To Restore or Not to Restore

I know these cars are getting harder to find

harder to find is an understatement

i sold my '68 dart with it's running 340 for $900 back in 1990

i could shoot myself now

the best i could find in my price range that wasnt almost rusted away was a '74 duster "project" car ... i got the car. it needs the floor pan, both fenders, inner fenders are cut out for headers grrrr, quarters are rusted.

trunk is ok, frame / undercarriage is ok.

k-frame was cut wrong for a schumacher kit so the 413 shortblock sitting in is tilted by about 1" or 1.5" on the drivers side.

front end pieces are shot. only one rotor, one caliper.

hemidenny is helping me out i'm buying one of his setups. the floorpan is getting welded in. i have an engine getting built at a local machine shop.

i have a long ways to go for something i can ride in but it will be worth it. i can tell you right now im not selling this car for nothin' :tongue3:

yes they are very hard to find and you would be smart to keep your baby
