Hail From The Rusty Northeast

[Kibby]

Hi everyone. Just wanted to say hello. I've been hanging around in here a few days, reading as much as possible. I have three old Scouts, and I WAS going to restore one out of the three, but now that the Rat Rod Bug has bitten me REAL HARD, I might just make a rat scout.

Kind of makes sense to me.

Its got a suitable frame. Rounded body corners. Simple design. Lots of rust.

I have two 1966's, and a 1970. My plan so far is to chop and channel, and attempt to make it look old school truck. I am thinking of extending the frame a foot or so in the front.

Hey Kibby

Welcome from a near by state of New York....you know we love to rust out our old iron.....I have never seen a rat rod Scout before...might be cool tho....most Scouts that I have seen are sky high in the air and covered with mud...
Hope you have fun with your build...sounds interesting for sure...

Welcome to RRR! I like the lowered leave the patina Scouts. They make cool looking sleds.

I'm thinking that making one of my scouts into a ratrod will be twice as much fun, and cost half as much money.
