  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    I had a 62 when I went to college. It had a 225 Buick in it and was built like a tank. The thing went about anywhere. The only time I had trouble was because I was poor, running highway tires, had such bad spark plug wires that it looked like the 4th of July under the hood at night, and needed a starter so I parked on a hill whenever I could. Would love to have another one some day.

    I have two, working on a third. I have a 63 and a 64. The 64 has is a convertible top, which I didn't even know was offered. Both need total restos, the 63 is more for parts. There is a company that is offering a complete fiberglass tub for these for about 2500 bucks. probably the way to go. anyway, once my buick is out of the garage, Its go time on the scouts...

    I grew up with a couple of Scouts my dad had. One was a Traveller version with a diesel. The other was a Scout II. That was the more fun one. I had a blast in the summer as a teenager taking the hard top off and using the soft top. I would take it surf fishing and such. It was a great smaller 4WD vehicle. Wish I still had it.

    If you haven't found one yet the Scout nationals are held Memorial Day weekend at the Cars and Parts Magazine spring swap meet/show at the Clark Co fairgrounds in Springfield, Oh which is definitely within driving distance for you. I made it in 1 1/2 hrs to Grand Lake-St Marys which isn't too far from you! Plenty of trucks and parts for these, just a thought:TU:

    Good to know. I am spending a ton of money on my Skylark right now, this has taken a backseat to that. New front suspension, power brakes, new tires and new exhaust is starting to add up to some $$
