Progress on the 71 Dart Swinger

Thats the cleanest 318 2bbl Ive ever seen. Looks real good !


Only cause everyone yanks the 2bbls off and adds 4bbls!! It is not really that "detailed". We are just building a driver car. ( I gave my Dad a hard time for not painting the crankshaft pully bolts!!) :) :) Anyway, the car went back to the bodyshop this morning for final paint. They are painting the area behind the grill, inside the trunk area, redoing the black on the interior door frames and of course redoing the FE5 exterior. Like I have mentioned in other posts about the car. IT will never be a show car or even close for that matter. It is just a project that my Dad and I have been talking about doing for the better part of 15 years and I could finally afford the car and the redo (not resto) and my Dad had the time since he retired in Feb. Now that this project is getting closer to being on the road I am trying to find a 68 or 70 Charger to replace one the cars that my Dad had to sell to put food on the table years ago. If I can find one of those (or a 71 RR,GTX or Satellite which I had in high school), we will take our time and do a better job on the rebuild. But I could not see paying to power coat the suspension parts, paying to sand blast all the brackets and things like that on this car being our first project in a long time. But IF we can get ahold of another Charger (or RR) I will do it right!! :) Now off to search for a project!!! :-))))))


By the way,
THANKS for all the compliments!! I really appreciate it!!!
