That looks great!
The Scamp looks to good to part out, just my 
Thanks!
The Scamp does look nice but it's not perfect and I don't have a use for it. Remember, out here these cars are pretty cheap and usually have little rust. I know one of these days there won't be any more around but right now they're pretty easy to find.
Well if it's gotta be parted out, it will go to save another Scamp  When that time comes to part it- hit me up 
I hope the gas cap I sold you is as shiny as the car  It really looks good

You read my mind...I was out in the shop tonight and thought to myself "Dang that gas cap looks good!"
There is a very young girl (16 or 17) in our local Mopar club with a Scamp as her daily driver and it needs some parts. I will try and help her out when the time comes.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled program... Went out tonight and installed the windshield wiper motor and brake setup. It feels pretty good to actually put parts ON the car for a change. Next came the motor and tranny. I love putting them in from the bottom, especially with a lift. Took about 20 minutes to have it completely bolted in. And before you say anything, I know the motor is dusty. I'll take care of that later. One bit of bad news…after months of pushing this car around the shop on dollies I finally hit the front fender on the lift post and put a ding in the front fender  . At least I was smart enough to do this work before I sanding and painted the exterior.

"Look out for that post...." 
I know how you feel. Even though my car is in primer I swung a jack stand around the other day and happened to hit the car and put a ding near the rear taillight!  
I said a few choice words!
Ouch! I feel your pain

Did a little more work today. It's not much but it's progress. I have found that I am a lot more motivated doing the mechanical portion as compared to the bodywork/sanding. I hated doing that. Anyway, new 1" Firm Feel torsion bars installed (hopefully the correct way). They were marked left and right but no front to back so they must go either way... Also installed the front suspension. Looks kind of bad putting painted parts on the ugly under carriage but I guess you have to stop somewhere. Tomorrow I plan on completing the front end and making a roller out of the car. In fact, after brakes I just need wiring to fire it up again.

Great job, looks killer. I like the Green! I agree that you should try to replicate the sizzler blackout paint on your hood. Heres a pic for inspiration. Seeing your car all painted makes me feel guilty for not getting my car done! Keep up the great work! 
This looks good, I was thinking of the Sizzler paint scheme but wasn't sold on the idea. Here is another thought I had...paint the hood with the two large Demon stripes (like the two hood scoop cars) but paint around the sixpack hood scoop. This would leave the scoop body color with the two stripes on the hood. So, what do you think
