I'm almost there. Plus that's my favorite line from the original Star Wars.
I'm trying to make my Scout nice on the eyes, but, even nicer on the trails.
It's not going to be an all show and no go type rig. It'll also handle it's own.

Thanks Dale. Hoping to have all the mods done by late March. The anual Scout rondevous is March 27, 28 so I'm gonna try to have it ready for that. I'll post some more pictures as the work progresses.

Thanks brother, I'll send pictures of everything once I get them installed. (said over 2 years ago by Edward J. Lobrigo).
Nice Scout -- scoutparts.com sells the dash w/gauges; the new cluster doesn't have turn indicators or brake warning lights, though. I used LEDs - I will post pics soon ("Not-So Green" Traveler)... (said over 2 years ago by Mike Allegretti).

Thanks Rob, I go on some trail rides with the scout club here every once and a while. They go through the trees while I go around them if I can. My kids would be upset with me if I came home with a bunch of dents. (said about 1 year ago by Edward J. Lobrigo).
I got most of the modifications done. I'll be posting some new pictures in a few days. (said about 1 year ago by Edward J. Lobrigo).
Awesome new pics! Overall that is one of the top rigs on this site definitely a 5. Let's see the engine and interior. (said about 1 year ago by Rob Gojkovich).
I'll post some pictures of the engine, but the interior is gonna have to wait untill I put the carpet kit in. Don't want my score to drop with the way it looks right now. LOL

Edward, I'm out of NorCal I've got the '68 TRUSTEE, but I went to school in Phoenix back in '78 & '79 and did some wheelin' there. (said about 1 year ago by Rob Gojkovich).
That's too bad. Well if by some chance you are around here, come on by, we'll save you a cold one.
