Hi everyone,
I just joined today. I am buying a 71 Dart Swinger from a friend of mine. I hope to pick up the car this weekend.
It has been sitting for 2 years. I went and looked at it the other day. It runs and drives but needs TLC.
It is a 318 / 904 car with a vinyl top. It also has the 7 1/4 rear and drum brakes all the way around.
I will be researching front disc brakes and another rearend and convert to a 4 1/2 lug pattern.
It has some rust just under the lower part of the vinyl top and the passenger side quarter panel. The rust will be my first task to tackle.
Since the car came with the top, I will be installing a new one once the rust is taken care of.

I also have a 72 Challenger that was an 8 year project. It was basically a re-body. It had so much rust.
It now has a 400 big block stroked to 505, 727 auto and dana 60.

I know this is a Mopar site, but I also own a 56 Chevy wagon with a stroked 383 and 671 blower.

Thank you for letting me join and I'm sure I will have tons of Dart questions once I get the car home.
