![]() Well, to start I want to say hi and, that you guys have a great place here!! Some of the most knowledgable techies to.
![]() This Scout started as a gift to me in 2005 with 89000 original miles on it from the second owner (who also currently owns a 69 800/304/727 that I want 62000original miles plow rig in almost perfect condition. Before I got it it had sat in a field at crowley lake for 15 years where it was regularly covered with 10 feet of snow. I went through the entire drive train brakes and, engine during 2006 and drove it back up to mammoth that year. He( the po ) really got a bang out of it and was glad it went to some one who would make it nice and keep it. I rent a cabin on lake george in ml every year during June for a week. So after enjoying it for late 06 and 07, I decided to make it look as good as I could for a return trip in 08 to ml. It was stripped to metal, the metal massaged back, primmed blocked primed again color sanded and painted in base -clear to the original champagne color. After refinishing all of the removable parts I put it back together and here it is. It is a shame I didn't document the Scout whet I first got it. I guess it was enough to have been given it to think about the details. Thanks for reading/looking ........ Robert Last edited by Robert Kenney; 02-03-2016 at 07:07 AM..

![]() Excellent job man! That is great work, pretty much the cleanest Scout I've seen. Definitely gives me some motivation!

![]() I ran across a few earlier pictures of the Scout before I built the top or much else for that matter.

![]() I found some pictures of the Scout rescue.these were on film so I scaned them to jpg. It was sitting in the weeds/bush about 100 feet back beyond the start of the weeds.
The house is just north of crowley lake on 395. What a great view. I think I need to fix up the travel top and put it back on for the winter. It is badly caved in on the top but I May be able to dolly it back.

![]() You really did a great job on that cs! My son even likes the photo you printed up for me. If I May ask, where did you get the paint job and what did it cost. I have been talking to my wife about painting mine and I need to get some idea of prices these days.

![]() Thanks' for the kind words. The guy who painted it has a body shop in upland empire collision, 909-920-9111.
For starters he stripped it back to bare metal, dollied the metal back straight so only a skim coat of filler was needed in select areas. He welded all of the holes up on the tail gate. It was primed and blocked twice then a base and clear were sprayed. For the work they did I could have been charged twice as much at other shops. He did such a nice job on my Scout that he now has my sisters fiat spider, for a restoration. It is dark blue so it has to be right or it will show. I did up the engine and now it is time to make it look as good as it runs. ![]() he said he would do from the primer on if I wanted to do the body work. The guy who paints should always paint the car and the other way around. Cost about 1/2 for that. Funny thing is he loved the Scout so much that he wants one now. I know he would enjoy doing another one. Robert

![]() Uncle,
you asked about the rear axle notation on my LST that was lined out. Ra23 was changed to ra9. The other changed # number was 14023-9603 now 14009-9603 I read -ra9 w/p lock 4.88 se so if the ra 9 is no power lock then how do I have a pl. The glove compartment door is labled for it. I know the Scout to be original and have the power loc? I hope the thing does have the pl diff as I feel no pl function when I spin the wheels while jacked up. I purchased the kit to rebuilt my pl from Mike because of the lack of function. ![]()
