Project Scamp

[dodge71demon]

I've been posting about ideas for my 74 Scamp Project.
I just purchased a 75 Scamp 318 - A/C - 3 speed on the floor
My plans have changed a little.I want the Scamp to be a good
Daily Driver with as little as possible invested.I WANT IT TO LOOK
LIKE AN OLD MAN'S CAR.I will be posting things as time goes on
and taking polls and opinons The 75 is on the left the 75 is too far gone
both quarters - outer wheel wells - trunk pan and extensions
drivers floor pan - a pillars at the seam all very rusty
REMEMBER OLD MAN'S CAR

74 or 75 grille
With or without buperettes

Old man huh? Are you trying to pull a fast one on us Bob? I see what you did there... you're gonna sneak a hemi under there!

I like the 74 grill and the bumperttes. the 75 looks a little more grandpa though

You must be thinking of sameone else I'm not Bob and can't afford a hemi

I'm just ribbing you dude. ;) Use the 74 with bumperettes, polish it up, paint it a nice silver, cream or gold and slap a vinyl top on.

The 75 screams gramps plus the bumperettes that just says blue_haired granny's grocery getter.

I'll go with the 74 grille. But I like that style.

I think that the design from 1975+ went to hell. TOTALLY 74

74 grill would be my choice

For the old man car effect, I'd go with the 75 grille and bumperettes.

If you can find them, get a set of the wire wheel covers with whitewall tires.

My older brother had a set that came on his 74 Valiant Brougham and they were the first thing he took off.

O.P. My preference is to skip the bumperettes, I hate those things. I dont like them on any car lol.
