And the rear bumper

As soon as the top and doors sell, I will get the tube for the new cage.
 
The sides of the Scout "fell" off the other day. I am getting closer and closer to my old buggy. I have not been truly excited about my rigs since I had gotten rid of the buggy. So this is going to be just like the old buggy just the the top of the cage will go back a bit farther to cover a rear seat.
 
Here are some updated pics

I really need a set of 44's for this thing. I am going to make some small brackets for the sheet metal to bolt to for street cruising.

:yikes: awesome update post. It's good to see one of these vehicles get a "done-right-the-first-time" treatment, after I went through about a year of afternoon working to get mine into shabby, barely streetable condition. Still leaking, still rusting out the floors, still running poorly, still needing another go, and another few grand...

Looking like an awesome project, great build!
 
Glad to see your still building. Those 63" Chevy rear springs have come a long way. :out: those look like the Ford radius arms bushing holding the trailing arms on.
 
Yep, I was welding next to the 63's and I think they got to hot and just coiled up. I have always used Ford radious arm bushings for the front of my links, they allow the link to twist without binding. They also act as a little cushion compared to rod ends.
 
Nice build. :icon_up: so what is your wheelbase at now? 107-110"? And since the rear leaf springs went away are you planning on staying with leaves in the front or going to coilovers?
 
I think my wheel base is about 112 or so, the leafs will stay untill I do coilovers front and rear.
 
Looks a littel different than it did in November. The nose isent pinched yet tho. Looks like more time than money can make for some drastic changes! :ihih: . I wouldn't know tho I don't have either :icon_crying: :icon_crying: . Nice work redy for hollister in March :yikes: .
 
A little bit. I got my new hi-steer arms built and tie road?draglink. I should be able to have my gears installed in a week or so.
 
When you get a chance, could you post a picture of the front of your Scout? I am curious how far the drw axle with the h1s sticks out. Is it going to make the hollister trip?
 
Sad to say, but I had a reality check and this project no longer exist. I just could not justify how much needed to be spent on it to finish it. The good parts will be used in the dd Scout.
 
It's not bragging rights, it's mandatory. We are professional welders and it should be perfect every time, nothing less is acceptable.:icon_cool:

edit: I was responding to cbmind, but apparently he deleated his post.
 
Pipewelder? Deleted it, to far in the thread to make a difference. Didn't look at the time/ date.

Cool rig, too bad it sold. Happy new owner I hope.
