1976 Plymouth "Gold Duster" 225

Hi all.... I'm Tom from Central PA... Stumbled across this site checking availability of parts for the Duster I am going to try to get this summer.... From what I've seen in surfing this seems like the site for me. It's so nice not being surrounded by Kids in Rice Burners playing a man's game... My First car was a 69 Charger Daytona, that had NO issues with throwin rubber and asphalt at any little H that rolled up thinking they could do it.... This will be my first Mopar since than, and lucky me It's a 1969 Plymouth "Gpld Duster" with a slant 6 90% solid body (the lower "Mud Splash" areas of both quarters are gone), Trunk pan is solid, floor pans and supports, are toast, calipers and drums are seized, from sitting so long. Best of all..... Hasn't been run in about 15 years. The guy who owns it said "I can git 'er goin'." To which I PROMPTLY responded "No thanks, I got it under control." That was a bullet I wanted to dodge.
I'm just trying to see if I am getting in over my head, or if this "Gold Duster" is deserving of the TONS of TLC it needs to be an asphalt eater once again.

Thanks, hope to make good friends and maybe some contacts
Tom
