Mopar Muscle Association UK

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.

What it did look like back in 2009

Now this sounds very interesting!

Mmmm. Looking forward to this build. Some good ideas there that should work well.

Sounds great, some good upgrades you've got in mind.

Keep us updated.

Yea should be good. Even with the heavy modifications it will be done to look as authentic as possible I.e. engine coil packs will be hidden bulk head relocation will be done along factory seams and swages ect

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 remember this car from when Pete first got it. Also recall the axle change in, the back garden/drive wasn't it? Nice to see it back and due to be on the road in time.

Yes dave that would be nice I never got to see them. Thanks

Yes miles that's correct out on the drive in the wind rain ect lol

Found them... to that gmail account in your signature or another one ??

DM

All sounds very interesting new into old seems to be the way its going these days

Yes dave thanks.

Yes carl certainly is, although I think people are very divided over it although I cant stand looking under the bonnet of an old car and seeing a plastic motor hence the carbs and hidden coil packs ect
