skips 69 swinger resto

Thanks for the kind rermarks on my Dart project.Its nice to get compliments from you A body guys who have built and are building your own rides the way you like them.I have viewed many threads on this site and am amazed at the skill and knowledge that many of you have.Thanks again.
Now its back to chasing gremlins on this Dart, this one has been testing my patience,- on startup the brand new converter spit off a balance wieght that got rolled up like a cornchip by the ring gear(tought the motor blew as the sound was pretty harsh) and came out the inspection cover before I could get to the kill switch,so it was yank the tranny again and weld it back on the converter properly this time as the guys at TCI obviously could not do it!#@%*--then it was not charging-Replaced the regulator ok now--Then the oil pan mishap--now have a leak at rear of the pan so its off with the pan again--not that I don't have better things to do.
Trying to keep a happy face thru all of this stuff.
Ok enough wining back to work.
