1970 Dart Custom

To be honest, I sort of hate the name swinger, now. Besides the obvious sexual connotation, I sort of wish it was more like "r/t" or "superbee" or " 'cuda " or "Scamp" or anything really...

I am sort of glad mine is a "Custom". My dad seems to think Customs are sort of low drawer, and they were the rest of the years, but in 1970 Custom was high end.

Mine had a/c and had lots of stupid chrome and such, with a vinyl top and swanky interior when it started its life...
But I am not going to restore any of that.

It is now a heavily modified and very "custom" Dart, and since I won't ever sell it, I suppose the only one I want to impress is me :)

So, I guess my car will will bear this badge with honor (which happens to be the only year that custom was not written out in cursive script) :)

So, we got the new gas tank, sending unit, filler neck, straps, etc. on! yay!!!!

Was just about to start up and then nothing!
We put on a new ignition switch and pretty much everything switch, so I think we need a new engine harness as we were using one off a 70 challenger and it doesn't seem to be all there, lol...

Ordered on from Evans Wiring (1970 383 a body with electric ignition)... so we'll put that on when it gets here and hopefully itll start up for break-in!!!
