Re: Leaf,Lace,Scallops and Cobwebs.
A friend of mine bought that car, and parted out the small block chevy drivetrain. Then I got the car, as a roller, from him, and we installed a 440 Mopar engine and 727, for bracket racing, in the '80's. I sold the car in 1991,when I moved to Florida. Thanks to Billy Nees, for pointing me to the pics.

My old auto shop teacher from high school owned this car for a while in the mid-1970s. I think it came out of Division 1 and was a Pro Stocker there. My friend ran in D/G with it around the Tampa Bay area then.

That's some crazy paint on that Duster, but can't quite make out what it says on the door...I presume it was running a 426 Hemi, and is the car still around.

Yep, Prescription Hemi. Chad ran it with Hilborn injectors on a 426 Hemi in D/G. It must have had a lot of weight in it to run D/G. I don't know where the car went. He's into Lambo's and Jags now, but still plays with some Mopars. The lettering was gold leaf and looked better than that little photo indicates. Pretty psychedelic early 1970s paint.

Here's one of a early Belvedere with custom paint on the sides...

Re: Leaf,Lace,Scallops and Cobwebs.
I remember a paint job I saw years ago(70's). It was on a convertible of some kind and appeared to have random reflections from chips of mirrors or diamonds. Car was not covered with them like flake but maybe 10 to 15 chips total that really popped when the sun hit them.
Anyone ever see anything that resembles this? |

This is from a Moparts.com post by Moparts member "grncpe" on his build that just recently completed and man, it's nice to see a young kid keeping that 70's spin alive and well! Job well done!
