    Fire Extinguisher Mounting Location

    I'm looking for an ideal place to mount the fire extinguisher in my 73 Swinger. I can't use one of the fancy front seat mounts that sits just in front of the seat adjustment arm(s), as my floorboard is raised in that area. Also, my car doesn't have a cage to mount it to. Any suggestions or...

    Best way to mount new seat rails?

    My 73 Dart Swinger came w/ a bench, not buckets. As a result, the original 4 bolt holes (2 per side) are really far on the edge of the floor pan and are not an option. I drilled 8 new holes (4 per seat) in the floor and located the seat bracket where I want it. What is the best way to secure...

    I'm running a Mercury Cougar hood scoop on my 73 Swinger and I'm looking to seal the air cleaner base to the hood to make it functional. I'm using a 11" K&N X-Stream element and lid. I'm batting around the idea of using a non-stick 12" cake pan to make a new air cleaner base. My question for...

    I have a 73 Swinger with a gold vinyl top. It's got some age and some tears. However, it's going to be a while before I can get a Legendary replacement.

    Budget 17" Wheel Option

    Has anyone used the 05-09 Dodge Charger/Magnum 17X7 steel wheels on their A-body? The bolt pattern is the same 5X4.5. A set of 4 very clean wheels only cost about $300 shipped on Ebay. It looks like they have 4.5" backspace. These should fit fine on my 73 Swinger, correct?

    Found my dream rims. Tell me it's not a nightmare.

    I'm looking at the following rims... Question #1: Is 5X114.3 bolt pattern the same as 5X4 1/2? Looked it up. They are the same. Question #2: These wheels only come in 15X7 +38, which I believe equals 15X7 with 5.5 backspace, correct? Question #3: Will they fit inside the stock fender wells...

    Stock 14" Rally. What's my max width tire option?

    My 73 Dart Swinger currently has 235/60-14 tires on the rear, mounted to stock 14" Rally wheels. Do you think I can bump up to a 245/60-14 without any clearance issues? I'm running stock location Hotchkis rear springs, Competition Engineering Slide-a-links, and stock fender wells with stock...

    Any Dart swingers Pics w/ a less traditional scoop?

    I'm in the market to modify or replace my hood and don't want the same old HEMI or 6-pack scoops. I'm thinking Thunderbolt style teardrop or cowl induction. Any thoughts or images to share?
