Hi! I am new to the forum and new to the scene of not only A-bodies, but new to restoration work. I don't have to much of a background on cars, so will probably be looking for a lot of advice and guidance!
I just picked up a 74 Plymouth Duster. It has some rust, but not to bad, a lot of surface rust. I will be the 3rd owner, an older woman bought it brand new in 1974 and gave it to her grandson when she passed away. It's all original from the wheels and hub caps, to the car jack and spare to the keys and engine. It's a base model slant 6, no A/C, no power steering. I paid 500 for it and he says all it needs its some gas and a battery, plan on cleaning and rebuilding the carb and emptying the current gas.
My plan is to drive the car and slowly work on restoring it, my question is where are the prone rust holes in these? Any advice on where to start the restoration?
Thanks and hope to hear from some of you and share some great future stories!!
p.s My name's Chris! if it matters at all, I work full time and I'm 23 and excited to get rolling!
