1970 Swinger 340 Hemi Orange 4 speed
I got the back of the car completely stripped and forgot to take a pic. This long weekend I'm gonna strip the rest of the car down and get it ready to be blasted for the following week if everything goes as planned. I had a lot of trouble getting the rear valence off.. It had about an inch of bondo behind the license plate and I couldn't figure out how it was held on there because the bolts were bondo'd over! It looks like my car had a trailer hitch at some point of its life (has holes in the spare tire well for what appears to be an old hitch) it explains why the rear valence was all smashed in from someone's attempt to back up to a trailer. I can't believe someone put so much bondo there!
I'm also rounding up a bunch of parts like the headlight buckets, turn signal hold down brackets, hood latch, truck latch, door latches, regulators, gas filler tube and a bunch of other various parts to get bright zinc plated by a local shop my work deals with. Any bolts that are salvageable will get redone in black phosphate.
