Father-Son 1974 Duster Project

So, There won't be much if any spending on Misty for a while, so I need to take a few days to plan what we're going to do next.

For sure the brake line that goes across the firewall needs to go in, and I'm sure the fuel lines are a lot easier to install while there is no motor in the bay as well.

It also makes sense to me to get the wiper mechanisms along with new seals back in before I put the dash frame back in. (still need to take off the old pad and refinish it)

My heater core is good but the fresh air box damper is rotted out so I think I'll be buying one of those from Whitepunkonnitro.

I never tested the wiper motor, but it looked ok other than one short piece of bare wire on it that I'm sure a little heat shrink tubing will take care of. The original wiring harnesses are going back in, but I'm cleaning them really well. I have a quite a bit of experience with electrical components from many production projects I have headed up, so I'm feeling real good about taking care of what seem to be common voltage drop issues from poor connections at the firewall connectors etc. I have a few ideas and tricks up my sleeve...

I have my motor, trans and rear pretty much ready to go.

I'd be up for any suggestions for others about how they'd go about moving forward on a very limited budget.
