Player1up's 73 Duster

I know what you mean about doing the work yourself. I did a lot of work myself......that I knew I could do.....I had so much invested in the car before the body work, I didn't want to ruin it with my limited knowledge of doing it and messing up something. I did go to the body shop very frequently to watch the progress and in doing so, I was able to see where each piece was welded, patched or whatever was needed. The seats and door panels, I had done by a reknown lady in town that does outstanding work, other than that, I did pretty much the remaining work.......just no exterior body work or paint.
Under the car, I can tell you just about where everything goes on it, the spots that may need attention in a few years, etc.
I feel as if I'm a big part of the restoation of my Duster, but I do give credit to those that helped or did the work. I've made a plaque to put on the dash when going to shows to advertise to the public who was involved in the making of my car. I don't take all the credit in the least and I'm sure that you will be VERY proud of your ride when completed. Keep us posted as to the progress.
I know what you mean about getting the attention......I've only had mine back on the road (sparingly) since the beginning of Oct this year. Had my (cars.....LOL not mine) picture taken cause they were so taken that they wanted a picture. Plus, had 1 person practically run me down to ask if it was for sale and told him........no. I've got too much of me in the car.
Like you say..........I LOVE IT!!!
Keep up the good work!!
