71 swinger resto/drag car

[fastdartswinger]

I bought my 71 swinger 3 years ago and have been very slowly going through the rest process. The car really didn't look that bad until I started to dig into the buckets of bondo covering up all the sins of the previous owner. So far I have got as far as putting a new motor, trans and diff in the car. Now I start with the body work. I put in new floors in the front and a custom trunk floor to hold my 20 gallon fuel cell. I am in the middle of putting full rockers on and quarters after that. Here are some pics so far.

A little bit of an update finished up the AMD rocker install then the right side quarter skin. Moving on to the trunk panel/rear bumper support and trunk floor modification for the fuel cell.
