Player1up's 73 Duster

The car looks great! I know what you mean about being reluctant about doing the body work and the search for parts is at times a real pain.......especially to find the right stuff at a decent price. It's like most places want a premium for their parts. Anyway, they know that they will get it cause you don't have much choice. It took me from March 2004 to end of Sept 2007 to complete my car (not working on it everyday but when $$$ was available.) Before ever getting in restoring a car, I'd heard people talking about 'working on their old car for 5-6-10 years'.......I wondered, "why in the world do they drag it out so long to finish something?????", Well, I found out.........it takes $$$$$$ and a lot of it. Not to mention patience and searching. In the end, it will be a job well done and you'll be very proud of it. Not to mention being an eye catcher when you go crusin around.....you'll get a lot of attention........I know that when I got done, it was like that. Keep up the great work and good luck on the car!!!
