Ok, so we've had this car for a few years now. Purchased it with the full intent of turning it into our weekend cruiser with a 340. It ran perfectly with it's /6 with 83K miles. Even took a 2nd place trophy at one of the local "all Mopar" car and truck shows in the A-body "stock" category. Or as my wife put it...you usually only see the "after" finished product on display at these shows. We were there showing off the "before" product. I think it was cool that it got enough votes to take 2nd place.
Anyway, we finally began it's de-construction phase so I thought I would post some pics of what's been done so far.

So, I've been nagging my wife for a while that we needed to get started on the Duster but she kept telling me that we don't have enough room in the garage and there is no practical place to store all the parts coming off the car. She is right of course. So my solution to this problem...
A mobile parts storage sled. Now we have a place for parts that we can move out of the way when we need to access other areas of the garage. :glasses7:
I also have a medium size crate that will get some casters and act as a wagon for the smaller pieces.

Looks like a good project. Like your idea with the parts sled. I work on mine outside and had wall-to-wall parts in the garage all summer till I got some stuff back together.
