Well my Scout has been taking up space on my driveway for more than a year. Today it moved under it's own power. :eek: There is a lot of work left, but needed to flex it to measure for shocks.

Looks good, a flexy Scout, how about a close up shot of the rear under frame springs.

I'll soon be getting some hummer rims, who did your recentering and how did it turn out?

Man, that's looking good!

Thanks, I have been spending a lot of time on it latey trying to get it ready. Everything is taking way more time then one thinks, from ordering parts to installing them, to building fab stuff to install parts, ect. I was hoping to have it streetable this past weekend, but that did not happend. My brother is flying out this Wednesday, so I better get my junk ready or it's going to be a boring week while he is here. Rigth now I'm waiting on parts, but I still need to trim fenders and fix odd and ends. I will post up some new pictures in a few days
