Quote: Once again this is still how some of us build our Mopars.
And you think mine is different?
I have rebuilt the motor, trans and rear diff myself with a generous helping of elbow grease combined with combing sale ads and ebay for the best prices for used and new parts (as needed)
The body was stripped down by me and everything was referb'd by me with the exception of the paint.
The most expensive "hard parts" on my Duster is the $700 heads from Hughes. The shortblock was from a '94 Dodge van that was rebuilt in a shed along with the trans and rear diff. The car even still has the original torque converter.
I'd not call the car "show" more of a clean driver.
I can make a buck go pretty darn far and I find Mr. Passon's transmission price to be more than fair considering the clean sheet design and projected sales numbers (or lack thereof).
