    Nah, nothing yet. I got my steering box put back together. I gotta make up some plates to reinforce the frame. Once those are welded on I have to put the steering back together, attach a rocker.
    Also picked up a complete GM TBI system. Just need a few more parts and it will be fuel injection time...

    Finally got some more work done on the Scout, been busy as hell with other stuff. The only real weak spot on a Scout frame is the steering box, mine had not cracked yet but I plated it anyway. I also added a waggy pitman arm, so it should make steering easier.

    Gotta get some plates made for the rear frame now....It was starting to fail. Everything else looks pretty solid.

    So back at it had to replace my drivers side rocker:


    The rear frame was rusted pretty bad, so I got some plate and welded it up... Hopefully it holds.




    I also replaced all the brakes, hardware and axle seals. Hopefully it will be back on the road this week.

    Well you could do like I did...and plate the whole damn frame for no other reason than the fact that you're new and think more is better. Less is more! lol
