drodg Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Looks very good. I love the exterior color and the white vinyl top. I am planning on starting a 72 MPC Duster this fall to replicate my 1:1 car. Love seeing your build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I like how this looks. The contrasting white trim and roof are spread out on the body so that is more of an accent than a focus point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As my own first new car was a 1973 Duster 340, bought off the floor at Highland Chrysler Plymouth in Grand Rapids in late December, 1972. Mine was Silver Frost metallic (a silver gray with a lot of flake) with a blake interior and stripes, no vinyl roof, and the Space Duster package. Within a few months I had added factory chrome wheel lip moldings, G70 14 RWL Goodyears in back to go with the E70's in front, cranked the t-Bars down in front, and was running 14x6/14x7 Appliance Aluminum wheels. I've had the MPC kit set set aside for what....47 years now....maybe one day I will finally get it built. Meanwhile, I did just finish another model of the new car I bought a year later, using the Duster as my trade in....a factory ordered 1974 Plymouth Road Runner E58 360 hi-po..... Good luck Curtis with yours....it's looking really good so far....TIM Not to high jack this thread but would love to see your build of the 74 Road Runner.

Tom Geiger Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Very nice! Everyone from our era has a Duster story. I graduated high school in 1976 and worked delivering pizza that summer. The girl my age who took the phone orders had a sister a few years older than us who worked full time. Terri showed up at the restaurant to visit her sister in a 73 Duster. It was a 318 V8 car with auto, air conditioning, bucket seats and a console. It had low miles and was silver with a red half vinyl roof and interior. I thought this car was perfect! And she was selling it for $1500! I wanted it! Only at 18 I didn’t have enough cash. So I went to the bank where I had my account since I was 14, sure that they would be impressed with my part time job, $500 down payment and my sincere promise to pay them back. That was not so, they didn’t loan me the $1000. A pity for all parties concerned, Terri because her car was not sold, me because I didn’t get the car and the bank because I have never ever not paid a debt!
