1972 Scamp "Smokey" - Saved From Wildfire

Getting closer....Torque convertor finally arrived from PTC (what a cluster that was). I was able to get the the frame, motor, and trans mated together. I'm trying to assemble as much as possible on the dolly before final install. Hoping to have it in the car by next Saturday before Easter.

I ran into a little issue along the way. Turns out the dyno shop left the pilot bearing inside of the crankshaft. I don't have a puller that size, so I used wadded-up bread, water, and a 3/4" bolt as a hydraulic and it popped right out. There's your redneck tip of the day. Haha
