Thank you

Thank you, can't take full credit. This one was done when I got it. Im just tying up loose ends, fixing bad items, upgrading where its needed to bring this car to its full potential.

Right, it boiled the gas line and caused vapor lock, think it could also keep the carb snuggly warm lol.

Thanks, I remember you saying that about my 70 Swinger in my avatar a long time ago lol.

just going to get a piece of heater hose that fits from the engine to the firewall. Hanging the short hoses on a hook in case I want to change it back.

This stuff is coming off today. Going to get some heater hose and eliminate it. Funny you should mention. No matter how you start a car when its cold the coolant is also cold and would not matter lol. Saying that I have no plans to drive the car in super cold weather and probably would not...

Far as I know stock was 13s. those look like 13s, I have 14 inch rallyes on my 64

Yeah, I actually want to take that off. Just looks a little clunky and I'm not driving this car in cold weather so I do not see the benefit Thinking of getting a couple of plugs and eliminating the hoses and fittings. Hope that won't screw up the car.

Still items to update and change but its just about done. t done.

MAN, what a pile of junk!!!! Just kidding, wish I would have found it firts, NICE SCORE!!!! Chas.

Hey Greg, got a litle head, NICE! Isnt that G.I. Joe with life like hair?? Enough of that rabble, you sir have an outstanding looking Dart there. Like the color, the white interior and the nice detail. Makes my car look like junk!!! Chas

Did not get any headliner shots so here is a few.

A few pics of the interior job. This was done outside in the early spring. A little cold but LOTS of fresh air!!!

Thanks again for the kind words guys. Being a grandparent and having custody of two grandkids, Brianna (4) and Brandon (3) AND having a 15 year old daughter in the house leaves me little to no time to do much of anything to my car. That being said I am blessed to have the honor of having these...

Hey Sublime, how ya doing?? I have a lead on them panels you want, PRICEY though. Brand new, all 4 white in coachman grain (just like the ones on my car. The company who has them is Classic industries. Toll free number is 1-800) 854-1280, www.classicindustries.com. They list the panels for...

Picked the panels up from a guy in San Antonio a few years ago. Year one does sell them but $$$$$ In the end it would be best to buy new. This car is 42 years old now and just about everything used has issues these days. I am on the fence as to getting new ones myself as these are not perfect...

Steve, the cap is a stock 68 Cuda cap. I can take more deteiled pics but an explanation on how to do this will pretty much sum up what needs to be done. There is an adapter that was made by a guy on the FABo site a couple of years ago. His screen name on the site is formulaSvaliant. He made a...

Thanks for the kind words guys. the car does not look much different than it has the last 6 years ago or so but if I put pictures up to compare it would be more noticable. The emblems needed to be replaced, the 68 Cuda flip gas cap was pitted and faded and needed to go. I had a hell of a time...

Even more, Thats about it. Lots of work into the car, still alot to do. Im looking for some items. Anyone have some spare 70 Swinger parts they want to sell keep an eye out in the 'parts wanted' area of FABO for my 'shopping list'. Thanks, Chas

Some more,

These are the pictures of my 70 Swinger, (there are alot of them). This car was just gone through the last few weeks and everything was detailed. New emblems, new trim rings, buffed paint, tuned up, new interior knobs, and other assorted odds and ends. Now the car is ready for the 'cruise...

Look close guys. Front bumper is from a 72 Dart (jack notches), rear bumper is from a 73 Scamp, (jack notches and the upper bolt hole is a slot for them ugly 73 bumper guards), grille is a 72 Dart. Most likely there will be some odds and ends from different years but its still a decent car...

Yeah but cant get them for a Dart Swinger yet. I may want to do mine again with complete full ones as I have the quarters that go to the top of the panels on now. They are good but I guess if they start wearing out I could re-do them. By that time full quarters should be out. Chas.

Hey Sin, that 'joggle' will work. On the tops of the quarter make real sure your panel is in the right place. Get a spot welder and hit the seam making sure the panel is as tight as you can. leave a couple of inches between the spot welds and skip around some to avoid any heat isues even though...

Is the guage cluster that is out of the car going back in all stock?? Chas

The pic would have been bigger but something I have not figured out yet. I took a 2400X1200 pic and downsized it to 1200X600. It worked on the others but something about KB being more than 1.21 whatever that is. The only way I could get the pic to go was to shrink it down til the KB size passed...

Not What You Expected, Huh???

Hows the car looking???

Lots of time restoring these.
