I found this old scout body in my junk box, and started fooling around with some built chassis I have. This chassis in from a Boss Nova I'm working on. It fits better wheel well wise with a Rtpacker chassis, but I kind of like the front rake on this one- kind of like the " Miss Deal"' . I know its far from finished, but what do you guys think ?  |

Looks like it'd make a killer looking gasser Don. Do it up.

Yes! looks like an old A/FX ride with the wheels kicked forward. Do it! (and don't be afraid to open up the wheel wells.) Great idea...

yeah, that looks good. Just stretch the front wheel wells a bit so the tires don't rub, radius the rear fenderwells just a touch to gove some tire clearance...and awayyyyyyy we go !!!
that thing will look cool done up like that.

I agree with the rest.....Go for it!!! Like Brandon said, open up those rear wheel wells a tad, and get it on..

Push it all up in the air a bit more and don't cut a thing! Keep as much International Harvester as possible. Call it "Grim Reaper". Reaper = Harvester, get it? Great idea!!!

Well Don it's not just what I think,
I just happen to know that the chassis that comes with the kit sucks. REmember the HB Police wagon I built..? It had one & I had to straighten it out, what a pain..!
Sooooo just about anything you do will help... My only advice is that if you do the wheelstander or gasser thing (ok by me). GO BIG OR GO HOME...! Attitude will be everything-Hizoot

I think it looks pretty cool! I like the stretched front end as well.
Ken Hawkins did a Pro Street version of a Scout. It turned out nice.
