Ok so am doing a long term build on the Scamp.
A lot of what might seem small tweaks but involve a lot of work.
Engine and drive line will be fully centralized.
Pictures will follow of all the fab work for this
392 gen 3 hemi running Indy intake and dual carb set up.
Tube k member and double a arm suspension rack and pinion ect
15 inch steels ten inch at rear 8 at front
T56 trans
9 inch rear 4.10 gears LSD with coilover and watts linkage ect
Will be a real nice cruiser that can pull a good 1/4 but go round bends nicely too.
That all for now pictures to follow shortly.

I also have some history on the car that may interest a few I will upload some pics aswell.
The car was purchased new on Aug 29th 1972 in Casper Wyoming, A certain Emma Endicott was the proud new owner she also traded in her 3/4 ton chevy pick up. I could only find two owners stateside the other being a Chris Arnot from Arizona I know he definitly owned the car in 06. Then I think in 06 dave madders imported the car it was then sold on to a Mr Arnold from wales who owned the car for about a year.
On 5th july 2007 I purchased the car off of Mr Arnold, it was to be my first car on the road and served me well for a whole year as a daily driver to and from work.
I then blew out the one legger diff which could only take so much abuse. An 8 3/4 was installed with ladder bars 3.91 gears and a detroit locker and 727 built by blue the stoc k 4 barrel'd 318 was left In place.
The lil 318 did good pushing the full weight a bod to a 14.7.
Engine and drive train were then sold to tube chassis the car for an all out race car.
thank fully it never happened and im glad it didnt as it would have been another solid car lost to the plasma cutter.
Then life happend (I.e. child - marriage)
and now we are here with a fresh plan and a 4 year old daughter to tell me where I'm going wrong......
I also have window sticker and build sheet that ill dig out another day.
