Pretty good for a couple of beginners working in tight quarters with very basic tools, but with the help and support of a great community!
THANK YOU FABO! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM THE JERSEY SHORE!

Maaan , I can't believe how much progress you've made sense you've brought Misty home . It doesn't seem that long ago that you were going back and forth from the storage unit . Every time I get the chance to check in on you I see your getting that much closer to turning the key . Keep up the good work "DusterDaddy" and do me a favor and give your kid's a big well done from me ! :thumbup:
OK holidays behind us, trip to Florida done, time now to get back to work on the project!
Congratulations to my son Aaron on his first daily driver... A nice '96 Jeep Cherokee Sport with only 61,000 miles! It's in great shape, just needs a scrubbing and a paint job due to the bad sun fade and flake...Other than that it's mint!
Nice Find Aaron! I hope this ride doesn't take too much time away from the Duster project......

nice jeep. when the duster is done he will have two nice vehicles!
I bet the duster will get better mileage, except in snow

He's a real throw-back kid, he keeps it simple. I feel good putting him on the road in that Jeep, it's solid little vehicle...

This is so cool....a true budget build with excellent results! Aaron is learning from a master. I have no doubts he'll be one of our Young Guns soon!

Ahhhh good stuff. Looks great and you are having fun. Taking my son to the shop this weekend to work on the interior prep on the 74.
Does anyone know who owns this Rallye Red Duster?
This is what I'm aiming for! I love the way this car looks....

I'm going to Las Vegas for a National Meeting for work next week.
While there my beautiful wife and I are renewing our vows at an Elvis Wedding Chapel!
When I i get back home I'm hoping it's warm enough to get going on Misty again...

..awesome work guys...
Sounds like a good plan ! Just as long as your not to tired after the second honeymoon . lol
I was getting excited about gearing up to get going on the project again, but it looks like more f#*%'g snow is showing up on Tuesday. Looks like another week till the old girl sees some some sunshine...
I'm getting ready to remove to fuel and brake lines from the underside. I was considering leaving them and just pumping fuel line cleaner and new brake fluid through them prior to installing the motor and master cylinder, but I have gone so far now and the cost of new lines is so little in the big picture I'm not going to be penny smart and dollar foolish.
Finally got outside and got the front and back bumper supports sanded down and primed
Last weekend I was passing through Pennsylvania while making a visit to my mom and I finally picked up the seat I bought 5 months ago. Thanks for hanging on to it Todd.
Aaron and I slipped it into the car just to check it out...Fit like a glove. The foam is in nice shape so its just needs upholstery.
Anyone know what thread size the seat studs are? I got to get some nuts and washers when the time comes...

It was a great day to take Misty down off the jacks and roll her out into the sunshine. My son is happy he can be outside and do some work.
Next weekend if the weather is good, we have a yard/garage sale that should generate enough cash so we can order the quarter panels. Until they get here, we'll be cleaning up the door and fenders and getting them primed.
