Re: Modified Eliminator Wars in the 70's
Thanks. That picture I did have.
The hood scoop, which must go on the stock steel hood per 1975 NHRA B/MP rules, has been cut for angle, height and snorkel length. Original picture for comparison. The seats are just sitting in there. We have new tracks and the correct upholstery and door panels from Legendary Upholstery.

Re: Modified Eliminator Wars in the 70's
Went over to Moser Engineering in Indiana yesterday and picked up a couple of rear ends
including the original Flash differential which we had fitted with new ends, axles, gears and carrier. Powder coated satin black. Mike at Moser was even good enough to duplicate the original welds on the ends as verified by Gary Hansen from Ron Butler's. One variation from original was to have the axles drilled for 4.5, 4.75 & 5.0 inch bolt circles as wheels that we have been able to find from that era can be far and few between.

Re: Modified Eliminator Wars in the 70's
A couple of things I would like to do to the Leal Duster but I can't:
1. Section that big goofy front bumper. On our street versions we always take about three inches out of them and pull them in tighter to the body. (see pic of the innocent looking green '73 with the 472 Barton Hemi). 2. Paint the engine compartment white (like a Sox & Martin car). Chrysler's (Mr. Hoover's?) edict was to paint it black - maybe to hide changes? For whatever reason we will not deviate from the original specification.

Re: Modified Eliminator Wars in the 70's
Did a trial fit of the Dana and new rims today. All clearances OK.
Ladder bars and wheelie bars not shown here.
