1972 Dart Swinger Project

I have a number of more personally important car projects that I have in the dream pipeline. However I felt as much confidence as I have in my own abilities, I suspected a budget "practice" project first might be useful to work thru some of the skills, lessons, etc needed. This bought on ebay, sight unseen nearby plain jane, dime a dozen, 1972 Swinger fit that bill nicely. A Pro tour/track day car was the goal ( i really dislike the "pro tour" moniker, seems its more for show then go, IMO). Any and all questions and criticism are welcomed, but with some basis, and that helps everybody.
Pic #1 I picked up the car, pictured in Orlando, and at the first gas stop, I had to remove the hideous rear pedestal trunk mounted wing.

2 Car had rust, but was complete, and was pushed in just behind drivers door from a previous accident

3 Smushed in quarter

4 After frame shop

5 We quickly dropped in a 360 with headers however it had a 7.25 rear end, it was only going to be a short lived joy ride

6 The 1972 360 was built by Dan "No Dyno" Davorak, with Hughes ported iron heads, SS 2.02's, Crower Hyd Cam,
Lunati chromed cast crank, internally balanced, Fluidamper, 9:1 Cast pistons, a real mild build for street.
Dual MP intake 650 VS, valley tray, windage tray, The already built SB 413 EFI Tunnel ram roller E head ported
rocket motor comes later.

7 The 904 was rebuilt with some upgrades, added a deep pan, and got a little carried away
with milling away excess weight from filter extension.

8 The Front spindles where polished. shot peened, cryo treated and yellow zinc plated.

9 The Wilwood 11.5" front brakes installed, with Alum Hubs and long wheel studs, brakes were grossly undersized by my error,
will be upgraded soon to 13" rotors sitting on shelf, aligned with max caster and negative camber, front tire is 265/17

10 Front frame needed slight clearancing for new UCA

11 I believe these are firm feel, very nice

12 LCA with stiffening plates, and most here likely know how little regard I have for this "following the herd" mod. Never again.
I did add a reinforcing washer to sway bar tab

13 The firm Feel grease lower pivots, nice, used Urethane bushings everywhere, added alum brake struts

14 I cutout the rear trunk for new fuel cell and other mods

15 SS battery tray, sunk into floor

16 Right side inner rear frame gusset, for new fuel cell cross member, reinforce relocated rear spring shackle, and reinforce
rear cage down bar. Plug welds hidden by added cross member

17 Drivers side

18 SS Fuel cell container, to be located front to re, with protective white wrap

19 Rear OEM cross member gets lighter

20 To be added fuel cell rear cross member, with protector bar
