this is my 4th Scamp - and I had a 70 Duster (which ended up being a parts car for all intents and purposes) so I have been there done that as far as taking 'em apart and putting 'em back together goes...
yeah im just getting anxious to get this done. Honestly, I knew going in this was gonna be a multi-year project and expensive, so I'm taking my time to do it right. I've screwed things up rushing before and I'm not doing that now.
Oh!! I did make what I think will be the finaly decision on the color of the engine this weekend. Every big block out there these days gets painted Hemi Orange Or Race Hemi orange. I think I'm gonna honestly go with Chrysler engine Red and Gold, like how the 361 Golden Commando was painted, though with finned valve covers, gold painted, pin striped with the engine red.
