Motor Trend/Hotrod article: 1972 Scamp restomod by Pure Vision

As an owner/builder of a 72' Scamp, I'm happy to see they're getting some love. :)

It's a cool car, no doubt. And there some subtle interior mods that most people would probably overlook if they didn't know the car (like how they used a super-rare heater delete bezel and then modified the empty face plate for the controls). Or how they re-textured the dash bezels to remove the faux woodgrain.

Beyond the obvious mods, that little attention to detail is cool and appreciated. And it take a TON of time to do.

My only gripe with this peice is the orientation of the stripes. From a visual perspective, I don't like it when stripes are perpendicular to each other on the same car. Meaning, you have a hood stripe that runs parallel to the car, and then the bumblebee stripe that runs horizontal. It creates a visual 'T' and it drives me crazy. IMO, a performance car should always look like it's in motion, even when it's sitting still. When you start crossing stripes like that it takes away from the flow, and my eye focuses around the C-pillar rather than the overall stance of the car.

It's art, guys. Art that we drive. Sometimes it won't make sense to everyone. But I think we can all appreciate the effort it takes to create it.
