New Mopar fan, 1971 Dart swinger

Welcome to fabo
I would save all the CC stuff I'd say it's fairly rare in an A-body.
The side trim is often riveted on under the rubber strip .
Later years like My 73 I just got are glued on and are simply shed on a hot day LOL ! The emblems typically have a plastic sleeve and can be gently pried out.I've heard of people removing the P/S pump but that's really not the way to do it .look for a manual box and convert it if that's what you want. The drift problem could be an alignment problem . I had a similar problem years ago where when I started the car the wheel would want to turn to the right.It turned out to be the block on top of the ps box where the hoses attach .I had removed it while the engine was out and it was not bolted on correctly .There's several o-rings under it that seal it up I'd check that connection first.
Looks like a nice car I seldom see cars that have the bumperettes on both ends as typically one bumper would have been replaced due to a minor fender bender at some point in it's life .I see Ca. Plates does the car still reside in California ? Just wondering I live in the S.F. bay area Myself .
Welcome aboard and have Fun with that Dart ! :cheers:
