1973 Dart Swinger Build
Hi Guys, I am a MOPAR Newbie and I think I like it!
I decided to chronicle my build here to not lose focus on the car and to also seek help when the need arises. I am very glad that there is a wonderful community with knowledable people that help out each other. So to everybody.. Thank You so much.
The car would be my weekend car, more of cruising than racing but would be nice to have the extra oomph. I love the PRO STREET looks, fat tires on the back but no roll cage..yet.
On to the build!
I recently purchased this vehicle early Nov 2012, I bought it out by Apple Valley, CA and I left it with my In-laws for a couple of weeks since we went out of town three days after the purchase.
The car looks like it has good bones, straight body, Good interior except for the messed up carpet, cheap front bench upholstery that did not match the rest of the car and the gunk on the engine BUT it ran! Registered, drove it all the way to my Inlaws which is about 3 miles away. It does have a bad water leak, (looks like a pump problem) and a little tranny oil leak. Oh yeah, it's Green on Green.
Sitting at the INLAWS driveway, the day I bought it.
The night I got home, I started ordering stuff, my wife is telling me that I should take care of stuff before we leave rather than reading and buying stuff over the internet. (hahaha! Silly Women!)
