Its a 74 scamp i think :wink:

by **Jimiboy** » 26 Mar 2008 19:50

-74? Oh! Sorry.. how embarrasing, how could i miss that?! :ashamed:

They are much alike the sixtees anyhow.
They can look real cool aswell, and i still look forward to the continuation of your project! :thumbsup:

by **bananaskin** » 26 Mar 2008 19:54

Heres a pic of what it ust to look like many years ago.

by **Jimiboy** » 26 Mar 2008 20:25

Cool!
Any planes yet on colour etc..?

by **bananaskin** » 26 Mar 2008 20:29

Colour = Mauve (my dad is deciding on that 1)

Engine is 440 stroked to 512 with either a Dominator Carb or tunnel ram which we have.

by **Jimiboy** » 26 Mar 2008 20:35

nice colour choise i believe... It is going to look mad i guess, with tunnelram and that stroker... I would love to see it in "action" :thumbsup:

by **bananaskin** » 26 Mar 2008 20:43

Yeah, when its all done, gotta take it for a tune up, hopefully it will all go smoothly, before Euronats in July then onto the Nats :mrgreen:

Looks like a mean homebrewed racer! What is that dash piece? Just a generic plastic dash shell?

Looks like one of Dale Edmonds's Dart dashes. He made one for another Dart owner in the UK so he will have the mould.

Am I right?

Yeah, thanks... No worries, just had some fever and bad virus... (Twice in this last month) fine now do... I have been taking out the car now, so i am really positive!

(Accept for some problems with leaking powersteering, after an incident when the strap got loose in the middle of a "race" and whipped the pipe that feeds steering with oil.. But nothing bad that don't brings anything positive, now i finally took care of freshen the pump up, and paint it etc.. looks sweet)

Things just got serious :wink:

by **henrysalt** » 19 Jun 2008 20:28

Dont take this the wrong way, but... I hope you never crash because those welds look like s... Better have them all re-done. better safe than dead! cool ride tho.

by **dave-r** » 19 Jun 2008 21:04

The welds look OK to me.
Not pretty or neat. But OK.

Or did you mean his tack welds? I don't think they are finished yet.

Mine never look pretty either. But if the penitration is there the jobs a good'un. :thumbsup:
