I almost have my 71 scamp done for the 3rd time. for those who arn't familiar with the car, I had restored it first about 4 years ago, then went through an accident involving a roll over 3 years ago, then I restored it yet again and finished it last fall, but I just wasn't happy with it, so out came the motor yet again for a go-over this last winter. also involved was some suspension mods- tubular upper A arms, big sway bars, disc brakes and I have cal-trac bars, but they need installing. the motor use to be stock with only a 4 bbl and duel exhaust, but now sports performer intake, holley 600, hotter cam(can't quite remember the specs) ported 302 heads with heavy duty mp springs, windage tray, headers, electronic ignition, and my tranny made up of a shift kit, 3000 tc and even a line lock. Im still running the stock rear for now (7.25 with 2.76) but I'm in the process of cutting down an 8.75 and I have a 3.91 sure grip to go in! Im also going with a different rim- probably weld pro-stars, but for now I have blacked out ralleys with late model centers. also in the plans is a custom dash cluster and move all of the aftermarkey gauges where I can see them better. I just took these pictures this afternoon when the car finally rolled out of the shop under its own power for the first time with the new set up.

Lookin sweet ! If I remember correctly, your car was banged up pretty severly after the rollover (Hint: pics)

lol ya, it got pretty beat up. Ill see if I can get a few pics on here.

one from the rear

OUCH! It's looking good though!

Wow, I remember that accident, I think. Brutal!

Did you repair it or have to rebody it? We have something in common, I have had to do each of my cars at least twice, before I am happy with them.

I repaired it. new 1/4, new roof skin, new roof bracing, and A LOT of straitening of the frame rails and other panels. took a lot of work, thats for sure!

It looks great!!!

I remember your thread with those pics and it's amazing what you have been able to do with the car. Many people would have scrapped it so big props to you for fixing it. Looks good.

Looks great. I admire your tenacity for sticking with it until you got it the way you want. Well done.

Very nice. I love the color.

Looking great yet, again!

Holy shneikies! That wreck looked HORRIBLE!
Great job on the rebuild....
