Duster_n00b here!
Hello everyone!
I am joining this forum to get any advice on my Duster project I got going on. A little background on my car, she is my parents car since 1975. It was passed down to my brother and sisters and then to me. It was my high school car in 2004-05. It was an awesome car to take!
I got a new car (Dodge Caliber) and she was on the back burner for awhile. Recently last year I started to get in to a paint job on her. The B5 blue was her orignial. Went with this kid that said he can do it for a good price. I took up on the deal and said it would be done in 2 weeks.
Well, long story short and 9 months later , the car was beginning to rust because he never primed it and I got it out of there. Now with a new body man its just as slow but progress is coming and hopefully I get to touch my car again in December.
Looking forward to all of your advice and projects!

Welcome to the forum!
As a fellow Duster owner, I can say that I love this little A-Body! I am on I think my 4th Duster now
Body work can take a long time. I had a buddy that had his '68 Barracuda in the paint shop for years...so, don't feel too bad.
Just remember, if you can throw lots of money at it, it will get done faster. Time and Money are what it takes. Usually one or the other.
Post some pix!

Welcome to the forum, and these guys are right, body work takes along time if you want it to look good. As long as you stay in touch with the progress on your car and your body man it can be a long but rewarding process, take pics of the progress and post them so we can all see
