Beginning of the End - my 73, 340 Duster rest-o-rod???

OMG!!! Just under 2 years since I've added to this - not much to add at this point anyway except; Life gets in the way, I've gotten all the L/R sheetmetal welded in (I call my L/R quarter-panel "Franken-Quarter" = you'll see when/if I get around to posting some pictures, --> I think there are a total of 5 pieces of metal counting the remnant of the original quarter...), and the car has once again returned to its former state of "non-glory" being a storage container. That said, I have been playing with cars in the mean time when I can, but only with those of the non-MoPar brand so I'll only mention them briefly as they are pretty cool cars from back in the day and belong to good friends of mine:
1- 66 "Rustang" conv., 6-cyl, auto. I've spent most of my "working on cars" time on this one. Its not really a bad little car, 30 year old redo that my friend and his college buddies (West Pointers) did back in the day. We've done a bunch on this "driving car" mainly to get it running as close to correct as we can with the cobbled together engine that came with it when he first bought it = has a 63 exhaust, a mid-70 head and I think a mid-80 block, the trans is original as is the rear. Its now running pretty decently = doesn't stall every time you come to a stop or try to take off from a stop, his "new" ($500-ish) 1-brl carb was an offshore re-pop that we had to have rebuilt, corrected many vacuum leaks, new timing gears & chain, figured out what the engine liked as far as the idle and initial timing to keep it running "as good as it can", at least it doesn't stall anymore and the "tip-in hesitation" is now almost un-noticeable and I finally convinced him to add power steering (not the stock POS type but a Borgesen "box" and pump conversion kit - very nice! BTW). We recently added new rear springs and rear sway-bar, which really helped the car drive like never before. "But" when we added the rear sway-bar I noticed the frame rails are weak, thin and a bit to the point where I told him it might not be really safe to let his daughter drive by herself. So now we're looking at front/rear/left&right rail replacements. Who knows when we'll do that.
2- 73 "Corvette" aka "Dork-mobile", at least its a 4-speed, T-roof car. Friend/neighbor purchased it about 5 years ago - installed stock type crate engine, new exhaust, all new suspension parts = every friggin bushing and bearing! Most recently had his seats re-covered and I installed new carpeting. I got to tell you these C3 cars are the most miserable to work on cars I've ever worked on-enough on this car.
3- 67 Falcon Sport Coupe, V-8 auto. My Bestest and longest friend's car. He purchased it about 3 years ago, it has (soon to be "had") a mildly cam'ed C-code 289 (this C-code means a 2-brl) that runs nicely and with the recently installed 3:70-ish posi actually gets out of its own way. The car upon his purchase was going to be set up for a big block = big block springs, welded-in frame connectors etc. but the owner decided to go in a different direction. What we're doing is installing a new Blue-Print 347 stroker he purchased, really nice engine from pan to carb ready to go making 417hp/430tq at the flywheel. Progress is slow as we're cleaning and repainting the engine compartment.

Well enough on those cars, just wanted to show that although I've been neglecting my own project I haven't been just idle... More to come soon???
