My nephew just turned 12. He also just tore the crap out of his knee and cant play football or ride for the next 3-4 years. This really bummed the little (not so little..I may have to watch those jokes soon). guy out so I was thinking over the next two years we could build him a Scout. I'll be in Sheppard AFM for a year but I guess that gives me time to collect parts.
So I have a guy that wants to sell me a POS 1970 Scout800b for $100. It has a V8 of questionable workability. Semi floater D44 rear D30 front that I may keep till they go or just find some D44s. Its has a POS SOA that would go instantly along with the F'd up steering and wiring job. Its an auto BW I think that should work. I'm thinking 33s-35s to start him out and maybe ScoutII springs SOA, corvette brakes and hydro steering.
Its pretty rusty but it would be a trail rig that lives at Uncle Jon's house that his stupid deuche bag mom(my sister Mrs. Bipolar) couldnt touch. We could have alot fun with it and he'd learn alot about it and cars in general.
This way we could go out and have a blast together.
Sugestions? I'm not a kid person but this guy is great and very responsible. I cant wait to teach him how to weld.
