Dad’s 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340
Been working on things. Pulled the underdash wiring for cleaning, inspection, and rewrap. Also pulled the shifter for rebuild. Bought a kit online and pulled it apart. It wasn’t bad, just nasty. Needed a total disassembly and cleaning/rebuild. After disassembly I soaked the hard parts in that Berrymans stuff. I took the case, cover, bayonet, and shift levers to sand blast and epoxy primer them. I know the carrier is in that picture, but I did NOT sand blast and paint that. I taped off the working surfaces of the shift levers and went to work. It shan’t rust anymore! After a week of cure time I reassembled the shifter. It feels so good now! Black shifter knob to match the rest of the interior. Had to pulled the fine thread insert out of the stock white one and press it into the black one.
