http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/1275277080.html It's mine. I hate selling it, but I've been unemployed for about 6 months now and I just cannot justify keeping it in the garage. I've not had the money to work on it in a while anyway. This is a VERY solid car, and would be a great...

Great job Red! I've got the RoundUp in my calender - hopefully I'll be able to make it! Work has slowed, but I do have some more pictures to post. Sort of have run out of money I feel I can spend on this right now. ;-/

Welcome to the board. Love those Swingers!

Thanks Leanna. If the picture on your website is you - and I suspect it is - your defiantly NOT a guy, and not all that small where it counts! :snakeman: I've worked for international corporations and Mom 'd Pop company's; I know which one I prefer! Since being laid off (again) I've found that...

Thanks guys. Yeah, I need to get out there with some model paint and 'hide' those wheel weights. :P

What kind of prep did you do to the bumpers before painting them? Did you have the chrome stripped or?? Thanks!

Newbie Question: What's in Portland in 2 weeks???

I just put 245/60-15's on the rear of my '73 swinger on MoPar spec rally's (4 1/4" BS) with no issues. I suspect you may have a little rubbing on the wheel well, but you might be OK with just a little lip roll or trim. Be sure to post pics of them on the car! :worthles: :-D

'73 Dart Swinger 318/904 Front: 14" x 5.5" MoPar Rally 215/70-14 BFG Radial T/A Suspension Mods = none. Rear" 15" x 7" Specialty Wheel rebop MoPar Rally 245/60-15 BFG Radial T/A Suspension Mods = saggy springs

OK, I promised I'd post the wheels when I got them done. Here they are, all mounted up. The color is 20% gloss black, and I'm using '71 dark rally caps with the brushed centers removed. Lug nuts are new Doorman replacement 'open' style. I still have a couple minor things I'm going to do...

Today was a very good day! Have I ever mentioned that I hate Washington DOL? In Washington you can either go to a government office to get license plates, or an agency. The Gov't office saves the agency fee of $10, but you have to deal with gov't workers. Let's just say the trip yesterday did...

No Bill, I'm not young. Well, maybe compared to some here, but I have a 21 year old son! CudaChick - In hindsight, I should have taken the wheels to my buddy Bob. But, Bob does mostly commercial stuff (government and industry) and I like to help local "little" guys when I can. That said, JR...

Definitely interesting and different! I was just talking with a friend today about stripping the bumpers on my '73 Swinger and painting the bumpers. Now that I see your, I may just go that route. I'm not sure I like your grill, but I may also do something "different" with my grill. Viva la...

Nice, I love the old land-yacht's. Their is a '68-ish Coronet 4 door down the street that I suspect doesn't run but looks solid that I check out every time I drive by. ONE project is all I can handle though! Love the color too. Nice cruiser.

Nice mess. :) Your going to have fun with it, I can tell.
