1974 Dart Swinger
Happy Thanksgiving to all! What would turkey day be with out good food, football, and working on the Mopar in your driveway?! We didn't do a great deal except replace some fasteners for the rubber piece between the front bumper and fender. The front license plate bracket needed to have some bolts replaced as well. However we did decide to remove the hot air shield from the right manifold since we are not useing the old air filter houseing any more. It was held in place by three- 7/16 bolts which I'm sure had never been removed in 35+ years. One bolt snapped off as soon as we torqued on it. No big deal since I didn't plan in reinstalling it. Supriseingly the bottom one came off very easily as did the rear bolt. The removal of this sheild does seem to further enhance the appearance of the engine bay with less clutter.
We still want to polish out and wax the passenger side of the car over this holiday weekend if we get the time.
