Grumpy's secret Scout build
Grumpy's secret Scout build
We will move this to an area that is visible to all after we get this project done. Or at least mostly done. For know we are trying to keep Grumpy in the dark as to its location and progress. Thank you for understanding.

If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best.

Running new fuel line from the fuel tank foward. The old line was hard and brittle ruber almost all the way back. Replaced it with new steel line.

Re: Post pictures and progress here.
It was very reasonable considering the task. 
Scout is back at undisclosed location.

Yes that is an early Bronco air filter assembly. It is the only thing we had that would clear the hood.

Re: Grumpy's secret Scout build
It's home, and I'm in shock. Complete awe on my part. For once, I am so overwhelmed, words escape me.

Re: Grumpy's secret Scout build
Tank was out, and new lines run to the carb. Got a couple other issues first. Stay tuned....

Re: Grumpy's secret Scout build
Well, consultation with Dan at Binder Boneyard indicates that new Holley will require a Lokar universal kickdown kit. Inquiry made to Lokar.

Re: Grumpy's secret Scout build
Got the new pan on the transmission without making a mess or breaking anything. Now to see where the gremlin is in the fuel system. Get the silly thing running and I can see if today's efforts got the job done.
As far as the trans, seems I'm missing the throttle valve lever for kick down. APB is out for one, and I think I'll need a Lokar cable.

Re: Grumpy's secret Scout build
Couple of things to work on yet, in no particular order:
Decent drive shafts.
Downshift linkage/throttle pressure lever
Fuel issue
Replace light switch and get lights working
Mount bumpers
Check out the winch and R&R as needed
Go through the ARB and install
Install the Lockright
Re-bleed the brakes
I'm pretty sure that ain't all...
