Well a little bit of fine tuning has turned into a nightmare. I believe that after the car got painted I still had not installed subframe connectors. Now add that with it being beaten on with the fresh 340 and on and off of a lift there must have been a lot of flexing on top of some possible...

Inland shifter for sale. Zip is 11715 $60

After some 4 speed issues I bit the bullet and put in a rebuilt 4 speed into the scamp. That’s all in. Carb has been taken apart. New diaphram/ power valve/ seals. It ran after I took it apart and put it back together so for the first time ever taking a carb apart that’s a good thing...

Looks great ! What you’ve accomplished in the amount of time you’ve spent is something to be proud of. Can’t go wrong with that color too !

Got the scamp sorted out enough to take her for a spin around the block. It made it ! But Ofcourse there’s always a catch. 90 degree filter adapter leaked at the head of the bolt causing it to drip onto the header and burn off. (Brand new gasket kit on it) Luckily this happened when I...

Yes

Right to the floor

I’ve spent some time trying to figure out what the deal is with my scamp. Here is my build thread for reference Scampin!!!!!! So I’ve gotten to the point where I’m putting everything back together. It’s a 75 scamp. 340/4 speed/8.75 with drum brakes and factory discs up front. The car ran...

great work. You are putting me to shame.

With months of grinding in the garage the scamp hasn’t seen daylight. Today was gorgeous so I took it off the lift and gave her a bath. Gives me some motivation to finish this thing up and actually enjoy it for a change.

Found some more rot….northeast cars suck. Not the prettiest but it is now solid ( please don’t judge my welding skills) Some grinding and a little more work and you’ll never know it happened. Transmission is filled up. Exhaust is in for the final time. Once the trunk gets re sprayed I...

To be honest I haven’t really thought about it. And thank you. Love the 69 grille!

A couple days off of work means some work on the scamp. Z bar got all new bushings and clips and regreased Steering box is in. Torsion bars are in. Steering components are back in. Calipers and upper arms got a fresh coat. Soon I’ll be able to roll this thing out of the garage and give the...

Spent the day stripping and painting. Fresh paint on the manual box. Hoping to get the rest of the steering components back on the car tomorrow. I ran the numbers for my torsion bars. Nothing came back. Anyone have any idea ?

Some more progress today. Pulled the torsion bars and manual steering box. The paint on the block was “crusty” so I taped everything off nicely wire wheeled it clean and shot it with a new coat of Chrysler blue. Some might say yank the motor and do it that way but I’m not pulling the motor...
