1963 Scout 80 Resto mod
Pics will be slow at first, as there are customer projects in the shop that need more attention than personal toys.
Plans are:
-Slammed to the ground
-4 corner double adjustable coil overs, bags or ridetech shockwaves
-stock appearing interior/exterior
-custom doors ( no windows, solid top, possibly with later model door jambs and hinges )
-chopped top
-4 corner Wilwood big brakes
-fuel fill behind rear taillight
-Dakota Digital gauges
-full LED lighting
-custom paint, possibly silver on sides and red on top
-both full sized top and small 'truck' style top
-vintage air heat/ac
-LS powered
I'm thinking all red interior, red with painted sides and bed liner on the floors all red, same matched colors.
My seats are already covered in greyish leather. So, I'll match the leather color to the paint, and then spray the outside in that color. The outside, the seats, and the leather on the billet steering wheel will all match.
I don't want anything that sticks out or doesn't look right inside of the scout. Want to keep it looking like it came that way.
Here is a potential rending I drew up to get a visual..

got some parts in the mail today.
4-link
coil overs
body mount bushings
collapsible steering shaft
Once we get some tabs and things ground off and removed from the chassis, we should be ready to fit the body on and center up the wheels in the wheel wells..
This chassis has been stripped and sent out for some cleaning.
it's now just a bare frame with nothing attached to it.

carpet sample came in.
I can take this and match it to some red paint and can paint interior..
It is a 'more red' than GMs red. Hard to see in the picture, but GMs red is more orangy.
