Fuel tank, sending unit & line replacement Ever since I got the Scamp the fuel gauge didn't worked properly, making it hard to know how much gas was in the tank. I've also noticed a lot of "junk" in the fuel filter. The filter is doing it's job but I don't like the fuel being that contaminated. I figured I would change out the sending unit, fuel tank and main line that runs from the tank to the fuel pump. here

Steering column modifications With the installation of the console and console shifter the shifting mechanism and PRINDL display on the column became unneeded and honestly really annoying. I picked up a partial steering column from a floor sift b-body and swapped over the housing pieces.here

New Vinyl top. My body guy & painter (Al) suggested a black vinyl top for the car. I loved the idea and I think it looks great. I left the job of installing the vinyl top to Interiors Unlimited in Hebron, CT.
