Moran I'm sorry but you have your priorities out of order

Here is an example of how they should read:

Do NOT drive the car
Fix suspension/frame
Fix brakes
Fix Power Steering
Fix electrical
Rebuild Engine
Replace Trans
Touch up body/ paint

Someone else in one of your threads mentioned how serious some of the repairs are. If you are a student, maybe you should ask yourself "can I really afford this at this stage?"

In other words it might be a wise thought to consider selling the project and possibly look for one less demanding. A start would be one that does not require such drastic structural/ rust repair.

Exactly. I saw the torsion bar crossmember and about had a heart attack. Many here would consider a car that needed those kind of repairs a good parts car. Uf that crossmember is in that bad of shape I'm certain there are many areas in the same or worse shape. It needs to be safe and you have school which should be a #1 priority.

Mason, I am usually happy to see a young person dig into a Mopar project, but I think I have to agree with @67Dart273 and @toolmanmike this time. Your education (and your grades) are your future. Your focus needs to be on classes, studying and GPA. Digging into an extensive project like this now would detract from your studies. You might think you can juggle it (and afford it), but you can't. These projects always take WAY longer and cost WAY more than expected. I am 70, and I've worked as an Air Force Officer (20 years), and at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka in Internal Audit and then Market Risk Analysis. Believe me when I say that I have witnessed MANY times the job opportunity differences between a college graduate with an average GPA and a high GPA. If you can afford to store your project until after graduation, great. I just don't want to see you neglect your studies now and regret it later.
