Hey Keefer, i got a 73 Swinger at work that has whats left of its original carpet. I'll see if i can snap a pic for you sometime this morning. I pulled the column out but haven't disturbed much else inside..

that would be good. I have a pretty good idea now, but only saw 2 believed to be original. Not sure when I will do the carpet install. Gonna be a nice weekend here. think I want to switch back to the body and paint. try to finish a few details and shoot the grille area, fender bolt flanges trunk seal area and tail light area. That pretty much will let me assemble the whole car. Whenever down the road I am ready to paint I will just tape off most of it vs. tearing it all apart again. I will leave the emblems off and prob still pull off some easy stuff (side markers, maybe tail lights..)

unlikely, they would have had to jack it up to do it, while the durango has decent ground clearance, the Limited edition has running boards and a front air dam as well as a rear difuser, all that means that unless your no thicker than 6 inches, you aint getting under it
 
Picked up Eddie's Dart from the exhaust shop yesterday. Headers hooked up and x-pipe is in:

Hey folks. Guess who's pretty damn pleased with himself. Finally got to use my welder for some good. Now it's REALLY time for a shower then drop the boy off for soccer camp all weekend and then head out to the summer house to reee-laaax all week-end long.

See if these help at all. I have every reason to believe this is factory 73 Swinger stuff..

thanx. That's the first one I saw with the notch down behind the arm of the pedal. Can't see how that actually matters. I think they just tossed them in and some nut with a blade jumped in after them. From what I have found so far I think as long as it stays under the bracket of the gas pedal the rest is freestyle.

As long as you get full movement of the pedals, you're good. Unless of course your a concours resto kind of guy...
