My Scout

This is my cousin and me hooking it up to tow it back to WI.

Familiar position. (that's a glare, not a scratch).

Took bumpers off '74 Scout, sandblasted, and painted them.

I put original Scout II wheels and covers back on it. (not shown)

The following are pictures of my adapted Holley Pro-Jection. I had to machine the intake holes out 1/2 inch diameter bigger to match the Holley.

I had this Scout up to 120mph, and it was still climbing. Talk about a tank! It started to shimmy pretty bad, so I slowed down.
