Scotty2Hotty Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 As the project began, we started out with a straight bodied 71' International Scout that was purchased in California from a customer of ours. Plans were just for a ground up restoration, but now has quickly turned into a really fun resto-mod. Here's what we've got so far: http://www.pickupspluscars.com/images/PPC%20Gallery/Projects/72%20Scout/pro02_01.jpg http://www.pickupspluscars.com/images/PPC%20Gallery/Projects/72%20Scout/pro02_03.jpg http://www.pickupspluscars.com/images/PPC%20Gallery/Projects/72%20Scout/pro02_05.jpg http://www.pickupspluscars.com/images/PPC%20Gallery/Projects/72%20Scout/pro02_06.jpg Old 304 2-Barrel http://www.pickupspluscars.com/images/PPC%20Gallery/Projects/72%20Scout/pro02_07.jpg To paint: Primered hatch http://www.pickupspluscars.com/images/PPC%20Gallery/Projects/72%20Scout/pro02_09.jpg Painted in Silver Birch http://www.pickupspluscars.com/images/PPC%20Gallery/Projects/72%20Scout/pro02_11.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stimmel1647545512 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Damn that think will be sick I love those, P.S. is that a 87-93 GT I spy on the lift? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Damn that think will be sick I love those, P.S. is that a 87-93 GT I spy on the lift? Wait til you see the paint, it'll be close to a Sunset Orange Metallic. I believe that was a 91GT with a Novi 2000 we had in a lil while ago. Did eibach springs, 3.73 gears and an SCT tune.
