1974 Scamp #2

So here goes members, I started a new build. First let me back up and give you a little history on me and why I went with a 74 Scamp.
It was June 9th 1987 and a young 18 year old boy bought a 74 Scamp off a little old lady for $400. It was a baby blue car with a white top. At first i thought there is no way i can make this car cool let along fast. It did come with the 318cid motor. Had wore out leaf springs and hub caps and all. So I took it home and started out by changing wheels and tires and the SS/ leaf springs. Next was paint and motor up grades. Well long story short I got the car running low 13 on street tries. Next came the nasty rust starting to show a few years later. So in 1993 I parted out the car and hauled what was left to the junk yard. Man, I wish I had never did that.
I had been looking for the last few years for another Scamp. I came across a good deal on a solid California car back in Nov of 2015. So the deal was made and I went in Feb/2016 to pick it up. I had never been out west and had some vaction time I needed to use.
I got the Scamp home a week later and in the pole barn and setup to start working on it. I plan to make it look like the old one I had back in the late 80's but just dont need another fast car or money pit. Just a good driver is the plan.
I'll keep the updates coming and as the weather warms up I hope to get more done.
