Hey Fellas! Sorry...just returned from driving half way to S America and back! The joys of real estate!

Anyway, yeah, Scouts are pretty capable offroad. Here's my last one: 77 Scout II .

Yep, the International Harvester guys are trying to get me to go to Prescott next month for the big "Tractor equipment gathering". I'd love to go, but I don't trust the thing to get me there just yet. Soon, though!

Yeah, I just finished the rear brakes so it's roadworthy. I'm just doing a few short drives to find/iron out any issues that might leave me stranded somewhere. None of the guages work right now, but all the lights, brakes, and engine seem to be in pretty good shape. The 90 hp slant 4-cyl is a powerhouse -- NOT! It's got lotsa torque and low speed though.

Mike - you have 2 or 4 of those hangin' around?

Dan - PM will be sent in a sec.

I just came from Pep Boys - two new mirrors for the doors and a wire wheel for scraping the surface rust on the floors. Overall it's not bad. I'd say in the next week or so it'll be ready to take more than just a couple miles. I so want to take the top off soon, but don't know about the strength of the rollbar yet...we'll see.

More updates this weekend!

Edit: The wall banner went to kayak_x in NCCX - he had dibs on it like a year ago. I have a new one though...can't find a pic.

Edit 2: Akio - yeah, great to see you again - it's been at least a year and a half - glad to hear things are going well!
