Got the new cover. Fits much better. I still don't see how it will fully cover the rockers once I have side mirrors back on but clearly this is a big improvement over the first cover. (Which definitely was for a Duster, I just noticed when boxing up the first cover for return that there's a...
It used to be if you wanted a classic Mopar and don't have tons of cash, B and E bodies are out. Same thing now probably, just the prices have all shifted up.
Complete speculation on my part, but it seems obvious what's changed in demand now from 15, 20, 25 years ago is that back then if you wanted to go faster than most American production cars (i.e. 400HP+) one of the easiest ways to do this was take an old muscle era car and build it up. They were...
Perhaps. After looking at abodyjoe's photos, mine doesn't fit right at all. Look at how the roof line is just a mess compared to how his conforms so much better to the car. But I think it's more than just the wheelbase. Length fits fine (although I don't have bumper on yet).
These are custom...
I did mention about side mirrors and antenna. Actually they asked about any modifications. (They had a photo of my car and I did mention the hood scoops, they said that's no big deal.) They don't offer with side pockets for mirrors on mine. And I'm covering it now without any chrome parts on it...
So I purchased a Dustop California car cover for my 71 Scamp. It came in yesterday and put it on. It doesn't come down far enough to completely cover and protect the sides. Lower rear fenders, rocker panels and lower front quarters are not covered. Does anyone else have this problem?
Looking real good! Makes me think about putting a/c in my Scamp. Wondering how that works with a non-factory a/c car and what modifications I have to make to the car. Particularly any extra mounting or routing holes in the body. I hate doing that.
Car is done, just in time for new year's. Unfortunately not in time before winter hits to get the car home on a warmer dry day!
A couple final photos of competition on the rear stripe.
First photo: My '95 Dakota, 318 5 spd (with my 71 Scamp). Owned it since 1996 and then sold it in 2015 to someone who ended up being another FABO member. Has over 250k on it but it rusted out pretty bad now.
Second photo: My '88 D100, 318 2WD auto. I don't have it anymore but sold it to my...
I started looking at my photos when taking the headliner out. I think only the edges were glued. Insulation panels glued to the roof, but the headliner was not glued to the mdf board (or whatever material they are) sail panels. Although there was glue behind the sail panel boards and I don't...
