1969 swinger getting her back to life

[mismy69swinger]

Lookin' good! What you've done so far looks real good. I love 69 Darts too. I bought a gold Swinger 318, column shift auto, tan bench seat deluxe interior car new in Sept. 69, enjoyed it and learned a lot about working on cars as I did typical mods to it, 4bbl, cam, headers, duals, 8.75 suregrip axle. Unfortunately, it got rear-ended and totaled in 74. I found another 69 Swinger right at the same time that had minor front-end damage, and it was a 340 4sp. car! Paid $400 for it. Took pieces from the first car, and swapped on disc brakes as well. That car was a lot of fun, looked very plain with dog dish hubcaps and a basic flat hood, surprised a lot of people. Unfortunately, it too got rear-ended, by a drunk on Christmas eve. Merry fn Christmas! Hope you have better luck with your car and get to enjoy it for a long time.

Dang I hope I don't get hit but I will not be driving it that much. Not going to be my everyday car. Get you another one what could happen?

Keeping an eye on this one from the north.
You will have to let us know how the front fenders work out.
I have been waiting for months to order a set myself.
Nice build and good luck with rest.

Looking at your build I see you went with a different block then the first block pictured. Any reason.

i got first one and somethings were not right about it so i got another one. i still have the other one but it was going to be to much to fix it. maybe oneday i will male something crazy with it

The second should be a little better block. 340-6 verses 340-7
