Just stopped in to say HI! I have not been to the forum for a while but I have been busy. I have gotten in some paddling but I have been busier restoring a 1974 Scout. Having a good time gettin greasy. At least the grease washes off, not like epoxy . I will try to visit more often.

Hey Glen, good to hear from you again. Yes I have some pics Posted below. I bought it off of Ebay I tought it was going to be a parts truck because it had a bad tranny leak and I did not want to spend $400 for a rebuilt. When I got it home the tranny leak turned out to be the torque convertor($80) cheap fix. After a good tune up and some basic TLC it runs like a dream. It runs better than my 75 Scout, just don't tell my 75 I said that she's tempermental. I am fixing some rust with plans on a new paint job. I also installed a 2" body lift. Oh yea one of the doors was welded on, I have fixed that also.
I only paid $410 for it and $100 to trailer it home. I have taken the top off and made a roll bar, and installed a bikini top. Just turning out to be a fun summer project. Heres a couple of pics.

Real close to being finished
I thought I would post a couple of picture of the Scout, she's almost done
As you can see my paint job needs to be fixed, it came out 2-toned. It was my mistake, the doors and hood and tailgate has 2 more coats than the fenders and I did not realize it would make that big of a difference, but with metalic paint it DOES.
