My '75 Duster "The Juice"

Gerty, I read your story and had to think about times that has happened to me.

I bought the Duster on eBay last year from a guy about 50 miles from us. It was the most horrible day ever trying to get home with the car. I told my wife Angela "we can drive the thing home with no issues" and 15 hours after picking it up we finally limped into our drive way with more issues than I could have imagined.

Well, at least you got it home and learned some of the things that it needed. Looks like you did a nice job with the rear and springs. You can always look back and see how much you have improved your ride. Mike
