'74 Duster Rebuild
I purchased this '74 Duster from a guy who purchased it from a friend's father. He really wanted to complete it, but was spread too thin and had other projects that needed attention, so he sold the car to me.He wanted to rebuild it but other projects took precedent and he needed to sell it to a good home. After several weeks of searching through Craigslist, I found this car for sale and by the following weekend, I purchased it. Now that our little one is almost 16 months old and is taking longer naps and going to bed at a decent hour, we can finally get the rebuild started! So excited to start and share the process....I know it may be difficult, but I'm ready!! I will add in here as the project unfolds. The first few photos are of us getting the engine out--that took some interesting maneuvering for sure...
We purchased in August 2019 and are just now starting the process of taking the engine out to see it's condition. So far, it looks to be accurately described by the previous owner--a new engine, never been fired. I purchased a bunch of items when we first got the car, but nothing since August...really excited to get back into learning and working on my own classic car. I will update this as I go along in case anyone is interested. Until then...
