1972 Scamp "Smokey" - Saved From Wildfire

lead69 said

I love the car and nice work by the way. That's the same kit I used, if I had it to do over I would have used generic tubs and had all the room I could need. It was good for a 28" tire but once I went to a 30" I would have liked more room to the rear and the top of the tub. I'm running a four speed and drag radials so I figure I need all the tire I can get.

Thanks man. I appreciate that. This is my first MOPAR passenger car I've ever built so this is all new to me. I've built a bunch of GM X-bodies and the minitub process is pretty similar. The Chrysler 1-3/16" passenger offset threw me for a loop when measuring. I wasn't ready for that and thought I was tripping. Haha

It's funny the differences in these cars after 50 years. At its lowest setting, I still have about 4" from the top of my tire to the fender well. I must have welding them in higher up. Definitely could fit a 30". But another Scamp owner I know can only fit a 28" too.
