We've started on a few upgrades for pap's Trail Scrambler!
It is getting a transplant (Chevy 350 & TH350 trans from Lee Smiths old Scrambler).
Will also receive new painless wiring harness & Tube fenders.
I'm sure we will find a few other items to upgrade while it's apart.
Hope to have it completed for an Easter weekend run somewhere.
