1970 Swinger 340 Hemi Orange 4 speed

Awesome progress!

BTW...did you know the original hood scoop round seals were not rubber but made of foam? I have a set of originals and a set of non-correct rubber ones that almost look dead on too....but have to dig them out for pics if you are interested. Keep up the good work, hope my 70 340 Swinger looks this good someday:prayer:

Thanks! I did not know that.. I've never seen an original set. Yeah I'd like to see some pics when you dig them out! Have you started on your Dart yet?

Randy, I've taken more than a little time off reading your thread--it was actually a good thing as you've now achieved monochrome! I knew from the first time I read your account of the build on this car, it would be nothing short of magnificent--and you still have yet to disappoint. I absolutely cannot wait to see the thread update where you say it's running, driving, winning car shows--and the most important part--providing endless smiles as you cruise it down the open road.

Keep up the extraordinary work man--still tuned in

Thanks for the compliment! It's almost one colour.. Once the roof and trunk is epoxied it'll be. Hopefully in two weeks I'll be done with the roof repair. I am going to get my trunk lid dipped since I don't feel like stripping all the green paint off of it by sanding. Yeah it's going to be rewarding once it gets to that point! Hopefully it will be in paint by the end of this year. I can't wait to see the body in paint!

Randy, nice talking to you at the swap meet. Crosstown car show is on the 20th of June. Good chance for FABO members to meet. Kev.

Hey Kevin, It was nice talking to you too. I will PM you my list of parts I'm looking for tonight. I will for sure go to that car show, I've never been to that one yet.

Roughed in my door gaps by welding some 1/8" welding rod on in some places and adding welds to some edges.. It's not the final gaps, but it's close enough for now.. I wanna move on to the roof and get that done so I can get it up on the rotisserie and finish the bottom.









Tomorrows task!


Borrowed my Dads friends rotisserie.. It's pretty simple, but it'll do the job. I have to make some adapters to mount it to my car, which will be a lot easier than making one from scratch! (It was used last on a camaro and chevelle)
