my first sii joins the family - binder bulletin forums
 
Sorry about that... The link isn't working because binder bulletin is down (has been for a few days). If it's not up by tomorrow, I'll post a few here too.

Thanks for your interest.
 
Some pics from various stages of the build..... Scout is together now-- running, driving, braking.

Sorry for the slow response guys; I don't make it to this forum often and didn't update the thread. This truck was sold a few months ago.
