Morning fellas ! Just wanting you guys opinion on a parts car I'm looking at. So after selling my 71 duster I somehow worked out a deal with another member on here, on doing some labor in exchange for a 72 duster. Pretty rough car but I feel like I got a pretty decent deal. The front windshield and passenger glass are both busted and was sitting for years so it has no floors. The hood and grill are in pretty bad shape been after a hood, was just going to spend the money on a shark tooth grill. Well I came across a 72 swinger same color as my duster, we kinda negotiated a little. Came too an agreement of $400 for the whole car after renting a trailer and gas closer to $500. Well I went to go look at it yesterday and it's pretty rough as well. Was looking to just put the whole front in on my duster being that it's the same color and kinda complete. The hood is rotted on the mounting point on passenger side. Missing fender extension I believe is the right name for it? On the driver side. Grill is busted which doesn't bother me much was gonna try and find a 71 grill anyways. Floors are solid front windshield is in great shape even though I can't use it might be able to get something for it, lower valance in pretty bad shape.
So my question is $500 worth a 72 swinger front end and Floors? Has anyone done rust repair on a hoods mounting section? I still have my duster hood and the mounting sections are solid, I was thinking cutting it out and getting someone to weld that section in.
Appreciate any feed back !
