I'm Bringing PIXIE Back!!
« on: February 09, 2017 - 04:48:36 PM »
I hope most of the long-time members will remember me!!

My name is Heather and I started rebuilding my 1974 Plymouth Duster about 12 years ago when I was 16! I have a LONG thread in The Classics board: "Updates on the Pixie Duster".

I am now 28, and about to finish the project I began long ago!! I went away to college, and moved around for several years, and I am finally ready to finish my beautiful car!! I know there are probably so many new members that don't understand why I am posting about a Duster on the CUDA CHALLENGER forum, but this was my first forum experience, and over the years of working on the duster, many of these members became like family to me!! I even went to Carlisle and met many of our Admins!!  :clapping:

Anyway, I figured out with the old, and in with the new, and while I'm at it, start a new thread!! I will be posting pictures here and can't wait for the day that the Pixie Duster makes her debut at Carlisle!! Its been a long time coming, and I am so ready to get this car on the road!!  :grinno: :lol2: :rofl: :grinyes: :thumbsup: :crazy:

And as always:  :bananasmi :bananasmi :bananasmi :bananasmi :bananasmi :bananasmi :bananasmi

Updates soon!!!

Glad to see your back on track to finishing the Duster. Sometimes life gets in the way and priorities change. The good thing is you kept the car through all of this and now you can finish your car. Keep us posted.

Everyone lets me post pictures of my Dart project so I don't see a problem with a Duster build.  All of your pictures of your project are gone though.  You should load all of your old pictures onto photobucket and post them again.

+1 on all counts.

So, how 'bout a pic?   I went through the other thread entirely and ALL pics are . . . G-o-n-E  . . . :-(

Good to see you back again Heather.

Good memories we had at Carlisle.

I once had a picture of you, your Mom, and April at our Hotel.
Wished I still had it for now to share.

Looking forward to seeing your progress.
Mike, Fremont, CA.

I am too excited! We went to start getting parts out of the storage unit the Duster is in, and are thrilled to remember all the hard work we put in to make this project have a smooth finish!! We loaded most of the parts we have into the truck and put them in the house! Tonight we will begin to go through and take inventory of what we have and see what is still in good enough condition for use. We are going to start buffing trim and get a roll on paint and body in the coming weeks! We are getting excited!!
