    The interior is an untouched time capsule.

        That is so awesome. What are your plans for it?

        And why do you say that you are a retard?


        "The Camry is an appliance, not a car. It attracts folks who have the same regard for driving that they have for washing dishes,
        i.e. it's a necessary but somewhat unpleasant chore and they want something to make the task a little easier and insulate them from the process."

              Half cab <3 this thread is so much win. A local I know owns one, he will NOT let it go. Makes me sad.

                  Plans are for my eyes only at the moment, still working on the details.

                  Driving with no roof and the windshield folded down when its 40 degrees out gets me an honorary retard card. And wind burn sometimes....

                    Picked up a sweet '62 plate from Frog here on r3v. Georgia allows you to use a tag from the same year model as your vehicle (1970 and older).



                    Lots of knobs and levers.

                          Awwww man, looking at the added pic's really makes me happy for you. That truck is amazing and a functioning piece of history.

                          Really great heirloom you have there. Keep the updates coming it is a real treat.

                            Been driving the Scout full time since it's reawakening and really enjoying it. A lot of parts that were NLA when i first rebuilt it in 99/2000 are now available again or reproductions are being made. Rubber eng and trans mounts are one of those items so i put a set on and its a much smoother ride. All the window/door weatherstripping for the '61-early '62 is now availble as well so i'll prob get some.

                            I have driven the E30 twice since i started driving the Scout and oh my goodness, the E30 feels like a DTM refugee straight off the track! It is absolutely ridiculous.

                                Nice Scout. I've owned two IH trucks, these things are nearly bullet proof. (I'd like to have a nice clean Travelall myself)
