Mopar Nationals or Bust!!

Hi everyone, I came up with this idea the other day and thought I'd post here to keep whoever wants in the loop of my progress.... Anyway, I'll explain what this is about.

Since attending the Mopar Nationals for the first time last year I knew I wanted to get my 72 Duster running and trailer it up to the show and use it to cruise back and forth to the motel, go eat, etc. well, the other day an idea hit me that excited me to my inner being!! I decided that if money and time permits, my goal is to get my 72 Duster running, driving and road legal in time to DRIVE it to the Nats! ROAD KILL STYLE!!! This may not sound like much to some of you but this is the first car that I've really gotten into fixing up. The body will stay as is for now and I will concentrate on mechanicals first and if I have time and money left till the Nats I may work on the interior or trunk pan as well. Below I will make a list of everything that needs to be done or I want done b4 August 6, 2015!

1. Pull leaky 318/904 and replace with carbed 5.9 and AX15 5 speed
2. Rebuild frontend with PST kit
3. Go through all brakes, install new master cylinder and lines
4. Shorten driveshaft
5. Buy/install new gas tank and maybe lines (depends on condition)
6. Go through all exterior lighting.
7. Install good tires
8. Get it road legal!!

If I have time and money left...
Install offset shackles and 8.8 and upgrade front brakes to LBP discs
Repair/replace trunk floor
Install intank fuel pump

I will update this thread whenever I get something done! Now to get all this done I may need y'all's help! I'm not asking for physical help or financial help but I may be posting a few wanted ads (starting with the oil pickup ad I posted this evening) and would like to buy used parts from members where possible. But most importantly encouragement and motivation is the biggest help!!! :cheers:

Here's the most recent pic I have of the car.
