Please include any additional information on back:

The Scout tub was chopped 3 inches and narrowed 12”. The front and rear fenders were removed and set up to be skins. The hood and grill were dovetailed the front 20”. The rear factory tailgate was cut down and set up so that it still functions as a tailgate and hides a cubby for tools and spares. The Scout “truck top” was narrowed 10” and the cage was built so that it can come on and off and fits over the cage. The windshield was also narrowed and set up so that it can still fold down like the factory windshield.

Premier Power Welder.
