    71 Scamp "semi dart"

    I got the car in 2009 when I was 15. It had been sitting in an abandoned garage in Johnston, RI for over ten years. Original slant six auto, black with white interior. After draining my bank account numerous times and causing hate and discontent during cold new england winters, we are finally on...

    This came out better than I expected. Waiting on parts for the shark tooth grill.

    Alright! No good way to do this other than just buying a fiberglass hood. SEM dual mix panel adhesive to bond the hood and scoop with tech screws overnight, then laying fiberglass over the flange.

    Anybody ever use pro-form roller rockers? I bought them because for $400 they are bronze bushes and advertised to clear my spring diameter which obviously isn't the case.

    340 going to its final resting place this weekend. Scamp now has full brakes including e brake. Managed to find the elusive engine mounts in Carlisle this year. Welding an ear on for the drivers side and good to go!

    Went with arp main studs w/windage tray, the kind folks at arp sent me 2 bolts for the #5 so I could clear the oil pump. Inching along! Also, going to experience the LD340 with thermoquad for myself

    Primed the trunk. Switched to the old siphon fed my stepdad gave me a few years ago. He probably never cleaned it properly, but it paints beautifully. Way better than my cheap harbor freight hvlp

    Post your 325/50/15 wheel and tire combos

    Its TIGHT.15x10 6.5" bs 11 inch drums, stock length 8 3/4. 7" bs would have been the way to go but they fit with some creative trimming I managed about 3/8-7/16 to what was left of the lip. A little close for comfort but will manage. And yes, just a test fit. Directional tread is important.

    4 speed linkage squared away. My dad gave me a 4 speed mechanism that probably came out of one of his thousand f body or g body Chevys in the 80s and 90s. Thats right, dads a Chevy guy . But I was happy to use it and it saved me a $220+ order from brewers. Dissasembled, cleaned greased and...

    Set of take off wheels and tires. Going to be tighter than a knats *** stretched over a rain barrel but with some creative trimming should be ok

    Seam sealed . I got two versions: the brushable stuff posted earlier in the thread and the $15/tube stuff from NAPA. Used the brushable stuff (3m,expensive) first and was immediately dissapointed so I shamefully ragged it up, broke out the caulking gun and smeared it with a glove to get the...

    Drivers side just about done. Went with a jegs wheel and it was a great choice for the money. 15x10 6.5 backspace and 325-50-15 m&h's on the way. Also "upgraded" to 11 inch drums because I switched to bbp.

    A bit of a time lapse here. I couldn't find any info anywhere on replacing a spring mount. I took 1000 measurements, made my own reference points and went for it. Used a bob to make reference points on the floor as well.I wouldnt recommend fixing a frame this way, but I also added weld inside...

    Playing with the idea of a home made minitub. I have a spring relocation kit from uscartool, I have a part dart with an excellent trunk pan and stock tubs(only good sheet metal left on the car), I am a welder...anyone do it before? I could spend the $280 on the kit but it seems so simple to do...
