Dad’s 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340

Was cold today, so didn’t do any priming. Passenger quarter panel is ready, and the girl should be priming that tomorrow. I DID make a piece of equipment. Well, it’s mostly done. A panel tree for holding panels. Modeled after the Steck Manufacturing unit. Materials cost $95 plus an old rim and some 1/4” plate I had laying around. It has 6 arms and should hold 2 panels (doors or fenders) for paint. I have to drill holes, weld on nuts, and weld fingers to the arms. Then it will be done. Nuts are being stripped of zinc as we speak (citric acid).
