Torsion Bar Crossmember Replacement
Picked up a ’72 Swinger recently. It has the usual rust issues (Quarters, Fender Extentions, Front Floors). The *BIG* issue, and the one I am going to tackle first, is replacing the torsion bar cross member. The original has a golfball sized hole rusted clear through it just inboard of the passenger side torsion bar socket, right about where the Tranny x-member is!!!!

Today’s progress/before/after pics (lowered).
Got the lowering blocks in today, and did some more stuff under the hood.

I met Rick Blackstock today
Actually he bought my boat. If anyone remembers him, he drove the Brief Encounter Jet car, Top Fuel Slingshot dragster and raced in the truck races in the 70’s and 80s’s

He had a stroke a while back and has been doing other things lately. Took my boat to his house and was amazed at all the pictures, Early Unlimited Light Hydroplane races on Lake Sammamish.
