Hey everyone, I got bored while I was in class one day and wandered over here. I'm usually over on pro-touring, never really came over here, but I'm glad I finally did! My name over there is ALLstrokedOUT ..for those who don't go over there or havnt seen my car here it is, it's a 1970 duster, 408 small block, 4spd at the moment but will have a t56 by the end of summer, Dana 60, beefed up torsion bars and such for the suspension rite now, 4 wheel 12" disk brakes...

The down side of being a student (major is civil engineering) rite now is the lack of money, but on the bright side I have access to solidworks and autocad. Rite now I'm trying to learn solidworks by modeling a c4 vette suspension/custom k-member to bolt up in place of the the dusters stock member in a few years.

Nice ride! I always liked those cars. Does it have a chin spoiler on it? the pic is a little dark...

Thanks guys! Yea it had a chin spoiler on as an attempt to improve aerodynamics. I had it on for about a month before i got tired of it rubbing on everything, it didnt look too professional either, i may revisit that project later on...

Welcome to another engineering student (though, i'm mechanical)! your car is looking good. im in the same boat as you though, broke. I will admit through engineering, its nice to have access to cad and solidworks. I cant wait to start designing some parts for my car soon. Hope to see some great progress on your car soon. keep it up
