A 1974 Duster - My 2nd one, 41 years later!
I'm not a vinyl top guy, so the first task at hand was removal of the vinyl top. That looks like the original color: Sienna Haze. Lots of glue to remove but the good news no rust and almost perfectly straight. I marked the two ridges that needed a lil' hammering down. I used an etching primer because I took it to bare metal in some spots, but will be switching to an epoxy primer from here on out. The roof will be re-scuffed and shot in epoxy primer but for now the bare metal is covered. I am using Corroseal if and when finding any surface rust that needing killing!
