Been out of town for quite a while for work. I will get some picks up tomorrow. I picked up another set of h-1's for dirt cheap with some 36's on them so I am going to run them for now. I need to get a carb for it then it will be close to fireing up.
 
I worked on the Scout for the better part of the day and got quite a bit done. The dash is 90% complete and painted, got some bars added to the cage to mount my seats to. The plastic seats are temporary until I can get some beards. Tomorrow I am going to finish the shackle reversal and get my steering box mounted.

I need to find the short shaft between the box and column. To compensate for the 2" body lift I am going to tilt the steering box up just a bit.
I will plate both sides of the frame where the box bolts on.

Here are some more progress pics. I am almost done with the motor so I started putting the sheet metal back on. I got the inside of the windshield frame painted. This thing is going to be bright.

I decided to build a twin stick for my t-case, I did it without removing any detents so I can do rear hi or low, and front low. This setup will be fine for doing digs. I also decided to run the Holley gold box ignition since that is what the harness is set up for. Hopefully withen the next week or so I can get over to p-n-p and grab a carb.
 
I wish I had lass free time and more money, it would get my build done faster. However, since I have way more free time then money I decided to pull the body off of the frame so I can fill in all the holes, clean and paint it nice. So today I tore down the front clip and got the body all unbolted. Tomorrow I should be able to get the body off the frame and onto my small trailer.
 
Got the body back on the frame and reassembled the Scout. Here are some recent shots. Also worked on the front bumper today.

Yeah I do know what slag is actually and I have welded before many times. Just never seen such a large line of weld peel up like that. Looked like there was weld on top of weld peeling off like there wasnt enough penetration of the material.
