Just starting this build. First thing to be done The grill. Before and after

I just added this blade from the revel GMC pickup kit to a scoutII, If you look closer at the grill it's close to a 74/75 grill. something I did to it to change model year's as the scout body never changed from 71-80. BTW my Uncle worked at Harvester's Scout Factory in FT. Wayne Indiana.

It's funny that no one mentioned that under the hood is two batteries, As far as I rember Gasoline engines only need one.

Yep, it can be hard to change a race car but , It's easier to do to a early to mid 70's then 79 up. I plan on building a second one but paint the body this time. This first one is blue because I liked the shade of blue it was in.

thank's for all the kind comments

I know what you mean, I wished they would have made the Scout Traveler as well. An 1980 scout is a easy conversion to do by just changing the grill and the head lights. Ertl did have several scout kits out which included Super scout , off road, and ralley. The topless door less one was the super scout, a rear kit indeed to find.

Seen a real one this color parked in someones drive way Around Lima Ohio. love that turquoise and white paint style. BTW I bought the kit from Wal-Mart online for a total cost of $16.38! shipped free to my local wally world.

Kit bashed with 2 other kits, 77 Monte carlo, and a 70 Chevelle.

Yes It's ertl's simple kit but with a few extra parts under the hood helps. Here are two more scout's First is a 1980 which was the last year of production and the second is a scout terra pickup, Maybe ertl could have produced both?

LUCKY!

I just cashed in a gift card at Wal- Mart.Com had will have a New 60 impala kit at my local store for me to pickup on the 27 th of august. Total cost ? a whopping $16.38!

picture search shows the 283 as either red or orange as Chevy may have had a mid year engine color change. But then again in factory photo's in 1959 you will see a lot of the v-8's red and the six cly in a blue paint. The 57 Convertible that I'm building will have the engine in red. Although it seem's to me that any of those three colors would be correct. As it will be up to the builder on the choice of engine color.

EDSEL Chevy

If I rember right that yellow engine was a FORD product and not Chevy. At least that's the color AMT/ERTL painted the 58 EDSEL engine on the pre-painted kit with white valve covers.

I bought one this week at a hobby shop for a mear $24.00 + tax. It started out white but now looks like this I found that the head light chrome lacks detail so I swiped a set from a retooled amt 57 Chevy (they fit perfectly on the revell.) My only real gripe with the kit would be the bottom is from the 56 chevy kit ( I know this because the 56's firewall, radiator , engine are included in this kit. BTW Revell call's the Stock rear bumper and the stock air cleaner CUSTOM? the Other back bumper would have been a option that you could have chosen back then. Even with this It's a great kit and I for one am glad Revell issued it.

small steel tube's rusting, that's a fact for anyone who has a car in area's of the country that has snow, salt, and such. My brothers ford's body was rusted badly and it was a 2005! most people who live in the north know's to expect rust and should keep tabs of any chassie components. Really brake line is not all that exspensive to buy and replace. you can buy Green coated bendable brake line and fittings for less than $100.00. I replaced the rusted brake lines on my 88 Chevy for around $50.00 and had the lines changed in under 2 hrs. It's not hard to do. Should GM be held liable for brake lines? why Ford wasn't held liable for their frames rusting out! Again small steel tubes that are in close contact with the ground and weather. Did the report say where the vast majority of pickup's and suv are located?

HONDA ANNOUCES 1 MILLON CAR RECALL, DUE TO AIR BAGS. THE same air bags that GM recalled! The report also stated many more recall's are likely from other automakers that had gotten the same air bags.

It's a decent Kit but if you want more detail you can use the engine, and all from the revell 66 impala kit as the parts fit very well. the only parts you would not use from the revell kit would be the body,interior,Chrome and clear parts. As I said these two kits combine to make one awesome 76 caprice. BTW the trailer still comes with that kit.

Funny, I bought four of the promo's for a whole $10.00 each. Two red two green Now I only have a red one left, but I'm keeping it! we have a farm toy show in Van Wert ohio every September. That's where I bought mine , The fella had two cases of them . Most likely he will be at the show again this year , and will be selling them again! Anyone who lives in the quad state area could get to Van Wert Ohio for this show! they have lost of neat things to see and buy.

It upset's me to see how anyone can make fun of anyone for spelling error's. I can't spell as well as I want to, But that's because I have L.D. Did it ever cross anyone's mind that Maybe that person had a stroke? or other issue that would cause the misspelling and such. Well I agree with IMPCON about what he said. I know him very well, Please don't judge him because of his spelling errors. As he said it's a forum for models not to complain about spelling issues.

Revell 57 ford under $16.00 Revell 50 olds under $16.00 Amt kits from 14.39-16.00 I bought the 69 Olds on sale for 14.39. Just thought you guys would like to know about the cheaper kit's

That why I wrote about the medications, No it don't have anting to do with automotive issues but it's still relevant due to company practices! GM knew the switch could Fail, Ford knew the pinto gas tank was unsafe, Chrysler knew they had issues with cars in the past. All these companies knew things were wrong and let them slide. Not to get off the subject here but International Harvester had one of the best 4x4's out there. the body's tended to rust badly. but what ended the scout? recall's corperate greed? None of those because Harvester was mainly a farm and truck maker. CAFE' standards killed the scout.

GM is not the only issue out there How about the medication and Surgical recall's that are coming out almost weekly? So many death's or life threating outcomes! Bladder swings, T- gels, Anti depression drugs, Metal hip replacement, Tylinol, Avandia, just to mention a few. Even the newer drugs If you listen to some of the sideeffcts things like kidney or liver damage can happen? heart problems ect. and Just like GM these companies knowingly sell these things. As I said before Recall's happen. After seeing what Dialysis can do to people first hand and there are still lawsuits pending for bad drugs used for that treatment. How many people died because medications ? or from bad surgery? To many far more than the 13 death's in the gm car recall's yes death is death but mass death from medication's that are ment to save live's?
