Finally getting started on my project after letting it sit all winter! I have a 1973 Plymouth Scamp with the 225ci slant six and 4 wheel 10" drum brakes. I picked it up for $900 from a guy in Henryetta who had it on Craigslist last fall, he said he purchased from an elderly woman that bought it new. It starts and runs great, I even found a notebook in the glove book dating all the oil changes from 1973 to 1991! It's got some rust problems, but for what I've seen on other cars around these parts it's faired pretty well. the worst is in the floorpan, I'm going to have to cut it entirely out and replace it.
So far I'm in the process of swapping to front disc from my 76 Volare and rebuilding the front end, and just getting started today on some interior work. I'm planning to swap in a 408 stroker, 4 speed, and Ford 8.8in rear. It needs some body work and paint, I'm still debating on attempting it myself or just taking it to a shop and leaving it to a professional.

), but from what I've read our cars have the 73+ A-body control arms that accept the larger ball joints so the disc spindles will bolt right on with no problems. I'm going to use the Volare proportioning valve and a manual disc master cylinder. I'm wanting to keep the car somewhat of a sleeper, and am not happy with losing my SBP 14" wheels, but c'est la vie.
