I will soon be replacing my 1964 duratech orion with a 1981 starcraft,which I will restore during the winter.
The duratech is a bit too close to my heart to just scrap.If you know someone who is into duratechs please send me a private message.

Yes, he did a very fine job, I need to say something more to him about the emblem job...he really saved it and it will hopefully see more generations. It's always a pleasure to see these older classics (Duratech or not) that folks have restored. Mine was basically scrap material which had more potential value by the pound...until I found it. My family barely saw me for 3 months during the resto.
