1969 Dodge Dart Swinger clean up
My back was nice enough to give me most of the day off, but I did get some stuff degreased ready for the blasting cabinet.
AV100LL is the best degreaser there is and at about 1/2 the cost of buying something like watered down Industrial Purple degreaser.
Torsion bars nicely degreased, ready for blasting and paint. 51 years old and the one torsion bar still has it's assembly line Blue paint dash on it, showing it's for 340 engine cars only.
Transmission mount ready to take off. I always take a picture as some go flange forward.. some back..
Quick dip and a bit of paint brush action and she's clean.
Leaf spring front hanger bushing bolts are always fun.
Passenger side came out easy enough. "Nice" 51 year old bushing.
Drivers side is another story. It will have to wait until I have the springs off the rear axle and try to press it out then. Definitely a car that was driven in Winter. Everything on the drivers side shows signs of running that salt trail down the White line!
