    My 1970 dart swinger restoration

    I figure I might as well let everyone know that I do not plan to leave the exhaust sticking out as far as it is. I have ordered a pair of chrome exhaust tips and will trim the exhaust back to where it should be when I can measure how much to cut off to get the tips in their proper location. I...

    Well it's been a long road but I can finally start to see the end. I have to get her inspected, then I can get her Registered, and finally be able to drive her. This car has consumed 5 years of my life and countless $$$. I say I can see the end, but I am beginning to realize that there will...

    The guy who painted it this time has had it for months.When he took it we made an agreement that he would work on it when he had slow times in his shop, as he operates a collision shop and that is where his bread and butter was.After losing $1000. to the first paint shop, he agreed to paint it...
