    Turning a 74 into a 72

    Stan, the motor is looking great! What are some details on it? I'm just going to throw some bolt-on's on mine (edlebrock 4bbl intake, 600 carb, and headers) for the summer until I upgrade to a 360 so I'd be curious as to what you have.

    swinger resto project hits high gear.....

    Ha! Thanks. I was going to two tone it with the grey thats on the hood but changed my mind at the last minute. The red is viper red and the grey is also a dodge color. Its graphite metallic I think. Wer put a semi flat clear on it to mix the old with the new. I get a lot of comments on it...

    swinger resto project hits high gear.....

    no joke when we lifted it up i felt that i could have almost walked under it it was so high up. it was straight up and down almost and we dropped it in then put a piano dolly on the tailshaft of the tranny and everything slid into place. it really did go smooth.

    1974 Dart Swinger

    when i changed the front clip on my 74, the rad support must have been from an A/C car because my rad didn't come close the the holes and the opening was a lot bigger. i had to make some brackets out of aluminum angle iron and bolt them in. once that was done i was able to drill holes for the...
