It actually started life as a base model Plymouth Scamp. I bought it because the floors were in good shape (and it was an 83 Scamp!) The only rust was in the rear quarters and a wierd spot on both rockers.
The drivetrain is out of an 87 Daytona Shelby Z, so it has the forged bottom end. It has a GLHS harness and a Mopar stage II LM.
I have been driving it on the engine swap for the last 2 years and decided it was finally time to get the body strait. Gonna keep the body stock for the most part. I have already done the SC air dam and lengthened SC rocker covers. I also got the 2.2 hood scoop functional. Gonna use the original fenderwell chrome (modified to work with the SC stuff. Oh, and it has hood pins, they aint stock either.
Can't decide between the 2000 Dodge Ram red like I painted the engine bay (original plan) or going flat (actually satin) black and keeping the engine bay red.
Anyway, thanks for the compliments.
