I did not have a digital camera back in '03/'04 when Khal440 and I ware over-restoring his '72 Swinger in my garage (Which I basically got evicted for, but that is a whole different story) 
That having a roof over your head thing is wayyy over-rated anyway..
Good to see ya getting it done! 
Bah! I can always find another. Won't be ab issue when I close on something here in the $189K range, though!

STILL don't have it in.
Here's today's pic update though.
 [/image]
(I mix this with rum )
Welding and grinding finished. Light coat of filler ready to block before priming and paint.
Motor/trans together with headers and RTdude's old carb.
On the dolly I welded up. The front half disconnects at the motor mounts and under the oil pan to take the K Frame when it is out and finished.
I got the old 318 out of my way too. Gave it to my friend Steve to use in his '64 Dart GT. VL29G3B336092 is no longer a #'s matching car.

I have some pics from when we dragged her out of the field, too.
Looks good so far! I'd like to see those field Challenger pictures though also 
Prior to the blue doors. I got this car for free originally. Rust? what rust? you mean that stuff on the surface 1 or 2 places?
We were going to redo the original doors but they had enough dents and dings and one of them was creased where a tractor hit it. The blue ones were cheap and straight. Came with a $700 '70 parts car.

We want burnout pics!  ... in a ritzy neighborhood too.
Back when the Duster was still a 318 car I was driving it out to the beach a LOT in my early 20's. I loved nothing more than roaring thru the sleepy little town of "Bolinas" (Google it) at 3 am with the duals roaring like Lemmy. Take that, you quaint, sleepy little Marin hippie town!

Just got back from some more work. Got the engine bay painted (Say it ain't so!) so I guess that means I have to paint the car, now.  I feel like a closet painter now, oh the shame! Oh well, I'll primer the next one. Also enlisted some friends to help me push her into the garage the other direction, so now I am ready to drop the K-Frame and get to work on the much needed F/S rebuild (Polygraphite this time, and going with the KYB's again) Anyway, here are the latest pics:     New planter box?  Okay, so I lied. My 318 did not have 517,XXX miles.  The last line on my maintenance log was taken at the last oil change 2000 miles before. Dashpad was nice until I moved to Davis in '04.  Legendary new at 250K  Legendary at 519K  Who needs plastic woodgrain? Or anything else. Got a "Panic" button tho!  Gonna need new exhaust tips.  Some of my welds.  Look, guys...RUST! Maybe I should part the car?  Mmmmmmmmmmmmm...Cardboard headliner.  I think I might reupholster it with Contact paper. And back in the garage the other direction. Stay tuned for the K-Frame removal and suspension rebuild.

looking really good! great before and after pics. you are making serious progress...but if you paint that car it will be like the end of the pre-smog era, or the beatles breaking up, or finding out there is no santa. just the end of an era, and the sad realization that you can never go home again.
Think of it as the beginning of a new one? Or the return to a very distant one? (Note the Mom and Dad's old '85 Colt Vista.
Hell, next thing you know I'll have a mullet again!

So when you say you're gonna paint the car you mean with a fresh coat of Primer right? 
No, it'll be a normal glossy shade of white, but I may do it with a roller.
