Suggestions/input wanted....(kinda long)

I'm looking for some motivational suggestions. My work on my car has been suspended since back in May or June, due to financial issues (ex girlfriend. :cussing: ).

I'm very close to having a running car, but I have a bunch of loose ends so to speak.

Here's a little background on my project. It's a '73 Duster I have a 408 but have not assembled it yet, the prepped and machined block has been on the stand for close to two years. I didn't want to assemble it too soon and have it just sit there. all the bare metal items are coated to prevent rust.
I've got a Kesler 5 speed to put in. the only thing I need there is the flywheel and clutch.

My overall project goal is a vintage racer look a like. I say look a like because I've searched and can't find anything that says a Duster or Demon ever road raced. The car will remain streetable, but will be focused on the road course.



The problem....
Right now I have to store the car outside. I can usually work on it when ever I want in my Dad's garage, but I can't store in there.

If i do things like get the brake parts and install them they will most likely rust/corrode etc.

I coud get my tires and wheels and fit them to the car, but I don't wnat the tire to get flat spotted or for them to get hard sitting in the attic while I wait for other things to get done.

I am lucky on the interior. All I really need to do is decide on which seats and build a gauge cluster and a switch panel for things like electric fans etc and put a new carpet in.

To save you the boredom of me going on with every other aspect of the car that in this not too far from complete state I'll stop here.

My question is what part of the car would be the next best place to work on.
My immediate goal is to get the car drivable so I can move on to working out the bugs etc, then on to paint and body, finishing with the finally assembly.

Thanks Jason
