3769973 318 Heads on my new motor

Nice pick up!

Man, let me know if you need anything for that car. Between my friend and I, we've parted out 6 of them. Dusters seem to grow on trees around me. I let a '71 go to the crusher (no time to deal with it, after we picked it clean) and I have a '72 in my storage unit, right now. I have a lot of parts for the '73-'74, including a fold down seat and filler neck. I think I have another grille, somewhere for it as well as a dash, a title for that dash ('74) and some other misc parts (wiring harnesses, taillight lenses, etc.)

I like your idea of running the 318.

My girlfriend Amy came from a big family. She has 5 siblings, one lives out of state. I've known her family for over a decade, never actually met her, up until 2 years ago. Her dad had a few muscle cars and had to let them go, due to lack of time and money. I want to help him get his '67 GTO back that he sold, to fly his later to be wife and five kids from california, after the other "man" of the relationship abandoned them at the airport.

He was ecstatic when I built the Scamp for Amy. It's awesome to see your pursuits working in your favor. If you keep chipping away at it, you'll have an awesome car built for pennies on the dollar, man.

Again, let me know if you need anything for it. I've got everything I need for the Scamp and the '72 I have is a complete car.

One piece of advice I will give anyone, restoring their own car, is to learn how to do body work and paint prep. Even if you're not confident on shooting top coats, if you can get some practice in with primer and bondo, you can save yourself a lot of money. A lot of community colleges offer collision repair courses. That's how I got started. It took a few years for me to tackle things confidently on my own, even with prior mech. knowledge, but it is worth every minute of practice.

Can't wait to see what you do with it!
