73 Duster project progress
I have been on this site for about a month now and have gotten so much help from the members! :cheers:
I thought some of you might want to see what I have been doing with your help.
The back story: We bought a blue 74 Duster for my wife to use as a daily driver back around the 1998 time frame when we lived in CO. Fast forward to 2011, the AF had moved me to FL in 2004 and the car has been sitting unused in the back yard for at least 6 years. The rats had moved in and so had the rust. We now have a 16 year old boy that has a license and needs a car to drive. Time to restore. Because of the rust on the car, we decided to find a solid body and do a swap. In comes a solid body, yellow 73 Duster /6 car from NM, and the project begins. All the running gear/interior/engine bay are getting fixed/upgraded and getting swapped from the 74 to the 73.
We hope to have it done before Xmas this year!
