Where did you source your rotors? Did you use RPM on them or something else? Looking really clean!

Gonna hate to see this come to a close....awsum job Brent!

Rotors came from Rockauto, even though the ones on it were still in spec. I coated them in satin clear. I didn't want to use RPM because of the heat an dthe fact it turns liquid when hot. The spindles are painted in cast iron, again for the heat soak.

Dave I'll be a little sad too, but happy that its done.

How do they Rock Auto units compare to your originals in shape and detail etc?

I didn't compare them too much, as I figured the rotors had been replaced. They were about 1/2 way used up according to the min wear specs and the width of the new rotors. I boxed them up and put them in the attic so I can look at them if you need me to.

You've done an awesome job!! The car looks great!

Thanks OhioMopar! Love your Swinger 340

WAGON IS SOLD!! I spent all afternoon spending $ like a drunken sailor at a Ttty bar!

I got the (correct looking GE) headlights and bezels installed today too.

Still on the fence about the wheel combo..Ralleys either way, but its either 14" with Polyglas tire or 15" with BFG's (235/255)....

14" with Polyglas tire

Wheel decision has been made, going with OE look and E70 Polyglas tires.

Todays 1st project will be the exhaust system. I called the local guy here and to make a long story short he said 2 1/2 from the manifolds wouldn't work and to buy a set of headers first... Great guy but since he wouldn't do what I wanted I ordered a TTI exhaust that I can install myself, making either option cost the same. I'm not wild about the hangars but the packaging and customer service was great. After the daughter goes to pre school its off to the garage..

Good tire choice Brent! You will love that TTI system...I installed the same system on the white car and it fit supurb! Great bunch of guy's!

I'd be done by now, except that I got sent an automatic headpipe instead of a 4 spd one...and the drivers side will not fit. But TTI is sending one and a return label so I have to give them a for great customer service.

Onto the next projects:
Wheels and the dash assembly. My box of goodies from Mike at from BEA should be here this afternoon....

The most amazing part is that Mike will even speak to you....Being a lowly A-body owner al all

Well the exhaust is 3/4 done, waiting for the correct pipe to get here and then I can tighten it all up.
I also installed the new weatherstripping only to find out the trunk seal with was the wrong one and 2 feet too short. It was for a 70 Dart...waiting on that now too.

Got my dash stuff from BEA. Mike is great to deal with! Dash pad fit good with minimal trimming around the studs,and I had to drill the 2 screw holes on the sides. I was little disappointed to see the grain on the pad wasn't same as the original (see the pic), but it looks and fits great nonetheless. I'll work on the bezel later.

Decklid should be done by next week...

Doesn't look like I'm going to make the show on the 29th with Duster.. But I should have it running by then

Shame about the wrong pipe.
The grain on those pads looks like a softer vinyl?Any more pics to show form and quality?

How about some more part pics? Great job Brent

Well Brent, it looks like there were either 2 different vendors for dash pads (using different vinyl) or there were two different vinyls used because BEAs dash pad that I got matched my NOS pad as close as you can get.

close

The pad fits great, probably a little stiffer/ les pliable than OE, IMO. My pad was definately the original, but its a minor detail really. I almost fillet'd my knee open working on the exhaust so I'm taking a break.. Heres a peak at the dash installed and the bezels in place. I'm gonna switch over to that probably and take a break from fighting with the exhaust.

The new head pipe fits great,and I have return slip for the worng one so I have give a big to TTI's customer service.

Back to work and then lunch.

Big difference between the two.
