rumblefish's Duster project
I might have missed something, other than small fry expense's like brake cleaner, oil, filters, gear oil for the rear, etc... But there also replaceables and constant. Allways a good thing to replace IMO, on a new ride when you get'er home. Just seems to make sense to start fresh on a few things with a new project car.
It will at least take a few variables out of the problems that may occur.
So, this is the basic deal;
Car, tires and Sony Explodes with the On My Shelf stero head unit and oldie Radio Shack amp @ 100 X 2, with assoc. wires and what nots...............................................................$1810.
Total of parts purchased for upgrades..................$1821
Total thus far on car, $3631.25
Not yet installed (or tallied) is the front drum to disk brake parts. I scooped up everything w/poly bushings for $200. I also have On My Shelf, from a Cordoba parts car, the large disks brakes. The caliper brackers and disks are from a current on going project. The Magnum. A project turned everyday driver due to the death of the everyday car.
I priced everything out for the disk installation and it's under hundred bucks. So we can assume the tally rises to $4000 at a max.
The only caveat I have run into thats a bummer is the OE Carter AVS not working right. I think I'm missing something easy. I swapped it out, on a temp basis, my Cuda's 750 AFB. (Fed-Mogaul unit.)
The thought of spending money on a fresh 650 Edelbrock AVS is a entertaining thought. Also a new A/F ratio monitor/guage. The Edelbrock version I have is old and crapping out.
Though this is supposed to be an exercise of, "On the Cheap." as much possible that is.
Then were onto metal. Time to try the hand at some body work.
( He he he, OH Joy!!! Another $4000?????)
