Sooo i ended buying another project... But dont worry, the duster is still underway!

This project was a long time in the making, but it all started when my uncle had bought a 400 based 471 motor to 'put in something'.. 10 years later it hasnt moved from the corner of his shop and last year he approched me to find a car to build for his motor. I wanted to find a b body since we have a huge amount of parts left over from restorations so it made sense to persue it.

Nothing seemed to catch my eye until last week i ran across a 68 coronet 500 on craigslist out in Montana. Looked to be a clean, largly unmolested car and the price was right so i made a down payment and drove out on labor day to pick it up. Couldnt be happier with it needless to say so i drug it home!

Plan is to make it mechanically reliable with the 471 and not change the appearance of the car. Should be fun!
