A tale of two Dusters

So I have made some good progress this week. I assembled most of the components from the box (see previous post), Worked a lot on my three-link design, and started on bodywork.

The components in the box turned out like this. They went together nicely and should work great. I am working on a new swaybar system before I put them on.



My Suspension is still in the planning stage. But it is a 3-link with either a panhard or a watts link, I am not sure yet.

And I got sick of looking at bondo flaking off so I decided to start messing with the bodywork.. This is after I helped the lose bondo off with a screwdriver.



Then I ground it down and separated the tail panel, cut out the rusty spot, patched it, welded everything back together, and ground down the welds. Unfortunately I forgot to take pics of all this. Until I got to the skim coat of filler.



Then I decided that I didn't like the rock ship rust spots on the side so I started working around the side. But I stopped so I wouldn't get carried away and grind down the whole car.




And that is about it for now...

Thanks for looking!
