Looks good. You would be surprised at how much of a difference in steering reducing the size of the steering wheel makes. Driving is significantly more fun for me now. Looks good. Post the finished product when you wrap it up.

There's always the ABS option. One could have it vinyl covered to match the interior. I'd imagine it would work out pretty well.

Either use the facory dampening material & jute or a butyl rubber dampener with an acoutstic foam. If you go butyl rubber the most cost effective is raamaudio.com. Read up on it, many think the butyl mats are for all sound insulation, they are not, they are for vibration dampening and you only...

I beleive I got mine from Redfish. Worked like a charm. Might try reaching out to him

Any members out there have experience with the stock style sound deadener? Year One offers it as well as Summit and would like to hear real world opinions on it. I'm nearly ready to lay down carpet & would like a little sound/thermal insulation in the Swinger. I Don't have a need for full Butyl...

Went with Classic Industries for mine & the quality & fit is awesome.

I just replaced my bench with buckets in my '73 Swinger & those look right to me as well.

Okay I have the factory parchment colored bench hinge covers from my 73 Swinger. Mopar part numbers 3689336 and 3689337. One Has A Crack Which Can Be Seen In The Pic. They Function Just Fine. If youd like em, wanna call it $20 plus the ride. Im sure theyll fit in a medium flat rate box. Let me know.

I may still have them. I swapped for buckets and sold the bench, but I think my covers are still in my garage. I'll check.

Interesting... How much for one of these?

Hoping I'm not the 1st to have to replace this guy. Anyone have any Ideas?

Have a missing nylon roller on the front most vertical track on my 73 Swinger. I've tried themoparshop.com & looked at RT Specialties but nothing seems to be a match. The factory service manual calls it a Bell Crank. I've enclosed a shot from the manual as well as the broken piece. Would someone...

Thank you much, I appreciate it. I'll keep searching.

Thank you. When you say early I'm assuming you mean 65-67?

Plan on using an early 70's era high back bucket. Not dead set on A-body but would prefer to stay as close to original as practical.

Thanks?

I'd like to swap out the bench seat in my '73 Swinger for buckets & am starting to search for parts. I've read several posts here & there seems to be some conflict on which year tracks will work in my set up. Some folks say 70-74 as long as it wasn't catalytic converter car, and others say that...

Just did this myself tonight. Made quite a difference!

Talk to a reputable upholstery shop & Let them know what you're trying to accomplish. Bring the frames & skins down & have a conversation. They may be able to build the foam for you or give you a few leads on suppliers.

I used a very small "L" shaped hex key. It works for me evrytime. Admittedly, until I actually got it apart the first time, I was at it for a while.

I think that's a good looking color combo the way it stands. If you decide to dye the interior, many folks have had great success with the SEM line of products. I strongly suggest using a good cleaner & adhesion promoter before spraying the dye. Either way that's a good looking ride. Good luck.

Need to recover the woodgrain on my '73 Swinger dash while I've got all the pieces out. I havent decided on Woodgrain or Carbon Fiber, but I'm guessing that the woodgrain is a safer choice. Detroit Muscle no longer has them listed on their website, although they still have the Carbon Fiber...

A local upholstery shop just quoted me $120 to recover my original in vinyl. A friend of mine uses them often for his Impala projects & recommends him. It may be another option for you since it appears to be rather affordable. I'm dropping my pad off tonight.

Use a Vinyl die like SEM or DuplaColor. Summit has the SEM if it's not available off your local parts pusher.

Trailbeast, I like your car more every time I see it. Those seats look great.

Here's a great how to when trying to decide what exactly should be done for sound/thermal insulation. It's pretty remedial & a lot more on the subject is out there, but this should point some folks in the right direction. This article does reference some products being sold on the site but the...

Raam Mat cannot be beat for the price. Whatever you decide to use, make sure to use a Butyl rubber product for sound insulation. Roofing rubber is fine below 80* but once it heats up up above 80* it omits a rather strong odor similar to freshly paved asphalt or tar & is not pleasant nor does it...

I know someone who used these guys, it looked really good but I have no feedback on ease of install etc... http://www.whitegauges.net/products/1970%252d1976-Dart-Demon-Duster-Dash-Cluster-Resurface-Kit.html
