Iron Empire EP 79 - New Car REVEAL! + DIY Engine Bay Restoration!

[@MLR_Leigh]

New merch looks mint

[@andrewhughes1949]

That engine bay looks the goods in the thunderbird

[@mattlee576]

I think swinger means Canadian made

[@aussie_mopar]

I belive dart is the modle and swinger is a package From different trims to badges and wheel package

[@markbehr88]

Cool episode. The Swinger name didn’t stand for anything, just a basic trim level. I wouldn’t mind the wheels.

[@scotttomothomson]

Looks awesome 👍

[@anthonybollini3699]

The dark swinger package is a vinyl rough power steering power brake disk disbreaks automatic transmission in the 318 usually they had air conditioning too as part of that package they were very popular also it had an upgraded interior well done man well done

[@sgan937]

Man I love that shape Thunderbird 😍 looks mint 👌

[@IndianMick]

3 days into the engine bay cleanup I would’ve thought it’d be quicker to pull the engine out

[@TheIronEmpire]

Never that easy mate

[@IndianMick]

@@TheIronEmpire good result either way 👍🏼

[@TheIronEmpire]

Cheers mate, we’re pretty happy with it!

[@123nlusky]

I know the twin scoops is original but the scoop on the VG looks 300% better than those twin things in the example🤷‍♂️

[@TheIronEmpire]

I agree… buuuut different car, different bonnet, different build.. so I think it will look good!

[@tongoio]

Man I can only dream of all that shed space and cool old cars. I have to make do with a single carport garage roof, one project at a time and only on Saturday arvos. Still, I get to stand and stare afterwards with a beer, which makes things shine a lot more and things don't seem so bad..

[@keithbray5131]

How much did the dart cost and what do you prefer the dart or the vg,?

[@TheIronEmpire]

$20k - VG still my fave haha But Dart is better bang for ya buck!

[@keithbray5131]

@@TheIronEmpire I prefer the vg but the dart scoops look better

[@robbo8566]

Love that dart

[@gregsmith3366]

I have a Dodge Dart and found the bonnet scoops on eBay in Australia . Good luck 👌

[@TheIronEmpire]

I shall try this! I think it needs em

[@marcusgayewski2776]

Great idea using foil instead of masking, will be using that in the future

[@honorrolls5415]

Hi Mark The swinger Dodge Dart came with a 340 two door hardtop coupe included Hurst four speed and vinyl top Love the T bird such a beautiful car and you made it even better Wow you said 40c thats 104 f here and your cute dog doesn’t look hot. That foil idea in the engine bay is one to remember Take care have a great and happy Christmas Bill in Fort Wayne Indiana USA

[@Haydntickford]

More videos on the courier! Yeah boyyy!😎😎👏🏼😂😂👍🏻👍🏻

[@MrJapatron]

Hey guys, loving the channel. How’s it feel with the LHD compared to what we’re used to? I’m looking at a Dart (1500km away so I can’t comment) but everyone is telling me to steer (pardon the pun) clear of it for this reason. What are your feelings on it?

[@TheIronEmpire]

Nah LHD is easy, ya don’t even notice ya on the wrong side after 5 minutes of driving 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@MrJapatron]

@@TheIronEmpire thanks for the reply, looking forward to more sick videos 🔥

[@brucerae5522]

Like the dart ya can keep the Thunderturd 🤣.

[@stevendurieu6938]

Great vid mark👌👍

[@julesknight9504]

Nice swinger Mark. Merry Christmas to your family and thank you for great content in 2021. Jules @ Jive Talking Garage.

[@hamishmcfenda4197]

Hi Mark, love watching the channel. I have an idea fo the online shop...the Iron Empire respirator for spray painting.

[@melissanudo9710]

Good effort job for a backyarder 🤣🤟✌️

[@lukeclarke8054]

[@daveooldham9850]

[@simonorgan9370]

No, no not the dart... They always think it's the dart 😂😂

[@aaronsmith8744]

That dart is cool! Keen to see it completed

[@EnviXR81]

Hey mate, if it’s nearly 40, what in gods name are you doing wearing a hoodie!! Haha

[@TheIronEmpire]

That was a different day man! Haha A lot of the videos are recorded over a few days

[@simcard027]

looks like uncle tony's bottle rocket

[@davidbarnsley8486]

That engine bay turned out a treat you really are the masters of the Italian tune up That colour is spectacular 👍👍👍

[@markmathews206]

Nice job 👍

[@stringybarkin]

Thanks for the foil tip, love that Dart too, good score!!

[@towking_]

How good is that Dart 😱😍

[@65Coasty]

Mate I suffered from bad allergies like you. I take Polaramine from the chemist. After 10 years I no longer suffer from it at all. Loving the Tbird. Such a cool ride 😎

[@TheIronEmpire]

Cheers mate Will try

[@Haydntickford]

I second this! I get it chronically bad! Polaramine is the only tablet that works for me. Have tried them all! So strong it makes you sleepy 😂

[@johnallen372]

👌

[@KingatowCrew]

love the dart ...good find mate well done

[@stevenbullock3228]

Keep up the good work and have a good Christmas Day

[@JAStheACE]

Handy hint,,,,, You could use the left over foil to shine the chrome with. It's about 40c over here in Mildura too, great vid thanks men, it gave me a few idea's too. Merch looks good so does the shed and the new builds. Thanks for sharing.

[@supagreein]

These are my absolute favourite Darts. I have pretty precise “plans” in my head as to how I would do one…can’t wait to see your project.

[@jimclarke1108]

Paddock drifting Dart, cool paint job, not sure about the ford next to it🤠

[@dannysmith5147]

Love the dart looks similar to the one dylan mccool has the steelies and dog dish will look good on that

[@troynixon209]

Best cure for hayfever is to find a local beekeeper and buy some honey. The antibodies to the pollen are in the honey. But it has to be local to your area.

[@TheIronEmpire]

Interesting

[@troynixon209]

@@TheIronEmpire worth a try.

[@adamperre4852]

Good stuff good score on the dart can't wait to see it done 👍

[@icascone]

So Ryan likes his EL Fairmonts like I do! haha yes slightly deviating here but really like what you've done in the engine bay of the T-Bird, what a great looking car, they certainly don't do style anymore!

[@rocker2480]

Some top shelf content on engine bay resto 👌can't wait to see the stripe go on that dart with those redwalls!😍

[@Mursaat666]

The name swinger was used to imply the car was free and fun to do what ever... Kinda like swinging was supposed to be back in the 60s. Dodge sure had some strange idea's to try drum up interest in their line ups.

[@damianratcliffe7328]

The dart looks like a cool cruiser, but I'd be careful with the SWINGER badge 😂😂

[@micka4697]

The thunderbird engine bay came out sweet🖒The dart should look pretty sweet also with what you said your going to do to it👌.Keep up the great work.🖒

[@blairread4414]

What a difference in engine bay....Tin foil is best hack ever 💯👍...mean..

[@johnc2227]

Another great episode! Have a happy and safe Christmas to you and the wife and the hound dog🎅
