1970 Swinger 340 resto
I built a garage to store the replacement car in1988 with a concrete floor. As long as I lived there I kept the floor dry by maintaining a ditch at the uphill side. I moved in about 2004 and the new owner let me leave the car there. However he did not keep the ditch open and the concrete became damp. When I retrieved the car two years ago rust had got to the trunk floor and interior floor. A word to the wise. I Often said rain had not touched it since 1988. I did not realize dampness from below was getting to it. One picture of bringing it out of garage attached along with one picture of it after acid dipping. I also found out at that time it had been wrecked before I got it and bondo’d.
