Dad’s 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340
So it’s been a few since my last update. I’ve been working on mundane stuff. Checked over the suspension, and it’s solid. Front brakes actually look good. Gonna need to work on the plumbing, which is a mess. Got the engine and transmission out of the car! Good news, it’s the original engine! With the interior being switched around, I was half expecting it to be a replacement. Nope, VIN number stamped (well, half stamped) above the pan rail on the passenger side matches the car. I also think this engine was originally red. I’ve looked, and so far can’t find a hint of bluish or orange. Which is good, because that is the color we want to paint it.
