Went to the local cruise night last night. My good Mopar friend Jim, brought his new creation a 1969 Dodge Dart Scamp. I’ve know Jim for more than 40 years. We worked together at the police department same shift for years in the same zone. He is one of the smartest MOPAR guys I know. He’s fit right in here. Originally from New Jersey (still has the twang) he came here with the Air Force and stayed after marrying a local girl.
He got this car a few years ago and it was a shell no engine, transmission, interior, etc. He did all the work himself. The first time he found a 360 engine rebuilt it with a transmission, ordered the interior and put it in, all the wiring, and painted the car. It took him four years. He drove and showed it for a year.
Last year he got the wild hair to put a hemi in it. He got a 5.7 out of a 2006 Charger. He did all the fab and wiring and shoe horned it in as he commonly tells the lookers. He crafted a new dash also. It turned out really nice.
