It's the metal piece on the floor of the spare tire well which secures the bolt for the bottom of the jack stand and also doubles holding in the J bolts on the bottom which keep the back end of the gas tank supported. Is this piece reproduced by any of the repo shops?

Anyone have any suggestions on how to coax the pins out of the hinges? I tried hammering them out from the bottom up but they are not budging...

My drivers door has a bit of sag to it when open and Year One finally shipped me the pin and bushing kit. The FSM is light on details so is it possible to replace the pins & bushings w/o removing the doors? What I'm thinking of doing is using my floor jack to support the end of the open door...

I must be missing something really simple since I know I'm not the only one to think replacing the rear tranny bushing is a simple job. How do I get the bolt out of the tranny mount that goes into the crossmember?? It's only about half way out (in the two of the pics) before it hits the...

My Scamp is at the the glass shop getting the windshield installed. Before they can put in the glass they need to install the chrome trim clips and they've hit a snag. There are 23 clips (4 one size, 19 of another size) and they're not sure where the 4 larger size clips go. I suspect they...

To register the car in Vancouver (collector plates or regular) all cars have to go thru the government emission test. I had the Scamp tested today and it passed with flying colors; even the fellow who tested it was shocked at the results! Not bad for a '75 318 with EGR but no catalytic...

I ordered it on August 3 and 11 weeks later it arrived. Should have only taken 5 weeks but not enough vinyl was sent the first time and when the extra vinyl was shipped, it was then lost in transit. It wasn't discovered lost until I followed up to check on the status of the order 2 weeks ago...

Should the two seams in the vinyl top be 43" or 42" apart? These are the seams that run the length of the top on the roof. It's going on a Scamp (2 dr htp). Thanks.

I need to adjust my drivers door striker a little (~1/16") since the door latch drags slightly on it when closing. How do I adjust it? I've got the torx driver but is there a nut on the back side to keep the striker planted?

I noticed that there are 23 clips for the windshield trim kit with two different clip sizes (4 one size, 19 of another size). Where do the 4 clips go on the perimeter of the windshield? I've got a '75 Scamp.

Merely an FYI. I know my Scamp was built on a Friday (Valentines Day to be exact) so perhaps it originally got a pair of E-body quarter window seals since I couldn't find anything about potential cross over parts on the 'net. An I'm sure I'm not the only one with a '75 Scamp (or Dart) that has...

I've been searching for replacement quarter window seals for my Scamp and bought the seals listed for "66-67 B-BODY HARDTOP & CONV./67-69 BARRACUDA CONV./67-72 DART HARDTOP & CONV./69-70 B-BODY CONV. QUARTER WINDOW VERTICAL SEALS" However, they don't match the originals. The new ones don't...

I've got a '75 Scamp which I'm getting some body work doen on. I've picked up most of the new weatherstripping pieces except for the roof rail and trunk weather stripping. Still trying to find a decent price for the trunk weatherstripping, I know I can get it for $5/ft but that seems like a...

The metal removal has started.....

My '75 Scamp is in the body shop and it's getting new 1/4 panel skins on it (along with a complete paint job). The skins have the marker light holes punched for the '70 & '71 marker lights which I think look a lot cleaner then the tacked on '72+ marker lights. I'm undecided now as to: 1)...

I know WD40 will take off the tar, but will it also take off the other stuff?

My gf and I headed down to Wildcat Wreckers and Layson's and picked up almost everything on my wish list for my 75 Scamp. We found everything at the Wildcat we were looking for (rocker chrome trim, front fenders, 8 1/4 rear end, radio, radio bezel, etc) and everything at Layson's except for a...

Two questions.... How is the chrome trim on the leading edge of the 1/4 window held on? More importantly, how do I take it off w/o wrecking the trim? I'm buying new weatherstripping for the car and want to take the old strip off before I buy the new strips. This one is basic but I...

Any tips on how to take off: 1) chrome drip rail trim w/o wrecking it? How is it held on? 2) rear 1/4 window outter channel rubber? I can see the tip of a few clips but it doesn't look straightforward. Do the tips of the clip (foreground in pic below) get bent 90 degrees to allow...

It was time to get the body work done on the '75 Scamp which means I've spent the past weekend and nights stripping it down. It's due at the body shop on the 14th and based on my progress so far, it looks like it's going to be ready by then. Stripping it down also means installing new...
