Its a 74 scamp i think

-74? Oh! Sorry.. how embarrasing, how could i miss that?! They are much alike the sixtees anyhow.
They can look real cool aswell, and i still look forward to the continuation of your project!

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

Cool!
Any planes yet on colour etc..?

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.

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"

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

Neat project Nana!!It's looks like you are going to build it very strong!

More to come very soon

Finally back on four wheels, so we can see what the stance is like......=

Come on, i know it isnt a challenger, but what do you think??

It looks fast and I like fast cars so I give it a -label. Keep up the good work.

Thanks!

We keep the thread up to date, with a few weeks panels should be on, and then after that its paint (plum crazy)

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.

Yeah Dale Edmonds's made it

How about that? I was right about something. That was twice recently. I'm on a roll.

You still have that original scooped hood that was in the old picture? Looks nice.

Thanks a lot!! Hope your feeling better

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

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.

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.

They are not finished yet, that is getting done this week or next

Just been finalizing the welding on the cage, and have now begun to spray the interior shell and dash satin matte black. Need more paint
The car should then be sprayed by Late October at latest, so are in the process of rubbing down the body.

Then its
Build Engine, Fit it and trans
Wiring
Racing seats, interior etc.
