70 Plymouth Duster, pro touring project

[scikotictc232]

Hey there I have a 1970 Plymouth Duster I bought out of Denver, Co to use as my project while attending Wyotech. So far I have back halved the car and started getting the three link mounted, but will probably have to wait till i graduate to finish it. I have made inner and outter rockers for the driver side of the car, when i picked up the car it looked really solid but after digging into it she has a lot of rust that has to be replaced before I go any further. here are some pics..

here are a few pics of what I have done so far, I still need to build a fab 9 rear end so I can complete the three link. So far the frame rails and cross members are done and the completed system will be similar to the one lap camaro, except ill be running wider rear tires.

has anyone ever replaced all them things at once on a project ? or know anyone that has, mainly i have a good idea on where to start and finish but trying to get any tricks that might save me headaches. I started to replace the driver side rocker with one that I bent myself, but since the inner rocker is also bad and the floor is bad, plus the missing floor where i back halfed the car i might have to wait till i get home to do those repairs. I graduate in 7-8 weeks and have to trailer the car from Wyoming to Washington about a 19 hour trip pulling a trailer. I am currently taking trim and upholstery classes where I think I am going to redo my interior so that when i have my floors done that part will also be done. I still dont know what color I will paint the car so its going to make the interrior work harder to decide on, any suggestions ? I like the plum crazy purple mopars a lot.
