Player1up's 73 Duster
RPM, I just wanted to do one of these myself. I want to be able to say that no matter how it looks I did it ALL. I have talked to a lot of people at shows and they are like " yeah, had a local paint shop do the body and friend of a friend do the interior.... so on.. and I'm like Yeah I can pull a loan for 40k and buy one too. but at the end of the day it is MY car, I know where every last little bolt goes because I put it there, I have a full exploded diagram of what the thing looks like on the inside because I have SEEN it with my own 2 eyes for weeks not just the couple of times I stopped by the shop while the guys were working on it. I guess that is just my personallity. I have to know why and how it works. It isn't good enough for someone to just tell me.
Now don't missunderstand me, there is nothing wrong with paying to have a car built,( as a matter of fact my next will probably be done that way) not everyone has the patience or love of oh.. 19 years to put into a project but I wanted to be able to say I did it, and learn a few things along the way (like I don't believe I have the patience to do this again) . I have sooooo much respect for the "body men" out there. I sanded my hands raw, literaly, because I thought there was no way I could sand that much in one week, but I digress....the main reason why I'm doing all of the work myself is 'cause I'm a poor/cheap bastard :) not because I'm mr awesome.. anyway
A couple of people at work were telling me that there are some inperfections in the paint and stuff, and all I can think is "man they can't see where the marker lights should be or where the quarters were replaced, Damn I did an awewome job".
Thanks again all.
