**73 Scamp Mini Pro-Street Engine Swap**

I got the exhaust hangers on. I used J Hooks. I think it came out pretty clean. I ended up drilling the frame rail and welding in a NUT to accept a bolt to hold up the J Hooks on each side in the rear. The other two are at the connection point above the 3rd member. I drilled and welded in new bolts under the rear seat area to hold those J Hooks in place.

The brake tab for the rear drop line I put on the inside of the frame rail just forward of the Housing. I will cut off all of the stock bracketry.

For some odd reason there was a pretty big dent, probably about the size of a basket ball hitting it in the drivers quarter just in front and above the rear well opening. The body is STRAIGHT so it had to be fixed. I ended up cutting an access hole in the inner fender well and got it back out looking good again like it never happened from the back side!!! That right there took me a couple hours at least. Paintless dent removal at its finest!! haaaa You can see the dent I am talking about in my pictures and video I posted earlier.

This week my goal is to have all the front brakes installed along with the new upper control arms, all brake lines, Adjustable Proportion valve, Fuel lines etc. That is pretty much what is left on the punch list. We will see how it goes.
