1969 Dodge Dart Swinger clean up
No issues Matt, part of it is I'm new and most don't know me here or how much information I offer up on a daily bases over on FBBO , usually with exact assembly pictures for what a member is asking "how to" on. I have about 10,000 from the Bee restoration alone. Photo evidence is something embedded in my brain, as I document every customers airplane build from start to finish and it just carries over to my own work. I've been wrenching these things for over 45 years and what you had in your long post is a lot of what is going to happen, but beyond a re and re. It's all going to get cleaned up properly. If I have it apart it may as well be done right.
I noted your "I bet you paid top dollar for it" and as I was married at 20 years old with $13.84 in the bank and a bun in the oven, some 38+ years ago, I'm pretty frugal with my hard earned dollars. I actually paid 30% less than any other road worth 68/69/70 Dart currently for sale in Canada.
Yes she looks and runs really nice, but I don't consider a shiny body and paint job a restoration especially when the engine was painted in place, as were other things like the horns, wiper motor etc.
We're all good and if you happen to need some hardware next time a DC3 / C47 or Norseman rolls across the tarmac or some AN fittings.. give me a call ! lol Wayne
