Duster project car "done right"

Good for you for taking the high road. As long as you got the car for a decent price, and are capable of doing the work yourself it could still be a good buy in the end. I see plenty of guys on the net and sites, who think they can build restore a car CHEAP then think its worth $30 grand with junk parts. The word budget should not come up in the car hobby to get it done right. If it does, get a new hobby. Too many junk cars for sale that are claimed to be minty cars.
