Lots of fun happening here

Wow! That is lots of fun! Have you pulled your fuel tank(s) yet? Any rust issues with those?

 

[gertsch]

Tanks pulled. The passenger one was pretty nice looking exterior. Never ran it or looked inside it. Pulled the driver tank tonight and it was ugly exterior but I was using it and it never plugged my fuel filter or shows signs of rust. I won't be using either tank though. I'm doing a singe rear mounted 21 gallon cj tank.

I like your scout, I just purchased a 75 international scout. Any tips on working with the carb or engine?

Ive only bought the outer rocker and quarter panel. The rest is all my dad and me. I bought a 5x10 sheet of 16 gauge galvanized.
