So it's been a while. I've been doing what I can when I can, and learning a lot. Trying to keep up with parts etc as I deconstruct things, so I have it to go back together. I'm cutting quarters, rather crudely, but I need to get a look at things. I'm pretty close to finishing off the quarters, trunk floor, and inner fenders. There's way more rust in here than I thought when I got it. But it could be worse. Well, plugging along. Soon enough it will be time to replace panels, and put things back together.

Just stick to it and you will get there eventually. And dont get discouraged. Well done so far
 
What are the options on this car ? Demon or Duster . Auto or 4sp ?
Worth the effort !

Been thru the same thing on my '70 340 Duster...its not the rust you see but the rust that you don't see that creates the bigger challenge. Patience, perseverance, and some $ will make it worthwhile. :thumbsup:
