My fun cruiser- '70 Swinger
Hey all
I know its been some time since I last updated this thread, been mostly lurking and learning new stuff from everyone, but i thought I'd share some new photos since I just got the car back from a week's stay at the body shop. Since I bought the car in sept 2020, it had some large dents and dings right at the leading edge of the hood , so I figured if I need to paint the hood, I'm going to do it the way I want to. It's no show car, just a fun Slant-6 cruiser.
Did the factory-style 340 hood/cowl blackout with factory-style twin scoops and factory-style hood pins (just because). Also added the chrome hood lip and fender moldings I got from members here which were not on the car (not sure if they ever were). While it was there, for good measure we added a factory-style Bumblebee stripe which was placed around the existing side moldings. I think it looks nice, total attitude change.
Only thing I'm not sure about yet is adding "225" hood scoop callouts. I'm still on the fence.
