73 Gold Duster /6 - Tucson Style

Hi All,

I thought I would start a thread for my project Duster. It's a 1973 Gold Duster with a slant 6. It has original mist green paint with dark green interior. It's all stock (I believe) with a 3 speed auto transmission. A little rust on the passenger floorboards and in the spare tire well.
Find some older pictures of it here: http://www.oldparkedcars.com/2013/03/1973-plymouth-gold-duster-coupe.html
and I will upload more pictures soon.

My goal for this project is to restore the car mostly to stock, but I have no real plans for making it a show car. I would like to make a few modifications to give it a bit more power and improve drive-ability. I'm thinking of "upgrading" the intake/carb/exhaust to something a bit bigger, maybe a Super Six intake + carb and dual exhaust headers. I want upgrade to disc brakes and maybe add sway bars. I have some desire to add A/C to this, though it did not have it previously.

The issues (in no particular order):

• Rough idle
• Worn motor mounts
• Air cleaner housing rusty, bent, old
• Possible gunk in gas tank
• Tranny a little late when shifting
• Chipped/faded paint
• No headliner
• No carpet
• A little rust in floor, trunk
• Missing glovebox
• Power issues (radio, dome light, dash lights do not work) - really only the right turn indicator and glove box light works
• Jumpy speedo
• Slow oil leak - partially fixed
• Lots of play in steering - bushings seem really worn
• Seatbelts stick a bit, might upgrade to single piece, 3-point belt
• Small dent by driver side tail light, bent chrome trim around light
• Battery tray is all but rusted away
• Passenger wiper blade not moving
• driver side armrest is crushed
• Horn not working
• Headlight knob is loose, but works
• Missing rear chrome trim for vinyl top
• Small leak in windsheld/cowl by driver's feet (but it doesn't rain much in T-town)
• Shocks/Struts seem worn out
• Hood does not sit level, seems unsupported on passenger side (rubber bumper is crushed on that side
• Trunk light broken
• Rear right turn signal not working (can't seem to get light socket out of housing)
• Side lights not working, rear passenger is missing the reflector/cover)
• Driver door does not stay open (never 'settles' in open position)
• E-Brake light and/or sensor is broken

So I guess I have a few things to work on, right?!

Any help or advice would be appreciated and I will post updates and more specific questions soon.
