1974 Dart Swinger

Well today I ordered the rear tires and instead of the Firestone Indy 500's, I went with the BFG Radial TA's instead. I little more pricey but I really like their look on 60-70's cars. I purchsed 225/70R 14's for the rear through the Fort Hood Army AirForce Exchange Service, (AAFES). I'll drop off the rims tomorrow and pick them back up after work. Tonight however my son and I pulled the rear rims off and painted up the brake drums and checked the internals. Once the rears are on, I will be getting the fronts, (205/70R 14's) and it should really make a difference in the appearance. I'm not sure who's more excited, me or my son! My son was checking the underside of the car in what appears to be him napping as I paint the drums.
