Nice pictures and congrats, but we gotta here it run.

I have a video but don't know how to upload it to the site.

I wanted the car on the road in time for the annual Mopar show held at Summit Racing but due to the Covid, it was called off but I drove by anyway just to double check. So this was the initial shakedown test drive and I must say there were only a few bugs that needed fixed. I stopped by my buddies house and took a few pics of our vehicles together.

OMG Ross, you did great...
if it doesn't get cancelled again, you should see about getting in the Class of '71 exhibit at MCACN this November. i think it would be a good fit, 50 year anniversary and all.
PS any A bodies in your future???

I believe that @76orangewagon car will be a featured car at Carlisle this year! I can't wait to go over this car. Unfortunately it will be behind a barrier I bet but at least I can see it from afar! What a car!!

Ross sold the car. He had a detailed restoration thread on Ebodies.org site that he deleted apparently at the request of the buyer. Was a shame as it was filled with lots of detail.

I'm surprised this thread has not been closed down or deleted.

Probably because not as much detail in this thread vs the other one. Also the other one had a lot of details of Mike Ross's work.

I'm really surprised that he sold it again, my understanding was that he sold his awesome Duster to buy it back and fund the 'Cuda restoration. I hope everything is okay with him and his family.
