A 1974 Duster - My 2nd one, 41 years later!

Hello Canyon! Thanks for the kind words, I am sure you can make your car like this one. I'm just one guy doing this in my garage. Welding. I had never welded before either, it is all in the settings. My Harbor Freight 170 amp welder has performed like a champ, very happy with it and it was bought for $159.99 on sale. The bottle was more expensive than the welding machine, LOL! Thanks again.

Yesterday was a slight bit depressing. I had a pro painter stop by to give me an accurate bid as he could be here and go over the whole car, rather than me trailer the car to his shop for the bid. The bid was $15,000 .... I nearly fell over! He said 100 hrs in blocking/sanding and 2k priming to get it ready to paint. So 100 hrs times $75.00 hr = $7500.00 to get it to the point ready to shoot the Green. Then he wanted another $7500.00 to shoot the green and clear, and some satin black. Next, not spending that kind of money. I would paint it with a broom before I would give someone $15K to paint my car! I'll get this figured out on what to do.
