As with most IH vehicles, the cancer over the years had taken the better part of the Scout and made for a less then ideal body line. Fortunately, one of the previous owners cared enough to apply approximately 17 gallons of fiberglass body filler to the scout, so at first glance she seems rather smooth! Unfortunately as you start shipping of the 300 lbs of bondo... it becomes apparent that the Scout had lived a hard life and been mistaken for the General Lee more then once. This thing had been jumped so hard that the bump stop ripped the frame rails open both front and rear and there were drivetrain indents on the the inside of the trans tunnell. Regardless, I didn't care for most of the stock stuff... so Mr. Hypotherm and Mrs. Sawzall made a couple visits to try and cut out the tumors.
I will post up some more info later...
