    Thanks! Gotta love those old A bodies! Pretty light weight with enough room for a big block if you want! This summer I have put mid 70s Camaro buckets in it, a TCI floor shifter and begun the paint by doing the door jambs and rockers. Im hoping to have some time this weekend to do the trunk area and the rear end behind the QP extensions and bumper. After that I plan on pulling the engine and trans and cleaning up and painting the engine bay while I tear down the engine and send it off for machine work and then back for the rebuild over the winter. Ill be welding in an 8 pt cage and frame connectors either this fall or in the spring and then the interior will be put together.

    Alot of the Mopar guys I talk to really arent into what Im doing with the Swinger
    John, welcome to CHR. Sounds like a good project to me and I agree that it's up to you and you alone as to how you want to finish it. Could be worse, you could dump the 318 and put in a SBC or SBF or worse....maybe a ricer motor.
