Bought my 69 Swinger in 1980 saw it for 4 years from when it was NEW

My 69 Dart is green also but I don't see very many mopars in this shade of green. Everywhere I go I get nothing but compiments. Hoping to take it to Goodguys here in Scottsdale az. this weekend and that will tell me all I need to know.

My name is Paul I have owned many Abodies and one Ebody. My first one was a 71 duster 340,from the time I was 17 and now I am 58. In 1969 when I was 12 one of my Washington post paper route customers bought a brand new 69, 340 Dart Swinger 4 spd. I tried for several years from 15 to 23 years of...

I was born in 57, in 1969 was finally old enough for Washington Post paper route. Only had route a month or 2 when I came around a bend in the road and saw this green glow under the street light!!!!! Been a mopar lover since. Anyhow 11 years after first saw that green glow under the street...

Hey doc glad you got your car back!!!!!! All I can say is [some peoples kids!!!!] I sure hope you keep at it as I have learned a lot reading your thread, and that I thank you for that!!!!!

Really looks great and the orange paint is the turning point to me now its going back together!!!!! But in some ways it is almost a shame to cover up your above and beyond work, I know it has to be, but damn there almost is no part of that uni-body you or your dad have not massaged!!! But its...

Clint, even though I am not running anywhere near as productive, heat generating engine as you but I have a recored 4 core original radiator with shroud and a direct drive fan[7-blade] and my car runs 195 all the time without a thermostat. BUT you have to keep in mind when it is 110-115 degrees...

George it looks like you are making great progress, you will enjoy it so much when you are done.

I live just east of the intersection of Gilbert and main street, it is the first street east of the intersection I spoke of. The name of the street is Chestnut, All you do is turn south then turn left on Alpine and I am the sixth house on the left 2245 east alpine ave. Where is your new house?

Man this is cool I just got done reading a 69 Dart build a day or so ago, and had 408 also I believe and the guy had never even been on a drag strip---first time out for car and driver and went 10 something!!!!!!!!!!!! Have the time of your life when you get it going!!!!!! I think it was...

Hey there fine69 do you have pictures of your car on here somewhere as I would love to see another similar to mine. I have owned mine since 1980 and drove it clear into 88,89 when I parked it. I got it out of storage in 2013,dec. and started work on it. Do you like the wheels? Is yours a stripe...

Clint, just finished reading the whole thread!!!! Nothing but respect and admiration, I went through teething problems and my Dart is pretty much stock. But you stuck with it and what a car 10s out of the box!!!!!!! Great job!!!!!!!!!

Yes now the garage is built lets see some serious progress!!!

I was wondering what happened to you, or if you changed your mind. Let me know. Paul

Doc, I am sincerely sorry to hear about that body shop guy just flat taking advantage of you. I wish I could help out in some way but I am probably just to far away. But it really pisses me off!!!! When we did my car I was down there where my car was every day sanding on it in 115 degree heat...

Enjoyed reading your thread, thanks for taking the time to post it all, and I know all about being overwhelmed!!! But if you take one step at a time and plan your work an work your plan you will be cruising it no time!!!!!! At least you have solid body to start with. Here is a pict. of my 340...

Right now I am battoning down the hatches, big dust/storm rolling into the valley of the sun[Phoenix], but before that I was putting in a new pertronix did get it running, but not happy with where I set the timing

I would be happy to go look at it for you, and report back whatever you want to know. I live in Mesa Az. [a suburb of Phoenix] just let me know. I don't want know money or anything like that. Just give me an address and your concerns.

LOL , I am sorry, it happened to be quite late when I was reading your thread but I couldn't stop so I was probably cross-eyed when I read that part. Its a miracle I got that close, but its still great that you take the post, I have learned a lot from your writings. I have the utmost respect...

From everything I have read I do not think you would have been happy with a restoration shops work. Compared to your attention to detail, they would not hold a candle to you!!!!! And I think that I read that you are a pediatric surgeon, you just keep being OCD no one will ever complain, no...

OK I am working on it, scanner is giving me fits, I have another though if I can find it. I spilled a soda all over this one and it has not worked since.

George, I fought both sides of them Lower control arm bushings as well. Took 3 hours of beating and banging on one side, and 2 hours on the other side just to get them out!!! After that they went together perfectly. My name is Paul and I live here in mesa Az. If I can help you in anyway, please...

The only rust mine had was the passenger side front floorboard. The replacement was high quality and made that job really easy. your car looks pretty solid compared to a lot that I have seen, But the guys on this site make it look easy. Great progress!!!!!!

Looks like a pretty solid start, beautiful car when done. It sure is nice to have friends to help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just a picture to give you some more ambition Git her done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I go to the trouble of scanning in old pictures[from back in the day] would anyone care to see them? I have quite a few but I would do it if there is any interest

Tem enjoy every minute with your dad, as my dad passed away 2013, he was my best friend and biggest supporter when it came to my cars. He is missed!!!!!!

Man watching you and your dad work your magic is just inspiring!!!!!!!!!!! Oh yes forgot to tell you I posted a few picts. in members gallery of car in my friends body shop last summer if you would like to see

Many thanks to you for that in formation.

I did a search but really conflicting info., my question is quite straight forward. Is the resister on the wiper motor the same as the resister for the ignition. Mine came up missing when car was down. It is 69 Dart swinger w/2spd wiper motor, and I don't have anything to reference it with...
