Bit more than a weekend

[70DartMike]

I think it's a bit more work than a 'weekend' to get the rust. Fender, quarters, inners, and whatever else I can't see.

"1975 Plymouth 318 Duster V8, numbers matching.
Recent work on tranny (727 torqueflite), fuel pump, water pump, etc. Car has been repainted, interior redone, engine has been rebuilt with many performance parts.
Some rust is starting to show through (pictured). A few minor mechanical problems such as a slight brake wobble so the rotor needs to be machined, but otherwise a very solid car.
I have owned this car for about 12 years, and very sad to see it go but need the money for other things. This car (which i have named the Green Bastard) gets a lot of attention and thumbs up's and conversations about hot rodding, and with a bit of weekend body work it would be a very nice and reliable Mopar daily driver."

A weekend?
Maybe a long weekend!
Or maybe a month of Sundays?

Is that engine compartment even from the same car?

I can see why he calls it the green bastard. The name fits.

In the pic it is a bronze car.

One weekend and a couple gallons of Bondo from Wal-Mart would get it looking sweet.

LOL! I noticed it looked like ****, but I didn't realize it wasn't even the same car.

i think he ran out of armorall for the tires though he should have got another half gallon when he was at walmart

I gotta believe that the engine bay hasn't been touched since it was a bronze car, because if you also look past those hideous seats you can see that the sail panels are saddle or light tan colored, and the door panels probably are also, indicating a color compatible to bronze!! I'm sure this indicates the quality of workmanship throughout, especially under all that bubling paint!!!

Run Forrest, RUN!!!

Yes, but look at fenders and cowl, copper. Unless he took that pic at an earlier date.

I'll bet that engine shot was from when he first bought the car and ahsn't done a thing to it since!! Geof

to be fair, he says 'weekend body work' but he doesn't say ONE weekend.


Could be one of those 'every minute of every weekend for three or twelve years' type of weekend jobs

Takes your attention off the minor body work needed though doesn't it?
