I have a set of Aspen/Volare seats that I got out of an early 70s Scamp. I know the seat tracks are different. Are the frames and foam the same as a body buckets?

It is fun. It needs a transmission as it still has the stock 200k mile 42re. Needs tuning too but it runs good enough.

2001 Dakota. My grandfather bought it in 2002. I inherited it in 2012. Swapped a 360 in a few years ago. Needs bodywork and paint.

I’ll make one out of sheet metal. It doesn’t have to look perfect. I really need quarter skins too. I might try goodmark for those

Yes, it does but my that section of floor is solid except for that rear section. I would rather not replace it.

That’s what I figured. I guess it’s time to get some sheet metal. I’m going to replace the trunk floor, extensions, and the tail panel with a 73 and back

Does anyone make a repair panel for the area behind the shock mounts and ahead of the spare tire well?

I’m changing the tail panel on my 74 Scamp to the earlier version. The one I have is in worse shape than I thought. I would like to find one around central Missouri or south Arkansas

I don’t care if it’s original but I want it to look like it could have been original. My Scamp was originally Tahitian gold with honey gold interior. It’s getting painted spinnaker white with either green or black interior. Everything will appear original except the engine. It has aluminum...

Osage Classic Cars This is the first I have heard of it. I might try to make it but won’t be able to enter anything.

I live in Columbia and work in Jefferson City. At least until my girlfriend graduates from vet school. Forgot to mention that I restore cars for a living.

Thanks! I have read that a few times. The car is more than likely getting an American auto wire harness as I can get them at cost through work.

I am considering swapping a 71 Rallye dash into my 74 Scamp. The only thing that concerns me is whether or not the 71 ac controls will work with my 74 box. I suspect they will but I haven’t been able to compare them.

I have not yet. I’m from south Arkansas and my girlfriend is from northeast Arkansas. We will probably move back over that way.

Thanks! I’ve been considering filming a video series of the restoration
