Hi All,
Hello, I am Cricket, just signed up. Was referred by someone on Craig's List who saw that I was looking for parts for my Duster.
I am from Monterey, California, 39 years old and just recently got my drivers license after struggling with Epilepsy for 30 years. I finally found something that keeps me under control!! My doctor gave me the okay to drive, and to help me celebrate, my husband of 20 years bought me a 1972 Plymouth Gold Duster that a friend of ours had and I fell in love with.
During my first few months of driving, just before I got my license, we were hit on a one way street by a couple who was trying to make a left hand turn from the right hand lane, with a late turn signal. We were going up a hill, so I had my pedal to the metal, and rammed right into the driver door with my right fender, enough that the driver of the suburban couldn't get out of the car. His wife came out of the passenger seat and apologized, saying that they weren't used to one way streets where they're from! The cop even laughed at that one.
Anyway, my right front fender and front bumper need to be replaced, but we've had difficulty finding the right parts. The insurance company referred us to someone down south, but they sent us parts to a Valiant, which didn't fit the Duster, so we're on the hunt again.
I really miss driving the Duster, as I am now in a Honda CR-V. Definitely not the same feeling! While waiting for the Duster to get help, I've been working on a new paint job and new interior work. I made new seat covers out of blue jeans. Pockets & everything!! I am going to paint her blue and call her the Denim Duster!
I look forward to spending some time here with you.
