74 Duster 4 banger Street/Strip Build

Been making some good progress lately on Project Consuela. Unfortunately some of the rust was worse than I originally thought. My plans are to make an all new frame out of 2x3 box steel. I will be doing the ‘cage at the same time, so I can tie it all together. I also plan to tie the front frame rails to the cage so I can remove the inner fenders all together (no need for structural support anymore). I’m still trying to decide on what K frame to use. Since I’m doing this much work anyway, should I just go generic (chevy or ford = cheap) or should I stay with A-body ($$)?
I’m going to need a new floorpan. I know from 2 other friends experience that the AMD unit is a very nice piece and fits perfect. For their builds they worked great, but for mine, I’d like to find something cheaper, as I’m going to be cutting and hacking on it anyway. Thoughts?
Also, I need a new crossmember. I see that AMD sells them, but does anyone make a generic one WITHOUT torsion bar mounts? I’ll be using coil over front suspension so no need for them.

Questions/Comments/Suggestions are always welcome!

Thanks guys!!
