Looking for advice. Want to build a Duster to run on a budget.

I just need it running, guy. I have the rest of my life to get it perfect. I have a family of 5 on a single income. Why not make memories with my kids wrenching on it while they grow up? I don't have room to store it off the street that isn't on grass right now and it's not something I want rotting away on grass. I just really don't see getting a better example for the money anytime soon, prices just keep going up

Yes, I would keep looking for a Duster at a good price. As others have mentioned I would get it safe first as far as brakes,suspension etc. I would then get it looking good. With a family of 5 and no garage space you can see how to do that on a thread I have her that I posted for people in your situation or simply don't want to spend a lot.

If/when you get in a better situation you can acquire the parts you need over time and switch things out in a short period of time. With your car being safe and looking good you and your family can enjoy it now as well as in the future.
