1972 Canadian H-Code 340 Dart Swinger Special Resto - Finally started!
Found some more evidence to support what my experts Cliff and Kevin theorized that this shell was pulled from the Scamp production line and put into the production of the special ordered “Swinger 340 Specials”. When they saw the bucket seat reinforcement plates on the floor pan this theory made the most sense. When I was stripping the rocker I found that this shell had at its beginning the pins for a rocker moulding that the factory boys knocked off ground and filled. There was no paint but the factory orange and the black I put on it. Unfortunately on this side they made a couple of holes that they just ground and filled so I need to clean them up and weld them closed.
Did a some sanding off of paint and e-coat to get down to bare metal prepping for a light skim of filler to get every thing nice and straight,
Ground off the Mickey Mouse sheet metal reinforcement that we made from sheet metal back in the 80’s for the Z-bar pivot,
Just have to nail down the exact orientation and placement for this proper support and weld that in solid,
