1971 Dart Swinger - Here we go...

A couple of months later, I was curious about the front end.

I have to say (and for context) that with a busy job, a 2 year old, and the regular house projects/chorse, I only get to work on the Dart a bit at a time. The Dart is parked on the third spot in our 3 car garage, and this means that I can really only access the drivers side. For the most part, the car runs (unless a break the key in the ignition...but more on that later), but pulling it out means I have to have decent weather (it's Oklahoma), and enough time to make it worthwhile. So the drivers side it is...

I pulled the front fender off to get closer to the innards and see if there were any surprises. Luckily, it is in great shape. The fender is rust free, except for a tiny 1"x2" spot at the bottom (which I'll later patch). The previous owner had replaced the tires, break lines and brakes, and put new shocks. It all looked great!
