This is right after I fitted all the new body parts.

Here is the 1999 Chicago Blizzard.. Or a few weeks after I should say.

The rear quarters are starting to rust. I really needed paint here.

Status Reports

 
10/29/99 - Long time since I updated anything here. The Scout is Painted, Installed New Seats, Installed rear SS][ Tailgate Insert, Installed Fiberglass Fender Flares, and a ton of other stuff. I will update it as soon as I can.
03/02/99 - Still nothing.. I have gotten a Straight Steer, New SSII Door hardware, Rancho Steering Stabilizer, and a Borgson Steering U-Joint.  But I haven't put anything on. 
02/15/99 - Still no new Scout... I am really really waiting for another Scout.  I want something with a 345 that I can work on and also a body that I can work with and paint yet still drive mine around.
01/07/99 - Still waiting to get my new Scout.  Weather is not being nice to me.  Well.. to be exact, the worse blizzard in 30 years.    Anyway the Scout is performing well in the cold and snow.  The new Locking hubs are great,  never again to use the "Auto's".  I just had no luck with making those last.
12/21/98 - I found a parts Scout on the internet and have been talking to the guy.  It's a 74 Scout ][ with a rebuilt trans. when he bought it and he had the motor rebuilt just recently (Under 10 miles on it.)  So I found me a 345 and hopefully if all goes well I can drive down south from me a few hours and drive it back.   Next up I really need a garage now.
12/12/98 - Well took out the D300, the front output shaft had way to much play in it.  Found out the people that rebuilt it a year or so ago (When I got the Trans done.)  had put RTV all over the metal shims.. So anyway... Re shimmed it put all new seals in and slapped it back on.  I see a slight leak still and I think I need some of those "Redi-Seals".  Apart from that it's seem ok.   Well Except for the Slip Yoke on the Front drive shaft.. that too has a bit too much movement in it. So that will have to be looked at soon.
