The Return Of The 73 76 Duster Resin Conversion Kit From Luka Cee Products

Added: 2026-05-18

[00:00:00]Well, hello my fellow car modelers, how are you doing today? We've got a quick Lucas C products announcement. Here we go. It is back. We are back into production. The new version of the '73 to '74 Duster conversion kit.

[00:00:16]And we also now have changing out the grill gives us the '75 '76 version and I There we go.

[00:00:28]'75 '76. So, we got the '73 '74, '75 '76, right? There we go.

[00:00:36]So, we've got both grills. So, two separate kits. You can get one or the other.

[00:00:41]And uh yeah, it's super cool, man.

[00:00:46]This has been changed a little bit from what we used to have.

[00:00:50]For those of you who have may have purchased this kit in the past, for a long time, it was designed to work with what was available at the time was the old MPC '75 '76 Dodge Dart Sport. Not really 100% correct, but it got us in the ballpark. It it worked well well.

[00:01:10]But, now with the new '72 Duster that just was released from Round 2 models I went ahead and redid a few couple of things. Pretty much mostly on the hood has been the big change.

[00:01:25]And now this kit will fit onto or work with that uh that new Duster, the '72 Duster. It'll probably work out a little bit better. I have here my old uh demo model I built. This was the Dart.

[00:01:42]You know, this years ago and but you can see you get a good look.

[00:01:47]See how it all works out. The hood, you put the hood, the bumper. There's even that you can see right there. That little filler piece right there. You may or may not need that, but we're still going to put that in the kit. It's right there. Cuz it separates the grill from the bumper. And then of course if flip it around the back, we've got this whole center piece here that the whole TV panel tail panel. You cut that out. You'll do that with the Dart, too.

[00:02:13]And then we've got the bezels.

[00:02:15]And you've got clear red lenses for the tail lights.

[00:02:21]And don't need the bumper. That is the That's the the stock bumper works in either or. So, they're they're all fine.

[00:02:28]So, you only need the front bumper.

[00:02:31]There you go.

[00:02:32]And there's that hood. Something that uh I did with with the hood now, it had molded on uh hood pins that we finally got rid of completely on the new version of the hood. I had to change the length of this hood to fit onto the '72 Duster kit, as you'll see.

[00:02:53]So, if you try to get this, you can see it won't it won't fit on the uh it won't be long enough at the cowl anymore. But, if you still want to do the conversion, everything else will fit. If you still want to buy this and you have Darts that you want to convert, if you just add a strip across here, probably about oh, a 16th of an inch was taken out of it.

[00:03:16]You can do that and you could get the hood hood back to working.

[00:03:21]But, you can see I don't know if you get a get a good look there.

[00:03:25]You see how the hood is a little shorter now.

[00:03:29]So, it works with the uh works with the Duster. There, you get a good look right there.

[00:03:34]So, there you go. But, now you can do you know, '73, '74 and '75, '76 Dusters.

[00:03:44]Bang with that right there.

[00:03:48]Boom. Bam.

[00:03:50]That's what I wanted to show you. New from Lucas Oil products.

[00:03:53]Go on over to our Facebook page, follow there, and you'll get a link to the website. It has all the information on everything on how to order. We do not have a working shopping cart. I am sorry. You have to email us. All that information is on the website, but the website is really good. You get your costs of everything and what we have in stock, which right now everything that we have in the catalog is in production. So, we don't have any holds on anything right now. If there's something you were waiting on, well, it's it's now back in production. See if we can slip this in here. This is There we go. All the kits.

[00:04:36]There it is. See, you can see the difference in the two grills.

[00:04:42]I am really happy to have this back out because a lot of people were asking for it. It was always a popular kit. Glad to have it back going. You know, it's a great alternative cuz we know trying to track any of these kits down on the secondary market, you're going to spend a couple hundred dollars. They're just very rare, very hard to come by, and the molds are long gone, been changed out.

[00:05:05]You're never going to see this again unless, which is fine with me, I'll happily stop selling these if one of the model companies wanted to do a whole brand new tooling, but uh chances of that happening right now, don't know. Don't think so. In the meantime, there you go. Excellent, excellent conversion kit. Sold many over the years. I've seen a lot of models built.

[00:05:30]I've had very happy customers with this kit. It works real well. You have to have some skills, obviously.

[00:05:37]It's not uh you know, you got to be doing some cutting and stuff because you get This probably the trickiest part is getting this section all cut out on your donor kit, and then fitting your resin piece in there.

[00:05:50]Rest of it is pretty easy to to deal with. There's a few things that need to be cut and taken off of the Duster kit off in the front. It'll be pretty self-explanatory once you start fitting things on there. It fits pretty good.

[00:06:02]The grill fits in there really nice. So, I want to thank you all for checking this out and that's pretty much what I wanted to show you. So, uh yeah, we uh build these crazy little uh conversion kits for you guys cuz you like to convert things that, you know, we don't have available to us that you have something close and you can make it into what you want it to be.
