Any good references for tearing down and restoring my Swinger?

[stimpy]

I have a 1975 318 Swinger with Air, and it has been rotting slowly in my driveway. I am trying to motivate myself to get it back on the road. It speant a lot of time parked under pine trees and in grass, so the rot is mostly on the rear quarters. I am trying to take the front driver's side fender off, but I don't want to ruin anything by ignorant prying on parts. Any online sources for good photos of rust repair, welding patches, and replacing body and trim parts?

Also, is this car in any way rare? I don't seem to see many 75 Swingers, and even less with the V8.

rare? well rare can be a frame of mind as opposed to a numbers thing. if you don't see many of these cars around where you live, then i would say it is rare. in reality many were made. how many are left today???? these cars look nice when redone. better than original in some cases.by todays standards these cars are alot easier and forgiving to work on. a factory service manual is what you need for tearing into it. it will give you pics and details. you can always ask here if you get stuck....
