IH 1978 Scout II

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Upholstery is back. I'm absolutely stunned by the quality. The attention to detail to make the lines match is second to none with the french seams. The mocha plaid with the black Paloma leather is the bomb, IMO for this build and the colors. Can't wait to get is all installed.

I made the ScheelMann Vario F seat adapters to work with the Scout platform brackets.

The map pockets are the cats meow for me too!

Always a good day when the engine swap fires up. All lights function and AC controls are operable with the Restomod Air system. Love sound of the Magnallow exhaust.

Now to clean the engine bay up and bit and start on the interior wiring finishing touches. Then on to the interior.

Engine bay electrical, AC and cooling lines all finished up. Steering column is set, telescoping shaft made with new joints, brakes bled.

Waiting on on the wood grained Scout steering wheel and adapter and then on to dash and interior.

Grill is on and lights are set and adjusted.

The Dapper Lighting OE7 are my go to anymore for a 7" headlight. Excellent bright pattern. These are the "BLACK" model. I usually run the OE7 clears. But wanted to stay with the blackout theme for this build.

Will be moving this one out tomorrow for interior and bumper work and bringing in the next Scout.

New aftermarket shifter and wood wrapped steering wheel arrived.

The shifter knobs are finally back from the engraver. Damn happy with the final product.
