Project Skuggy

Also that bedliner turned out pretty good. Who sprayed that???

Dude! That guy in some of the pics looks like someone I know!!! Wait.........

It always amazes me how much a coat of paint (or bedliner) can add to the look of a project. Looking good!

Thanks Carl, it amazes me too! We got that on and I suddenly got really motivated to get some more work done!

Well, it's been a while and I have gotten quite a bit of work done but I don't have too many pics 'cause it is always dark when I finish up for the night! We decided to rewire the whole Scout which was very satisfying! going from 32+ year old, half melted, insufficient gauge wiring to nice, new, higher gauge, more fuses, all soldered and heat-shrunk wiring is a great feeling. :greg:
Old wiring:

Built some bumpers (not quite finished in these pics):

Built the exhaust:

Got the dash in and painted the scout. It's not a great paint job but the ghost grey military surplus paint was pretty old as is the body on the scout. The main reason we painted it was for rust prevention.

That's all the pics I have for now, we got a new windshield frame in MUCH better shape than our old one which is now painted and will be installed after work today and then Jones will come out to install the glass and it'll be time to see if it passes emissions!

Well, I don't have any pics but the scuggy is done! (at least until January) We sprayed the top with black bedliner, got all the door panels installed, shifter cover plate installed, back seat, seat belts, windshield, steering wheel, new radiator, 37s etc. It passed emissions with flying colors and inspection with less than flying colors (but hey, passed is passed) and is being used as a DD in SLC right now. In the near future are tube fenders, OBA and a rear tire carrier.

I found a few pics before we put the top and grill on but after the tire swap and the install of the interior pieces. For your viewing pleasure:

Sorry for the lame flex pics, I was trying to check tire clearance and those ramps and the curb were the best thing i could come up with for an unregistered/uninsured vehicle.

No kidding-the last 3 weeks of working on it the scout took over my life! It feels good to be psudo finished. I will make sure to take some good pics when it is back down here to get the tube fenders fabbed. It looks pretty cool with the black top on.

I like the exhaust hole right above a rust hole!

Looks good.. True about the bedliner and fresh paint..

 

[ChestonScout]

Looking good man!


The dash is sweet

Thanks! We have the new panels for that area on both sides-just a matter of putting 'em in.

Looking good man!


The dash is sweet

Thanks Cheston! That is one of my favorite parts as well!:greg:

 

[pELYgroso]

are you ever gonna do anything about those garden-edging flares?

 

[ChestonScout]

are you ever gonna do anything about those garden-edging flares?

I think you should replace them with a cut up tractor tire.


That would be wicked cool

... tube fender flares (tied into the bumpers and rockers/sliders) ...

...In the near future are tube fenders, ...

However, I am liking Cheston's idea...................Hmmmmmmmmmm.....
