Restoration

Its a time portal, taking us back to a better time and a better place

Description & Modifiations

Most of the truck is stock,but I replaced the factory wiring harness with a Ron Francis harness. The next thing I did was put in a electronic ignition,electric wipers,new motor mounts,gauges and poly gas
tanks.All chrome was replated,body was media blasted and painted dodge viper red,and replaced the rusted steel top with a k-line top.

Engine

304 v8 ,3 speed,Pertronix ignition,Magnaflow exhaust,
Holly 2 barrel,K&N air cleaner.

Future Modifications

The next thing is a custom wood dash
trim piece,center console,door skins,carpet and
"v' emblems.I included photos that show my dash and
door panel ideas,any suggestions are welcome.

Nice job, you took your time,I like the redone crome and cleanliness and staying close to stock, makes for a great looking Scout! (said over 4 years ago by Neil Brumm).

Looks amazing. I would be interested in finding out how much the total restoration cost. I've got a 79 II in pretty good shape, but looking to do some work to it. Thanks. (said over 4 years ago by Brian Ness).

Sweet looking Scout. (said over 4 years ago by Carlos Arredondo).

Brian Ness-the restoration was aframe off and I have about $20,000 (said over 4 years ago by Eric Monse).

Justin Ledbetter-I had seen a scout 80 being towed behind a big rv in williamsport,pa on a trip.As soon as I got home started searching one.The scout was originally teal green and in nice shape w/90 k miles. (said over 4 years ago by Eric Monse).

Eric needs to reply to Lisa! Spectacular Scout. (said over 4 years ago by Mike Allegretti).

That is the cleanest scout I've ever seen. You did a great job on it. Looks like no detail was over looked. Gives me something to strive for on my scout. (said over 4 years ago by Edward J. Lobrigo).

Looks great. What did you finish the floors and back end with? (said over 4 years ago by rschrader).

The floors are painted black right now,I might put in carpet later. (said over 4 years ago by Eric Monse).

Where did you get the top? Any pictures with the sides down? Nicely done... (said over 4 years ago by Brad).

Hi,I purchased the top from Kayline and here is the site http://www.thejeep.com/kayline/scout.html. Also there is a Scout with the sides down on the site. Thanks

Nice Choice of side mirrors.
What are they from? (said over 4 years ago by Dave Gunselman).

Hey Dave the mirrors came off of a early "60" s Travelall. They are nos,I think they fit the lines of the scout perfectly. (said over 4 years ago by Eric Monse).

Kevin's or Eric's? Eric's or Kevin's? Both are SWEET rigs. I give each a 5+. (said over 4 years ago by Mike Allegretti).

very clean, nice looking truck (said over 3 years ago by Christopher Herman).

Absolutely a 5, but you need the dash trim pieces and V emblems. (said over 3 years ago by Rob ).

Very nice piece of Automotive History. Thank you for sharing it with us all. I have my Granpfathers 63 Model 80. I took my first fishing trip in it and I now have the time for a frame off restoration. I like your suspension height. How many inches? (said over 3 years ago by Marc Canright).

One Tire size are you running? Marc Canright (said over 3 years ago by Marc Canright).

Hi Marc, I have aftermarket shackles that give the Scout about 1'' over the factory height and I'm running 31'' tires. The truck can handle 33's with now problem. (said over 3 years ago by Eric Monse).

this scout is definitely a 5 man, looks like you spent a lot of time on it! its a nice and clean scout. (said over 3 years ago by Jovan).

Dido the complements, very clean and beutiful restoration! (said over 2 years ago by layne).

gorgeous, it's like you could read my mind and raise the funds to build EXACTLY what id love to do to my scout, i bet it makes you look forward to having to drive to the store for a gallon of milk. (said over 2 years ago by Leo Franco).

I agree with Leo. It's what my scout wants to be when it grows up. oh wait... it is what my 80 grew up to be! (said over 2 years ago by Doc G).

That didn't come out right. I meant 80's grew up to be 800's... (said over 2 years ago by Doc G).

This Scout 800 is NAILS ! Did you use Scout II sidelights for your project? (said over 2 years ago by Gordon Thompson).

Gordon,I used Peterson trailer side marker lights for the 800 I could not get nos side markers so I opted for these.You have a sharp eye no one has ever caught that! (said over 2 years ago by Eric Monse).

Eric...thanks for the tip...NOS is pricey if you can find them...unbelievable job on your scout: 5 stars ! (said over 2 years ago by Gordon Thompson).
