YOUNG GUNS! Sign In and WIN

Hello, I'm Jamison and I'm 14 years old. The car and what's been done to date can be seen in my restoration thread "Jamison's '72 Dustpan."
I'll give a story behind in the car, what needs to be done and what I'd like to do in the future.
It's a 1972 Plymouth Gold Duster original 318/904 car but I have a 360 and the 4 speed to make the car mine!
My Aunt Beth bought the car back in 1980 when she was in the Navy, stationed in Memphis, TN. She drove the car for a little while before selling it to another sailor who wanted to the car to take to Texas. He drove the car to Texas where the original 318 blew up. He contacted a local vocational school to repair the car. The supposedly rebuilt another V8 for him. I say supposedly, because he didn't drive the car back to TN, he trailered it back and gave it back to my Aunt Beth.
My Aunt Beth had another car by this time, but my grandfather was in need of a car and she gave it him. So my aunt and uncle tow-barred it from TN to upstate NY, in the winter, no less.
My grandfather got the car running, but not for long. It hammered and made a lot of noise. Digging into it, my grandfather found out that the vocational school thought they were building a 318, but actually put in a 360. The 360, which was supposedly built, was missing bearings, wasn't bolted in to the K-frame, the exhaust wasn't hooked up, the 904 was still in the place with the 904 convertor. The rocker arm shaft was missing a few bolts and broke the shaft. It was a mess.
Grandpa set about fixing the situation. He installed bearings with shim stock, got a donor motor from a co-worker for the rocker arms, tied the engine down, hooked everything up and drove it for a years with shim stock on the bearings and the vibrating convertor before pulling the old tired 360 for a real build!
The car underwent a few paint jobs from the original tan and green interior bench seat, including one that was black and white, and it's current blue. He also installed a bucket seat interior from an F-body. When Grandpa built the 360 for it, it also built a good 727, did the body work at the time from used pieces because nothing new was available besides the spare tire well.
He drove it as a hot rod for a few years, before parking it after the rear frame rails started showing some rust at the bumper brackets and deciding to concentrate on his 'Cuda. In the meantime, he didn't like the idea that the engine and trans were just sitting without being used and pulled it stick his and Uncle Robert's '82 Diplomat where it still sits.
Grandpa decided that he had one too many cars to concentrate on after a few years and really wanted to work on his '54 Ford, so he gave the 'Cuda to Uncle Robert and the Duster to my Uncle John. Uncle John decided that he wasn't really going to do anything with the car and made the decision to give it me, last summer when I was still 13 years old.
So after thirty years, being in the family, the car has passed through two previous generations twice and is now in the hands of the third generation.
Right now the car needs quite a lot of body work. It's been in upstate NY for quite a while and needs quarters, trunk floor, floor pans, inner fenders, fenders and torsion bar mounts. Besides, of course, the engine being rebuilt, and the 4-speed swap being done. I also have the original bench seat interior for it and plan on using it, because I want something different.
For the past two summers I've been mowing lawns, doing odd jobs, trying to sell extra parts to earn the money I need. I've been able to get some parts here and there with some help and through family and friends.
Grandpa and Uncle Robert won't let me build a hot 360 until I'm older and get more driving experience. But the future plans, once I'm out of college and earning more money are a 408 stroker, an Alter-K, and a Street Lynks. That is if in the next 8 years or so someone doesn't have something different on the market.
So as you can see, the car will stay in the family for as long as I have anything to say about it!
