Stories:
Purchased off of e-bay. I loved that everything was there. Once the work began so did some of the horror. Once the top was removed from body and the body removed from the frame there was just too much rusted out metal to deal with. I located a replacement tub from IH Only out of Lancaster. Every nut, bolt and component from this Scout has been removed, cleaned, sandblasted, primered and painted. During the rebuild of this 5 year project the wife and I moved. At one time this Scout and all of its parts were in three different locations. The frame and all running gear were at Rock-Tech in La Habra, the body and all body parts at the paint shop and every nut, bolt and component was photoed, logged, bagged and tagged and stored in about 35 Avon boxes at our new house. This project took a lot of time and patients, but I love the out come!
