1970 Dart Swinger Project

[conormulroney]

I thought I would show the reason I joined FABO. It started as a project for me and my sons about 2 years ago. But, now they are both off in college and have no interest in the car. So I guess it is up to me.

Here is where we started after removing it from a 5 yeear nap under the redwoods in the Santa Cruz mountains


With a nice original 318

and why doesn't anything work on my dash?

Here is where I am now


Slightly better looking engine compartment

And interior

It has a long way to go yet, but, it is finally time to get some work done. I've started with the dash. I'm trying to get the gauges working. Then it's on to the motor and then body.

I'll update as I progress. Thanks for looking

Best of luck with the project! Looks like a decent starting point...Keep us updated!!!! What are the plans? These '70 Swingers are funnn ;)

plans are to make it another daily driver for me. Clean it up and just a 318 / 904 driver.
I received my DeMonIVR in the mail today (very fast service!)and I am now sure the fuel gauge is bad. I guess I will post and ad in the wanted section to see if anyone has a replacement.

Looking good. Keep it up. That will make a fun beach cruser.

I just got a cherry dash cluster from Mopardude318! He was kind enough to drive over the hill from me to deliver it!! That makes my dash restoration project so much easier. Combined with the DeMonIVR I bought, I think my dash worries may be over.

Hey! There you are Conor! Glad everything is working out for you. If you need anything else, let me know! I'm just a fun drive away!
