    Progress - got the undercarriage/engine compartment blasted and going to prime it this week. What a messy job, but I did it and in 90+ degree weather. NOT FUN.

    Update - got the connectors and torque boxes installed. The torque boxes I got from Auto Rust - be aware that they need a LOT of rework to fit. Hammer time! Next step is the Alston roll bar which arrived today.

    I got the rotisserie from http://www.accessiblesystems.com/ Mine is the 3000 lb, fixed height model with rubber tires. I'll make 1 comment on the money issue - I'm 46, never been married and no kids. That was never my goal - my goal was to have a few Mopars and a nice garage someday...

    Update - finally got 1 connector done. Took a few weeks cause it gave me an excuse to buy a plasma cutter and other tools :) This is the first time I've cut/welded anything so don't expect anything great. This is for the passenger side, hopefully I'll get better and the driver's side will...

    Disassembly complete. Next step is to install subframe connectors. I really think this car was never driven in the rain. It was owned by an Asian woman since new when she donated it (!) to a charity who then listed it on ebay. I paid $2276 for it on ebay. Look at the pics to see the...

    1974 Duster resto started

    In 2003 I bought a 74 Duster on ebay, sight unseen. I didn't think my high bid would win but it did. Problem was, I live near DC and the car was in San Francisco. A friend said he'd drive it back cross country if I flew him out there so that's how it got here. Anyway I've got some pics of...
