New grill in, new turn signal lenses installed. Super special Dart Lite hood acquired from @halfafish installed terribly, but I’m by myself and I ain’t no body man! It’s gonna come off soon for some work and paint anyway.
Without those hood springs installed, it doesn’t feel very Dart Lite to me!

Hey, if I didn't mention it, use a gentle hand when closing that hood. If you manhandle it to slam it closed I've been told you can kink one at the hinges. I also recall (?) there are lighter springs for it that reduce that possibility. YMMV of course...
Green and silver, quite the color combo!

I removed the springs. I’m going to run a prop rod and add a rubber spacer/cushion on the pop up latch spring to keep it from punching through the aluminum.

Steering column rebuilt and temporarily assembled(needs paint and lower bearing)so I can steer this bad boy around. Tuff wheel looks good, not sure if I like how much closer it is with the crush can installed.

Loaded up, nice and late true to the project name. Headed to a 2 car garage, can’t wait to finish this thing once the move is over.
Wow, what a great build. You have done a ton of work getting it to this point. Well done

Finally have my own garage. Everything is still too crazy after the move to work on the Swinger, but I have everything for the 4 speed swap and will start making progress on that shortly.

yeah, you definately don't want to try pulling one of them on your own. they're heavy for two so not a lay on your back and slip it out job for sure

What lower bearing are you going with for the steering column? I got one off Amazon that works great.

I have done it that way every time until now hahaha I’m 34 and I’d like to think I’m a little smarter than 20 yr old me, but I’m probably just not as strong as 20 year old me. I’m excited to give it a go.yeah, you definately don't want to try pulling one of them on your own. they're heavy for two so not a lay on your back and slip it out job for sure
