Plymouth named it the Duster, but this freshly restored 1973 version by the V8 Speed and Resto Shop is too clean for the name! Unless you’re referring to the hot 340 V8 under the hood.. then it all starts to make sense. You’ll get to hear the thumping Comp cam under the Edelbrock Performer aluminum heads when we post the video feature. The V8 team was honored for the opportunity to restore every aspect of this car. But that blue though! The secret of the color is also revealed in the video… stay tuned!
Picture this: The wind blowing your hair, the sun beaming down on your face, and the open road stretching out before you. There’s nothing quite like the exhilarating freedom of driving a cool convertible on a beautiful sunny day! The engine rumbles as you navigate the curves, feeling the adrenaline coursing through your veins. The timeless design and power create an intoxicating blend of style and performance. It’s a harmonious dance of man and machine. So let the sun kiss your skin and the Corvette transport you to a place where driving becomes pure ecstasy. Embrace the sheer joy of the ride! 🌞🏎️💨

Check out the skilled craftsmanship happening at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop! 🔥 Our talented fabrication team is hard at work welding in a brand new dashboard into a super-cool 1968 Oldsmobile 442. This one sits on a Roadster Shop chassis but retains its original appearance.
One of the challenges was to repair the rusty dashboard, but without the support of a reproduction panel made specifically for Oldsmobiles. The solution – adapt a Chevelle piece, mating it to the Olds dash to retain the Olds speaker grille and vents while eliminating the rust. The fresh new dashboard is a combination of Chevelle parts and custom-made pieces, replacing the rusty original. The result is a seamless panel that looks like we were never there.
Stay tuned for more updates on this sweet restomod project. We can’t wait to unveil the finished ride! 🏁✨ #V8SpeedandRestoShop #MuscleCarRestoration #FabricationTeam #ClassicCarRevival
