    Freds 73 Scamp restore on a budget

    I'm workin' on it when I can. The more I look the more there is to do. I gotta quit thinkin' 'good' is the enemy of 'perfect'. And there comes a time when I have to quit planning and just get dirty.

    The incredible folding Cuda!

    Dentist is in! Kinda what I feel like anyway, getting to the hidden rot. I need this rocker to be in decent shape strength wise as that's what will be supporting it replacing the floor, torsion support, front end, etc.

    Absolutely beautiful car, Fred. You're an inspiration.

    The incredible folding Cuda!

    Started workin on rehabin the front tub from the '74 Dart donor, sucking the rusty crud out of the frame rails. I'm going to run a 'cleaner' of some sort down them.. like a pile of rags in a ball, on the end of a chimney sweep rod I have (kinda like a thick fishing pole). Then a spray with some...

    This makes no damn sense.

    Although, replying to my post, if the shaft moved that much in the box you'd have more problems, lol.

    This makes no damn sense.

    Maybe a chunk of grease or crud in the box that pulling on the wheel/shaft knocked loose/broke up?

    Here's to the good guys!

    I should clarify, my hat's off to any law enforcement officer.

    "should be rounded up and disposed of." Oof.

    Crap. Had to refuse my AMD order.

    Got my new stuff a few minutes ago, all good! **** happens. Kudos to AMD for making it right in a decent time frame.

    Trans cooler under the car??

    I remember having a mid-70's Dodge van with a 6. Had a 20 mile drive to work in these lovely Wisconsin winters. Had a spare radiator from a Volare.. cut off the trans cooler and mounted it ahead of the drivers seat rails. Didn't help as much as I thought it would, still had to use a blanket. :)

    I've been a 3+ pack a day smoker for 35+ years. Haven't had a smoke for 45 hours.

    I'm about ready to bear down. I've got just about every damn thing I need.

    I'm working on the fat part, lol. Spent all last winter cooking.. the wife and I are paying for that now, lol.

    If you're thinking about it, just do it. I 'thought' about it for years.. those have a way of turning from a few years to tens of years. There's a lot of ways to have a 'cool down' that a smoke gives you. For me, I walk around the block (or a few blocks) did the trick. The nicotine (for me)...

    I MADE IT A YEAR! I still talk to people that are shocked I did this... I was the poster boy for smoking. I feel so much better. Things smell so much better. Things taste so much better (and that's a curse in it's on way!). Seriously, if I can do this, you can. If you're thinking about it...

    Crap. Had to refuse my AMD order.

    Got an email with the new shipping info, supposed to be here Tuesday. Hope it's good this time. The wife told me last time I was like a kid on Christmas waiting to hear Santa's reindeer hoofs on the roof waiting to see the delivery truck... and crushed I didn't get the new bike I wanted. :)

    Crap. Had to refuse my AMD order.

    I don't see how it'd be usable. It wasn't bent in a uniform way, like it was meant to be. The trans tunnel was an inch away from being a complete circle. There was no bracing in the box at all, just like they put the floor pan, trans pan and firewall in a box on edge, and wrapped it in black...

    R+L carriers. The way the plastic wrap was on it though makes me think it was already folded up when wrapped.

    Crap. Had to refuse my AMD order.

    Main floor folded over, transition pan had a bent up corner. Firewall looked ok but I refused the whole order. Hope they get me replacements soon.

    The incredible folding Cuda!

    Getting how I'm going to brace the old girl up ready. Got some camper jacks and steel. The 4x4 will be the main support, pretty much mid-car with some of the 3/4 box under the rockers. The 2x3 will eventually be frame connectors. A new AMD floor, transition pan, and firewall on the way. I've...

    AMD Firewalls $100

    I didn't plan on getting a firewall for mine, from what I see it doesn't look too bad (compared to the rest, lol) but for $100 I snagged it. Been saving up for the pans for a while.

    Thanks, I'll check into it.

    New floor pan: Should I get from AMD, Jegs, or Summit?

    I signed up for the mail list, but there's no way I'm waiting until black friday! Thanks for the info.

    New floor pan: Should I get from AMD, Jegs, or Summit?

    Getting a new full pan for the Notch. Looks like it's about the same price+shipping between the 3.. any horror stories to stay away from one, or any deals from one of them I'm not finding? Thanks, Ron

    Thanks for the kind words! I'm a little less of a family guy these days, the kid moved out in September. Just the wife and I working from home and hunkering down, trying to keep avoiding the crud. I haven't done anything or bought anything for my car.. been a little leery of spending money on it...
