Steve Strope has been working on my '71 Scamp for awhile and he just gave me rim dimensions needed for the rear wheels. I spent two weeks looking for 17x9", 5-spoke rims with 5.5" backspacing without success. Keeping in mind the "sleeper look" I'm going for, cop car steelies would look great...

Has anyone here ever installed a drain plug in their 8.75" rearend? I seem to recall an article in Mopar Action or Mopar Muscle from a few years ago where they said you could drill and tap a hole and install a plug, but I can't seem to find it. Any help would be appreciated!

I was skinny pretty much my whole life and decided a couple of years ago to get in shape. I did a few rounds of P90X, but wanted to get bigger. I've finally hit on a routine that seems to help me grow. I started doing Stronglifts 5x5 about 9 weeks ago and have gained 6 pounds over that...

A study by the University of Hawaii Department of Psychology reveals that older men may have difficulty with computers and Internet technology. Initial analysis suggests this may be due to brain aging, prior alcohol or drug abuse, and/or shrinkage of the occipital lobes -- resulting in...

...just stopped in my store to buy some treats for her dogs. She's always so friendly and still beautiful. That woman just doesn't seem to age...

Looking for a-pillar trim for a 1971 Scamp. Black preferred. I'm in LA, CA.

A kindergarten class was given a homework assignment to find out about something exciting and relate it to the class the next day. The first little boy called upon walked up to the front of the class, and with a piece of chalk, made a small white dot on the blackboard and then sat back down...

Best friends graduated from medical school at the same time and decided that, in spite of two different specialties, they would open a practice together to share office space and personnel. Dr. Smith was the psychiatrist and Dr. Jones was the proctologist; they put up a sign reading: "Dr...

I'm changing the steering wheel in my Scamp and I'm missing the nut that holds the wheel to the steering column. Can anybody tell me what size nut and what thread pitch I need? Thanks in advance...

My Hemi is getting old and can't be rebuilt, so instead, he got some new wheels... :burnout:

So I'm having doubts about being able to hook up at all on my '71 Scamp. The absolutely largest tire the rear wheel wells will accommodate is a 255, and I have a 408 smallblock with a big-*** turbo. Unfortunately, I've already done body and paint and don't really want to go back and do a...

So I started the P90X workout routines a few months back. This series of workout dvd's are advertised on infomercials. I know what you're thinking, but this proves that not all infomercials are scams! The program is a 90 day workout schedule and I just started to do it for a second time. In...

If you were ever in a coma, what would the one song be that you'd like the doctors to play, knowing that if your brain showed no activity, they could "pull the plug?" (Doesn't have to be your favorite song, just the one that would surely show brain activity.) I'll start... "Bohemian...

The Cindi Lauper thread got me thinking. What '80's bands did you love at the time, but that you're completely embarrassed about today? I'll start... A Flock of Seagulls (Yes, I actually had the haircut!) Spandau Ballet Haircut 100 The Romantics

Last week was my birthday and I didn't feel very well waking up on that morning.. I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my wife would be pleasant and say, 'Happy Birthday!', and possibly have a small present for me. As it turned out, she barely said good morning...

Got tired of the roll around my belly and the "man-boobs" and decided to get in shape. Went with the P90X program you see on the infomercials--GREAT workouts. As I got in better and better shape, I pushed it harder and harder. I'm now on day 72 of the 90-day program and have come down with...

Gwen Stefani, lead singer of the band No Doubt just stopped in with her little boy to visit with my two dogs. http://www.la-deli.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/gwen-stefani.jpg

Jessica Biel just stopped into my shop to buy some toys for her three dogs. Two boxers and a rescued pitbull. Very down to earth...and HOT!! :-D http://www.askmen.com/women/galleries/actress/jessica-biel/picture-2.html

http://www.speedtrap.org/ A friend of mine just posted this on facebook. Very neat site where you can sort by state and city, and find out where your local cops are set up for speed traps or other moving violations. Could be handy for when you get the urge to blow the carbon out. :burnout:

So you want to run a monster turbo, but that means you'll need a huge radiator, fans and intercooler. Don't think you can fit it? Think again!

Just bought my wastegate and blow-off valve Wastegate is a Tial V60 model which has the v-bands for in and out connections. BOV is the new Tial 50mm Q BOV. Did a lot of price comparisons and think I got a good deal at extremepsi.com. Saved something like $140.00 versus other sites for these...

Katharine McPhee just left my store. She bought an airline carrier for her two chihuahuas. Very sweet girl.

Has anyone else made the commitment to lose weight/get in shape this year? I've had enough of the flabby gut and beginning hint of "man boobs." I've decided to start the P90X training. The infomercials sucked me in, and there are a ton of videos on Youtube showing amazing results in just 90...

I lent out my FSM, so can't look this up...how do you remove the rear bumper on a '71 Scamp? I'm trying to take the bumper off to get it rechromed, but can't access the 4 bumper bolts (2 on each side) at the ends to get a wrench on them.

I responded to a FABO Parts for Sale post last Tuesday (less than 50 minutes from the post time) from a member stating I wanted the part in question at the quoted price. I also pm'd him to ask if he accepted Paypal. He responded almost immediately via PM to say he did, and would get me a quote...

Parts interchange manual says PN# 2768575 also fits '68-early '71 Valiant, and '70-early '71 Duster.

I was going to do a spring relocation on the Scamp, but don't want to do the minitub. Next best option seems to be offset shackles to give me a little more room for bigger wheels. Anyone done this who can suggest best price source? Do I also need to buy front hanger offset brackets?

I've owned a retail store for the past 5 1/2 years, and its been a downward spiral since January 2008. but in my opinion, things are definitely getting better! Just put my best November ever to bed, and while December started a bit slow, I'm getting slammed now!! :-D Average $ per sale is...

Hey, check out the February 2010 issue of CarCraft. Just received my issue yesterday, and see that they ran the article on E-body owner perspective of the 2009 SRT8. Two pics of me and a nice one of my 1970 'Cuda. They also said they'd be interested in doing an article on my TurboScamp...
