1972 Canadian H-Code 340 Dart Swinger Special Resto - Finally started!
Back at it today, removed the outer tub Kev (scatpacker), I considered maybe sectioning the tub but after buying the tub and then getting a look at the work involved I decided to put the whole thing in. It's not that difficult and like Randy (Hemiorangeswinger) said its probably a toss up as far as the time to section or replace.
Got a peek down the inside of the rocker and it seems pretty solid and hardly any rust flakes or debris inside but did notice two bondo spaghetti sticking thru 2/3 of the way down so must have gotten a crease in it so I'll have to excise the White Lightning and pull the crease out and weld up the holes.
Got the tub and trunk drop roughed in place, going to need some more finessing but they seem to fit pretty decently.
Not a bad weekend for an old painter! lol!
