1974 Dart Swinger
Today we made our way back to the Budget Pick and Pull. My son removed the rubber strip between the bumper and body which on our Dart is dry-rotted and falling apart. This car was in tact and we had not been able to find one through Year-One or the Paddock so we quickly took this part. The front seat was very firm and didn't sag like we were sitting on the floor so we grabbed it as well. I know it's from a 4-door but we never planned on people sitting in the back of the Swinger anyways so we pulled the front seat as well as the back seat since neither had rips or tears. Next came the front brake rotors. Our Swingers are pretty bad, (grooved). The drums on this 4-door were ruined so we left them but we did pound out some wheel studs that we needed for the Swinger. We also found a 6 blade "flex-fan" blade on a 318 powered truck that I believe should bolt right onto the Swinger. We cleaned it this evening and will polish it up this week and install it before the car show.
After we were done with the Dart, we headed over to a truck to remove a chrome bumper to replace the crappy metal/white one on my 1972 D100 that I will be starting on this summer.
We plan to attend a car show next weekend, (the 22nd) with the Swinger. It is sponsored by a local Dodge dealership, Dodge Country here in Killeen. The show runs from 1100-300pm. I'll be sure to post more pictures as we go.
