'73 Scout II Daily Driver/ Weekend Wheeler

[Chuck Most]

I ordered an SSII transkit from Time Machine, and figured I'd build up another Scout II kit while I was waiting for it to show up. Well, it's done, and the SSII still hasn't showed. Sigh...

Highlights include-

Olds 455 V8 W/TBI

4-speed Manual Tranny

Lifted Suspension

Super Swamper TSL Radials (Now available from Ma's Resin! )

Sliding Quarter Glass (Well, non funcioning on the model, but you know what I mean!)

Scratchbuilt bumpers and '73 spec grille.

Scratchbuilt hood w/Nova Cowl scoop

Ted Nugent Dazzle Paint (Inca Gold, Revving Red fade, flat black stripes, and a dull coat and dust over all of it)

Plus a bunch of other stuff I'm too traumatized to recall at this time.

This is probably my 45th Scout model. I really like Scouts!

I gotta get one of these kits. This is looking great Chuck! Nice weathering too!

Looks good! I like the way it looks... lifted, radiused, all business.
