Don’t worry? I have full intentions of eventually stripping the whole thing down for body work and paint but when I bought the car 5 years ago, I decided I can either tear it apart and have a car in pieces for 10-15 years (sounds bloody awful to me) or I can get the mechanicals in order and drive the snot out of it and enjoy it how it was intended to be enjoyed.
Once I get my 75 Scamp done (haven’t even started on it yet) where I can drive and enjoy it, I’ll strip the Duster down and do a rotisserie restomod.
I hate the word, but leave that one alone, as soon as you paint it, it will become a garage queen, my Duster was a decent driver until I painted it, I have not even took it out of the storage shed since it was painted.
And it is good cruising weather, the one I am building now, a old cuda will not have paint, so it can sit outside, not worry about scratches, etc, or sitting in the garage if the grand kids scratch primer, who cares.
