Photos - Project Update - The Wife's Swinger is Getting Close...
Hey Adam,
It is a 71 paint scheme on the grille.We both decided we liked the look better.
Actually I just decided that it was far easier to mask off and paint that way!!! LOL! The '70 vertical slats are silver in the front half and black in the back half; too much work without a paint template...
Tire size: 255/60/15 on 15X7 Rear and 225/60/14 on 14X6 Front. Both SBP.
Hood scoops are Ma Mopar originals. However, I bought them from the guy that owns Stinger Fiberglass (he advertises in Mopar Collector's Guide) and these are the originals that he used to create his molds from. I've heard several people say that his aftermarket versions are some of the best around.
Definitely a 1970 model. The front seat is out of a '73 Scamp - hence the later head rests. The car had some gawd-awful japanese bucket seats in it when we got it so I immediately set about finding something more suitable. The wife wanted to retain the column shifter so I focused the search on a bench. Found a nice (blue) seat in a Scamp that was DRIVEN (what a waste!) into the junk yard - we (the wife jumps in and helps out sometimes) pulled tons of parts off of that car. When I ordered the interior pieces from Legendary I went with the correct seat covers for the '73 version (in black) just in case there were any changes in the seat frames and the door panels and everything else were ordered for a '70 Dart.
Thanks for the compliment on the critters! The GSD pups are Quinn on the left, a five year old boy. Madi (Madison) in the middle, a two year old girl. And Leyna on the right, a three year old girl. Quinn & Leyna are both AKC Registered, and Madi was snatched from a kill shelter in South Carolina last summer by my lovely wife who would give a home to every one of them if she could... And in case you're wondering, yes, they love to ride! My '74 Duster currently does not have a doggie-slobber-free window in it...
