Man I love this build! "you get what you pay for" I'm sure you earned that opinion the same way I did, LOL

Awesome vid Levi !

Yes, but what if you're trying to enclose the crusty, old, stiff spaghetti mess of wiring under your Scout hood that's been baking in engine heat for two decades?

Reservation placed

Paint it. Fix it back up. Headlights ect...

Good idea

What is the name of the "C" shaped metal piece that you're turning ?

Siiiiick

I been welding for 20 yrs ish you did great on those welds and your right you do this wrong people get hurt

Looking good

Really cool

Keep the cool stuff coming. That’s one unnecessary scout!! I dig it

In some translations of Prov 31 says, "a woman who will wrench with you in the garage who can find? She is worth far more than rubies."

We had a blast hanging out and cooking with y'all for this very special occasion. The SmökScout is a phenomenal addition to the Fatlighter focus, and we love sharing it with everyone. Y'all are the best 💙

Thank you both for coming up to the mountains and doing all that work (and all that stuffing!!!!). So nice to meet you both 🤗 and awesome video!

🤙 great job guys!

Great video!

Such a cool (Hot?) Scout. Great BBQ, too.

6:48 a drill or the right size mill bit works great! ... In and Milling Machine!! :) .. I hate t try it by hand. Carbon Ark Gouger also would work great, IF the operator has experience gouging, this job NOT the pace to practice IMO

That is very encouraging!! with your wife's progress!!! <3 My wife got diagnosed with cancer years ago, once they found out what kind it was (breast cancer) she lived for a week and 6 days. :(

That's also the way melling suggests you prime a system after a new pump install. I had a blockage just past that port in my recent build. Nothing would get pressure to pick up until I shot shop air through the system to clear it. Never seen that before in all the motors I swapped in. Just sharing Info in case you see it in the future. You can see what happened in the video on my channel if your curious

How much to do the job

Let's see it

Another awesome job 😎🤘

I have an Auxbeam GB80 in my van and it makes wiring up multiple lights/accessories super clean and easy.

Definitely needs heat barrier on transmission tunnel. When I did the Powahstroke I put heatshield on firewall but didn't put anything on the trans tunnel and it got so hot you couldn't touch it and it was miserable. Pulled the trans tunnel and added dynamat and aluminum heat shield. So. Much. Cooler!

Digging the side exit!

Come on with it!

O hell yes. Let's try it out. I will bring the pig

Looks like a super fun Scout, LS3 and a 6L80 would be a sweet setup. I'm curious on a Scout like this that's primarily a nice cruiser; how you like to setup the steering and suspension? What's it got for caster? Got a special box like PSC or anything? I see it's not reserve shackle, looks like it's dialed in to drive pretty nice though! Also curious what springs are in it and do you prefer poly or rubber spring bushings in an application like this? Thanks for sharing!

Eating Frito pie in WV is fitting

Lol I painted my scout 2 this same "Dark Hunter Green" paint color, glad to see it finished on the same car as mine, because I still have a few more coats!

Awesome!

Ever tried a vacuum coolant bleeder? Brandon has one. Bleeds LS cooling systems quick.

Loved hearing Athena say 'slow down!'.....

Always awesome content for Scout folks! Thank you Levi!

Ya know.....watching this *almost* has me thinking about putting an LS in one of my rigs....hmmmmm Awesome work Levi! Hope you guys are doing well!

Love the green, can't wait to drive my 79 scout2, it has build sbc with t19 thinking about auto overdrive transmission swap.

Roughly how much for a restor like this?

Nice

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. YYYEEAHHH!!!!!!

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa - Yeah🤟🤪

What else could you fit in there ? Too short for Barra, I tried 😊😊😊

Love the build and old scouts. If I didn’t have the bronco it would be a scout.

Good job Levi. Not really fond of the side exhaust because of sound. I guess you will flex when you get it all running. Love you passion!!!

I’m really enjoying this build. The fit and finish is great

As usual Good job

Please: constructive criticizm here, because I really like your channel. The rigs you work on and build are absolutely bad-ass! And your skillset and craftsmanship are excellent. Buuuut,,,,,,,,, I can't help but find great humor in the irony of you always stating you are trying to "grow the channel". But then, "off camera this happened". Not sure which you say more? And, I'm sure it already haunts you. But seriously, I'm sure most of us are here to see "look at me build". Not "look what I built". Sorry man. I know that camera has got to be a PITA. But, showing what you did will never get you as far as showing what you are doing. This video had lots of great content. But, there have been a few bummers along the way. Like I said, constructive criticizm. Now that that is out of the way, LOL. I just did the exact same thermal barrier treatment under my tow-pig ('06 5.9/6-sp). The barrier itself is most excellent! The tape? Garbage. I'm currently looking for something better to go back over all the seams as half the original stuff is gone already (about 6 months, maybe 800 miles?).

I’m with you. The look of the Traveler is awesome but it is an EV. I am not a big EV guy either. Now I am a little interested in the mileage extender. Would look forward to more info on that. How about a Hybrid. I am registered as well. I love the old and love the new. I am an IH er and plan to stay that way. Thanks for the opportunity to comment.

this is the sound, the bearings are new, the half-axle is straight, what makes this sound?
