Re: Duster
I have the same problem. It keeps me from driving my 55 210 sedan more often due to the constant clean up. I have a California duster but hate to push the dust around. If I am going to a show I throw a portable air tank in the trunk and blow off the car when I get to the paved road. I also blow it off when I get back to the house.
Hopefully will be able to drive the 3100 more often. Putting bedliner in the fender wells and running boards and will just have to put up with a dusty ride if I want to drive it very much |

Re: Duster
Poor guys....
I've got concrete all the way up to my garage door....too bad the HOA doesn't allow the garage door to be open for more than 10 minutes! Not being able to put anything in your yard or store anything outside is a real b!tch when you're rebuilding a truck. You take the good with the bad I guess. |

Re: Duster
Don't fell sorry for me. No HOA, no neighborhood cops telling me what I can or can't do. If I see a pesky critter, I can blast him without repercussion. No water bill, gas bill, next door neighbor, etc.
Gotta watch out for the bobcat that is living in the area, and those dang elk that eat all of momma's flowers. Happy to put up with the dust when I think of having to live in the city Grew up in Wichita and do miss the cars that you folks put together. |

Re: Duster
I carry a box of Swiffer Dusters in my truck with a long handle. You can clean, then throw away dirt one, put on new one and continue. I have used this for two years works great and you don't to wash a think. 53 3100 randy
