I have removed all of the older Scamp 318 multimedia in
favor of the Scamp 360 stuff.
If you would like to see some of the older 318 Scamp pictures let me know.

Here it is! The completed Scamp after 100's of hours of hard work. What a payoff though! It has gobs of Horse, tons of Twisty, it's light like a Feather & glued to the pavement like Velcro. You can really see the fine workmanship of the VFN fiberglass parts here. I recommend them to anyone seeking quality glass parts. |
 |
A nice shot of the front-end showing the VFN hood, front bumper and A&A scoop. I chose the Centerline Warrior wheels for their strength, SFI approval & lightweight. The M/T Sportsman fronts are a perfect size to nicely fill the fender without rubbing. The Hoosier Quick Time Pro Drag DOT slicks are run at 12-14psi and have minimal growth to insure a rub free install. |
 |
The red scoop-plug has a streamer that reads "Remove Before Flight" courtesy of a pilot friend. I went for the full tuck effect on the wheel and tire combo. I have always favored the fully original looking fenders with wheel lips moldings intact. This car is testament to the fact you CAN get meat under an A-body without killing the car. |
 |
Finally a good pic of the Scamp after mini-tubbing and adding some 28x14.50-15 slicks and "Pizza Cutters" in front. Talk about a full fender! The new meat goes from frame rail to fender lip and then some. They don't rub, at least not to 120+ mph! To give the tires decent clearance all around the axle was relocated 5/8" toward the rear of the car. this allowed 1 1/2" clearance on all sides or better. |
 |
Does that VFN glass deck lid fit nice or what? I went to great lengths to retain that "It's stock-No it's not" look. Thanks to Year One I was able to purchase brand new decals/emblems out back. Don't forget the VFN glass rear bumper and Dzus fasteners by Moroso to keep it on the car. |
 |
Here's a good shot of the Jaz seats & remote headrests anchored to the crossbar. You can see the RCI 5 point harness' and the jungle gym of bars that make up the Chris Alston cage. See the clean aluminum firewall and rear deck panels I made? Those were tough to fit and finish nicely. |
 |
How could anyone find fault with the original owners? Look at that dash! The large steering wheel was swapped in favor of a Grant GT, the factory signal lever and column shifter were shortened. You can see the aluminum panel for the Autometer gauges in the dash, the low oil psi & shift light on the upper roll bar and the new black carpet kit. A 5 pound extinguisher is equipped just in case. Yes, I really do use and like the column shifter, though I have done some really trick stuff to the linkage! |
 |
Here is a shot of the all new rear suspension including Danny Miller 9" rear with disc brakes, Strange housing and spool with 4.71 gears bouncin' up an down on a Chris Alston Chassisworks ladder bar suspension system with HAL QA1 coilovers |
 |
Another shot of the nostalgic, Commando crate motor style 360, from pre-magnum days. You can see the CSI throttle assembly with the Morse cable, check out the MP SFI approved dampener. Look at those plug wires, I get a bit excessive on details sometimes. |
 |
A good full frontal view of the go-box clearly shows the AN-8 fuel line, Demon double pumper carb and Moroso crankcase evacuation system. Notice that there isn't any BS on the firewall, and the factory wiring harness has been completely split-loomed. I will update this picture as it shows the old fuel system, there's a fat regulator and 2 hoses to the carb now. |
 |
It seems the satin black really made the engine and trunk areas look clean. Installing the Dzus fasteners is a harsh project I don't wish on anyone, but once again, no regrets! Sure is easy to work back there now and the weight loss is always welcome!! |

Nice luggage huh? Notice the 1/8" sheet of aluminum to replace the spare tire recess, Yes, it was cut completely out! There's the infamous Wet Burnout pump/reservoir on the left. The RCI 16 gallon cell w/foam & sender weighs nothing, has a roll-over ball valve and is vented outside. The battery box to the right has regulation 3/8" studs, through-frame, for a roll-proof, NHRA install. The BG fuel pump step-down box is just out of the picture to the left. |
OK! Here are 7 new movies to play with! They were taken 2-2001, so they're very fresh! This will help show what the car is capable of, though the timeslips and dynosheets I post here will be the proof. But sit back and enjoy yourself, and don't forget to turn up your speakers! This is 600HP on slicks tearing it up like nobody's business! You will need Windows Media Player or an MPEG player to view these, the largest one is only 1.29Mb! So enjoy yourself, turn up the speakers and annoy the neighbors, I do. More on the way! Post your comments about these on the Message Board if you like.
Here is the sound of the new 360 that was recently installed. You can hear the nasty 12.85 to 1 compression, if you have good speakers this sounds great! The first two, "Up Close At Launch" & "Drive by Roll-on" were recorded when I had a full exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers. The other three were recorded with my 3" open DynoMax system.
