1974 Dodge Dart Swinger 2dr

Button,

I'm glad I'm posting again as well.
I've been following your thread closely and have been disappointed I could not update this thread the same way.
Unfortunately, I don't think I'll have any actual updates done to the car for a while.
I'm in college full time and I live at school, so it doesnt offer me a lot of time to wrench on the Dart right now.
Still, what little free time I do have allows me to scour the internet and FABO for parts and information related to the car and the things I'd still like to do to it.

I've wanted that Grant GT wheel for the car since I first started looking at steering wheel replacement options when we bought it, and I just waited until I found a deal on one.
Now I'm doing the same thing in looking for wheels and tires for the car, taking my time and looking for several specific wheels that I like and that I dont see at every cruise night.
Considering that we really do need new tires before next season, I'm on a slightly more limited time schedule, but thats alright, I've got all winter to look.

There aren't a whole lot of other specific things I want to do to the car, other than paint it.
The rust hasn't been entirely controlled in the rear quarters yet, as the novice bondo work we did during the summer of 08 is starting to bubble out in some places.
I'm thinking right now that since we really don't have the money to have the new rear QPs that we bought hung on the car and have it professionally painted, we might redo the bondo to the best of our ability, do the prep work on the body ourselves, and then get it painted a good basic color by either one of my friends or have a Maaco $259 Ambassador paint job done.
I'm a huge LH (Intrepid, 300M, Concorde, LHS) enthusiast, and there were some pretty good looking factory colors offered on those cars, so I'm thinking of having it painted an LH color just for something different, and because the paint won't be terribly expensive, being a factory color and all.

The Hammerite rust cap paint has been working great to protect our floors.
We haven't had any more rust issues with the floor or the trunk, so I would definitely recommend it.

I'll continue to update the thread as time goes on and I have more ideas for the car, and once I find a set of wheels, I'll definitely be posting about those as well.
