New New England Duster Owner

Hey there all!
I'm Tika, from Maine...proud owner of a 75 Duster undergoing 'rejuvenation'...hubby bought her for me while he was deployed, she sat much longer than we planned after he returned, now she's gone to 'the shop' for makeover...
I'm here to pick up tips and get some ideas on where to go with her as we work toward getting her on the road.
Want to keep her as close to stock as possible, with a sweet sound system, improved suspension and brakes, and a paint job and exhaust that both sneak up on you and whisper 'hey, check me out'....
Totally up for advice and helpful hints...

From another New England Duster (`71) newbie!
