Thought I would update this build. After coming back from The Nationals Darren took it over to his place to build the amp/speaker box for the rear. He also built pods in the front kick panel area as well that were blended into the Scout. After Darren was done with it the Scout went to the upholsterer to have the carpet installed and interior finished. Then the Scout sat while we had the front leaf springs sent back to Alcan for some arching. This past weekend we took the Scout to the IHSFR and took home the People's Choice Award. With just some fine tuning left to go we shouldbe delivering this Scout to its home by next week.

Here's the latest update. The Scout was delivered to Louis this past Saturday. We took the Scout up to Loon Lake for some pictures before heading back to town for some lunch. As much as I'm glad were done with the project I sure do miss it already.

Hello Jeff, love this scout. I am wondering if you would give us some words on how it drives, wheels, sounds and the power of the engine, trans setup. BTW, how long was build time on this after you guys got it? Things you like/didn't like about the options that were chosen. Thanks, Chip Nimmons

The owner is more than pleased with the way the Scout performs. There's really not much that I would do different if given the oppurtunity to build another Scout like this.

this is the kinda scout that i dream about mine being, more then i dream about girls lately ha. so i got to kno how much money did you spend on this all together and how much did you make off of it?

Someone sent me this PM.

"I was wondering where you got all the parts for the Cold Air Intake set up that is shown in the picture of your engine bay? Do you still know the places and part numbers to get the items? Also, I noticed you are running dual batteries. Are they in series to charge each other or just have one there to run accessories like the radio?"

The carburetor hat is from Superiorairflow. It is typically used in turbo or SC applications. The tube was built by Ihonlynorth using 4" tubing. hoses & clamps are your typical turbo silicon hose connections. Filter is K&N

A marine isolator is used with the dual batteries. 1 main battery runs everything. The other is a backup. The isolator provides manual or automatic control to combine or isolate batteries.
