New member back in the "A" body game!

Pushing 60 now, so I thought I'd get back into some fun stuff. I had a '70 Duster 340 in High School and loved it. Then, I moved on to a 1970 Roadrunner in 1986, then a Challenger, and now picked up another 1970 Duster. It needs some TLC, and it seems I can find most parts I need, except for the rotted door! Hopefully find the info I need in the forum!

Welcome to FABO, nice lookin' car you have there.
What are your plans for it?

It's a decent daily driver, but I want to get it cleaned up and do a few things to it. I'm not looking for a car show queen, just something that my wife and I can enjoy in the short Wisconsin summers. I am ordering new fenders, I need a driver door, and I'll do patch panels on the lower rear. The interior is going to be converted to black, and I'd like to put a console shifter in. It currently has one of those stupid B&M lockout things. I am going to pull the 318 and replace it with a 340 and paint the car Moulin Rouge or "Panther Pink" for us normal folks. I will retire in a few years, and we'll be moving to Arizona, and I think we can have fun with it there, too! My wife is a pro mechanic and body "woman," so this should be a fun project. She completely restored her 1972 Datsun 510 from the ground up a few years ago.
