I started with a 1970 340 car which was in much worse shape than I imagined once I started getting into it. While I was working on the '70. I found a '73 Scamp which had been completely media blasted and was sold to me bare metal. The Scamp had no trim pieces at all, it was just a stripped rolling chassis. The '70 had all the pieces I needed to make the Scamp work. I like the style of the Dart's front end much better than the Scamp's so I'm building the Scamp as a Dart.

I hope you keep documenting your efforts and continue to post the excellent pictures.Top quality work you're doing and the car really looks great.

What color are you going with??

That is a great looking job you are doing, great inspiration for me, thanks for posting.

Updates...

I hate bodywork

















At least it's closer after this application of primer than it was last time. There are a few small spots I missed which need to be worked out, then the car gets block sanded and hit with another round of high build primer hopefully just one more time before paint.

Now that the vast majority of the fab work is done I will be concentrating solely on getting the body to where it needs to be.

Just dropped a couple things off at the machine shop today and grabbed some pics:









You can see the heads behind the engine on the floor.

Finished plumbing the fire extinguisher system and I also installed the battery cutoff switch:











Started the under hood plumbing. I HATE working with stainless steel hose





I built a drawer which will hold all of the cars electronics. Thanks to Qwiktree @ Moparts for the idea.
