72 duster Build progress

Nothing to update on the duster :-(....

Got it put away in the garage over at my parents house....so atleast it is out of the weather.

just hopped on fabo and checked out a couple of peoples resto threads and seen how they take a car from ruins to picture perfect in a month or two's time.....kind of depressing lol. Would be great if I had the money to speed up the process.

But for now, ill keep day dreaming on what I want to get done on it and what it will look like all done but its going to be a long process still.

Hopefully after the holidays money won't be so tight and ill get a chance to get some stuff done on it before our little girl arrives.

I would like to get the body work finished over the winter and have it painted in the spring.

other than that im looking at moslty buttoning up odds and ends (couple interior pieces, kick down cable,restoring grille,beauty rings for my wheels,rear tires,exhaust tips,installing the side stripes,door and trunk seals) and id like to get a 6 pack hood eventually but we will see when the time comes.

And its looking like I am going to need a new fuel pump for it...so Ill either get a good mechanical or ill install an electric pump (kind of want to stay mechanic......im the type that is "the less wiring there is under the hood and the more simple things are....the more I like it" the gas tank has some crud in it so ill eventually drop it and clean it out. And when I took it on its first actual "drive" when I moved to my new house I noticed the rear end was making some noise so ill probably have to pull the center section and give it an inspection (it leaks anyhow so I already planned on getting into it eventually).

so.....I still have a good bit of work to do on it.....sure it further along than when I originally bought it....but sitting here thinking it has taken me almost 3 years now to get to this point! is a bit depressing.....I hope I can get it done soon so I can just drive it and enjoy it and not have to worry about how or when I can get stuff done on it.

I havent had much time to be on fabo the last few months and I miss talking with all you guys and seeing what you have going on with your cars....so I hope to be on a bit more.....just things have been rough the last few months and I have been trying to get caught up and waiting for things to settle down some.

anyhow....this post really isnt very informative I guess, just me rambling on lol.

BUT as soon as I do start making progress on the duster again....you guys can be sure ill keep you up to date on it!
