Project Riddler's Ride - 1976 Plymouth Duster
Well after waiting 8 long weeks, the Duster has arrived home. I'm eager to dig in on metal work but I know it's going to be a long slow process. I don't have an end date in mind, and honestly I see this as a project for a few years. Money permitting. :)
Here's what I have to work with after media blast and epoxy primer. The car has been hit on both sides very lightly. Both quarter's need work. The front floor pans are also pretty much shot. I have new one to put down anyway! Onto the pictures....
Full car shot on rotisserie
Driver's side quarter with slide tool holes.
Driver's rear seat belt mount. Both are sides are gone.
Driver's front floor pan or whats left of it.
Driver's front A pillar. The lead from the factory came out during media blast.
Engine bay
Passenger side front floor.
Passenger side rear seat belt mount.
Passenger side rear quarter. The only rust to the outside body panels. Small patch will fix this.
Passenger side trunk extension. It looks like the previous owner jacked the car from that pinch weld.
Trunk area clean
and finally the roof with very slight dents.
Now that I have the car back the plan is to work a small amount each day on it. I have to return the rotisserie so the plan is to make some stands with casters that bolt to the bumper bolt locations.
