We are on month 3 of the build with the Scamp. The objective is to remove the 318 and put a 440. Yes, a headache and a challenge but a badass ride. will post as I go. Feel free to comment as you wish, ask questions to make me think, offer advice etc. I am working with some pros on this project. Dr. Mopar our of Burlington NC on the engine, transmission and mechanical. The bodywork is being done by my buddy Stephen from here in NC.

 

Are you going for a sleeper look or a in your face drag car?

 

is that a 318 in there now?

 

/6

 

I was wondering. He said is was a 318. Looked to be a 6. I'd say the guy he bought it from owes him about 93 cubic inches.

 

Yes, I do have the 318.

 

 

 

You are in Good Hands with Doc and his crew... 440 Plymouth Scamp, That will a fun project !!!! Best of luck, Keep us posted and up to date !!!!

 

 

Are you going with fender well headers?

 

 

cool..

 

 

I entered into an agreement with Dr.Mopar's high performance shop in Burlington NC. to build a motor for me. Christopher Ketteman received $6442 to build a poly stroker using my engine.

After over 2yrs of Mr. Ketteman having my motor, I decided not to have him perform the work and requested a refund! Mr Ketteman sent a notarized agreement to refund my money and when that was ignored by Mr. Ketteman I had to take him to court.

I won a judgement against Mr Ketteman for $5948 from the Small Claims court in Alamance County NC docket # 18CVM1243. Now he has decided to let the judgment stay on his credit and not pay me what is owed.

If you are thinking of letting him perform any work for you, refer back to this warning. I can furnish the actual court decision and his pathetic description of why he did not perform the work (that he submitted to the court as his answering statement) prior to the court proceeding.

He was dishonest to me and I would never consider going to him even if I broke down in front of his shop, I would call AAA to tow me away before letting him touch anything I own.

 

There's a lesson in this, if your builder, bodyshop, upholster what ever needs to get paid upfront...........walk away!
A percentage of parts or token payment is one thing but never pay a bill upfront!

I was in the bodyshop for 40 years and have heard enough stories to not have much compassion when I here them.

I hope things work out for you and your able to get your money back, but I'd bet your not the only person he's done this to and is waiting for money.

People, don't pay for work not done, period!
