all of it.
A corded inpact wrench, how quaint.
Never needs a recharge..... Ha! Thanks for watching!
@@318willrun Agreed, I use mine whenever I am in a reasonable distance of an outlet and I am thinking they have much more torque than a cordless - also quieter than air fed ones (compressor noise).
Dude. one nasty carpet. Lol
We can agree on that! Between the carpet and the seat, my wife didn't find much pleasure riding in it! Thanks for watching!
I've got the exact 318 with 294 gear 904 tranny ! How can I contact u?
My email is 318willrun@gmail.com
POR-15 is your friend
.... and we like friends! Thanks for watching!
Is it true that old insulation has asbestos in it?
I don't know, truthfully. Thanks for watching!
@@318willrun thanks for putting out awesome content! Can't wait to follow along!
