...been slow, it's supposed to hit 115 degrees today.

Not fun fabrication weather.

well been slammed with work, wishin it was on my scout but thats how the cookie crumbles sometime..
Here is a paint job i finished up for the 4th

Still waiting to see the painted samples

i had some time to prep the door jambs and a few other parts and sprayed some sealer over them. Once i find some time, i need to start drilling all the spot welds to separate the actual 'door jamb' from the outside of the cab and bottom inner rockers.

Remember these are the jambs from Alice, that are being reversed and then installed into Aliceson. I have just been busy with customers cars and no real free time to work on my own stuff lately..

Along with the door jambs, was able to prep some other Scout II parts. And sprayed some sealer on the mini scout i had won at the rendezvous 6 months or so ago.
This mini scout was made by (https://customscoutsdotcom) up in canada.
I have since cut the top off to mimic my build obviously.
Tomorrow i should be able to sand down the mini scout and spray some of the color i had mixed for it to see how it looks...

OK here it is..


Rare 1972 GM Mojave Gold with all the bright red trim, parts and other goodies..

....also been messing around with my TA hood

in a few weeks, we are finally supposed to have no more triple digit weather..

been busy with customers vehicles, and looking forward to getting back into my scout.

I feel bad its been sitting all this time, but, the rear air bags are still keeping the body up, when the front went down some time ago. I'm pretty impressed.
lol

-hope everyone is doing well

Wooohoooo

1 OCT--spooky season !!

we have been under 95 for about 2 weeks now.

its beautiful outside.

Ive got a t bucket im doing some red candy flames on, and then an orange mach 1 for paint, and a scout ii waiting for a few repairs right after.

I'll be able to get my scout back on thefab table and finish up the chassis.

Im excited so much to do..

I need money. lol. maybe ill start a gofund my scout page. :)

Wow that looks great I love it ! Nice work.

moved some things around, so pulled this out for a quick pic

ive got 2 more in front of it, then i can get back to hammering on it again

I hate to see my own stuff sit, but customers are #1

sometimes it sucks to have work and not be able to do things on your own vehicle..

but i guess if i said the opposite i would be in a world of hurt with the bill collectors.

I hope everyone is happy and healthy during this holiday season...

This past weekend I was able to get some time on my scout finally.

Removed the rear axle and sent it and several other parts out for snad blasting.
It was painted to match my old truck, but now that it’s going to be painted red, its needs stripped down, epoxied and prepped for paint.

Been slowly drilling out the spot welds on the new door jambs as id like to start getting them positioned in place for my giant pipe dream..

I have not figured out a radiator. Id like to use a GM truck like 2010 or so radiator and fan assembly. I’ll be running the engine on a P59 computer, so I can’t get into the super cool PWM fans that all the late model stuff is using. That one single camaro fan is like 65 amps and 5500 CFM at full pull… that’s an amazing amount of air.

The street rod left last week, and were finishing up a vintage air install on a 69 camaro.
A real nice 65 chevy II with a 540ci bbc, came in for some brake work as well.

If I don’t get back in here in time, I wanted to wish you all out there a Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and a bitchen New Year’s to Y’all !!

Congrats on the progress, and Merry Christmas to you!!

Well, took the Scout out to a local IH event, and won best in class and best in show.

Then we got invited to be the nationals to compete against all the other winners across the country.

super excited!
