Hi Everyone, from a new 73 duster owner!

[HaFa1]

Hi Everyone, have been lurking on FABO for a while now but decided to finally make an account. Starting to do some interior work and this seems like the best place to get some advice or parts!

About me, just turned 23 and got my first real project car, have worked on some old cars before but this is definitely a massive project. Got a '73 Gold Duster (slant 6) and have some plans for it, rumored to be sitting in a barn for around 20 years but now runs and drives. I'd like to fully restore this old boy but for now am going to focus on the interior. I got a 340 Small Block that needs to be rebuilt but that's a project I'll start later.

Here's some photos of the car!

Cruise for sale parts section here on fabo. I think there's also a parts wanted section.
Probably parts near you, tho near might mean a lot further there than some other places, right?
Junkyards? See what google says.
Don't be afraid to restore some parts yourself. Not only to save money, but it can be very rewarding to bring an old part back, and you're always learning something.
A lot of parts going to scrap because people buy new instead. So guys that have spent years gathering up parts are taking loads to scrap.
So buying used parts will help members out.
