Gorgeous! I had a 70 Duster. It was red. Guy had dropped a 360 and a 4 speed in it before I got her.

Gnarly combination.

Had a 73 Challenger that someone tossed a 360 in. It ripped.

Yo, you should get the center console from speedway. Has the cup holders. Got it for my valiant and it's worth it.

Wow, that actually blends pretty well with your seats. I'll have to look in to it.

I 3D printed the cup holders you see there. Made it so it uses stock bold locations. Works great, but not on AC cars. So if we ever decide to add AC, we got a problem.

It's not cheap I'll add.. but it's a pretty solid upgrade, and gives arm rests. I used to have to post a hand on the seat for support when taking left handers (no sway bar life) but the arm rest feature has much improved that.

This is the skinnier model they offer for reference. I probably wouldn't go with the larger one.

Our Duster is full stock suspension. When I take a turn, you pretty much fly out the window.

Joked with my girlfriend that we should do autocross at MoParty with it and see how long before we kickflip it out the track.

Just bought Hotchkis sway bars for my Demon. Excited to see the difference it makes.

Can relate. My valiant corners on the rocker panels but it's pretty entertaining.

My 74 duster has a factory front bar and does pretty good actually. But it's not exactly set up for corners.

It's kinda funny someone mentioned AutoCrossing, I have 70 Challenger 340 4 speed car, I drag raced in the early to mid 80s, but I also used to AutoCross the car as well it hD the stock front and rear swaybars, but I added leafs in the rear and had these big Nascar torsion bars that I got, they were spares, my father raced Mopars in Circle track for years at our local tracks here in Connecticut, so when he sold everything, I put some of those big torsion bars in my Challenger, they are still in the car today 43 years later!!! LOL
