rumblefish's Duster project
Hey all. Let me start this thread out by first saying I have come across alot of people looking to do up there 318 some. While the questions I read are offten simple, some are not. Also, theres the question of how cheap can I do it. Well, this hobby is not cheap.
A recent MoPar Muscle headline stated on the road for $900. Well, if your lucky enuff to find a car like theres as cheap as theres, then your in good shape. But sometimes, getting a real nice car for $300 isn't going to happen.
I'm going to list basicly everything from start to finish, but will not include every last can of paint, cleaner or tube of gasket maker. I don't know what you have in your box or how cheap you can get things. But cheap is the way I'm trying to do this.
So it starts. The basic story is I needed a thing to play with. I went out to the local paper and found a '74 /6 Duster for $1200. The price was a fair one and there wasn't mauch to argue over it. So here it is. From step 1 and 2.
Duster, $1200
4 new tires, about $300, I'll have to check on there total.
Valve cover gasket. Couple of bucks.
But nothing else was needed.
I was on the road!
