1972duster 07-07-2011 04:48 PM

New Guy Here
 
Hey everyone,
I'm new to the site, but not new to Mopar.
I was raised on Mopar. My dad was always working on his 1972 Duster, but since he passed away when I was 5 it has been getting no love. I have decided I am ready to accept the responsibility of getting the car to reach its full potential.

The car is a 1972 Plymouth Duster Prostreet with a 440. Not sure of all the parts, but they are mostly Edelbrock with the exception of the Fram oil filter my mom put on the car when the old one went bad.

I put on a larger, newer air filter today. The engine runs great, despite sitting for a few years, and some harsh winters.

I am on a quest to make the car street legal, while still being able to run it on the strip. I am in desperate need of some bumpers, and all the necessary lighting and wiring to drive it on the road.

I hope to drive this car in the future. (when gas isn't so expensive and insurance wont kill me)

Thanks in advance to any help you fellow Moparheads could give me.

(there are pictures of the car and engine on my profile)

Welcome aboard!

When was the last time the engine / trany was run?

As far as parts, besides eBay (yes eBay), there are a number restoration houses and MOPAR specific salvage yards to check for parts. A Google search will bring them up.

It was running earlier today, I haven't taken it for a drive yet though.
