Scout Restoration Series: Removing the Hood and Fender
In this video Wray brought in the 1966 International Scout 800 so we can remove the fender and hood. In this series we are trying to show what problems you will encounter when restoring any automobile. Since the scouts we have were from New England you will encounter a lot of rust. Some panels may need to be remade while others will need a patch panel put in. Taking the fender off we encountered stubborn bolts. With the use of a cut off wheel and a torch we were able to free the fender. The hood was much easier to remove as there were only 6 bolts and they weren't rusted in place. In the next part of the International Scout Restoration we will be tackling the surface rust on the hood and also cutting out the portion of the International Scout Fender to be replaced.

Live in Fort Wayne, In , a lot of my friends built these scouts !
This is a got to watch series.
Specialty Stripping in North Hampton, NH will cure your blast phobia and save Mark some elbow grease, lol. Seriously they do a good job, but I understand wanting to stay away from that process, it has its flaws. Keep the videos coming, you guys do cool stuff. Thanks
I like your positive attitude as you work. After finding that much rust most people would haul it off to the scrap yard. You are a inspiration to us that are just starting on a restoration project. THANKS Dan H
This is exactly the type of series I have been looking for!
Good start Ray this is exactly what the home restorers look for, relevant simpler fabrication jobs that can be tackled.
Keen to watch this series
Going to be a great series.
Thanks this will help me out a lot when I redo my 68 bronco
👍
I'll be following this project with interest Wray. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Such energy would still be impressive in a much younger man.
Thanks Wray. Looking forward to this build. If metal is clay, I must be the Picasso of sculpting. You know what his paintings look like! I hope I can learn something from watching your videos.
Looking forward to seeing you sculpt some clay!
Looking forward to your series. I have an 85 Vanagon that is rusting in my driveway.
Looks like it’s shaping up to be a good series.👍
Forensic car restoration!
I’m excited to follow along with this restoration as there are so many that just replace parts. The problem I’m having is that there are no parts available, so a lot (all) of the parts have to be made!
Looking forward to this one!! Good luck and thanks for posting!! 🤙
This looks like a great series Wray. Thank you, I am restoring a 1956 Mack B-42, but I am in New Mexico, so little rust. But the right fender and door were in a fire, so that is my issue.
This is exactly what I need. Thanks for the series!
Looking forward to seeing this develop 👍👏👏
Looking forward to this series.
Love your work Wray, I have learnt a lot from your videos thank you, looking forward watching more about the Scouts. Hello from Australia Simon.
Thanks, Wray, looking forward to this series. I am working on a full size 61 Pontiac 2 door hardtop and no one makes outer panels for that body.
Smoke wrench, already looking good. Not so sure about the sandles though, I have enough burned toes from welding hots burning through sneakers
Looking forward to watching your work and skill sharing with this series. Really appreciated.
Very helpful thanks Wray
Can't wait to see this build!!!!
Ho yes !! Good stuff !! I hope will do my 4 day classe un the scout. !!
Hi Fred, yell this as loud as you can. "Canada let your citizens have freedom to travel".
Brilliant stuff as always Wray, I have been really enjoying your videos for a few months now, excellent content 👍 oh and outstanding wording on the back of your shirt 😂 thanks for sharing as always 👍
This will be an excellent series! I am struggling with a rusty trunk corner right now and I think I'm up to 9 pieces , all intersecting and interlocking and sandwiched together at the corner. It's getting there, lucky I have the other corner that is in better shape as a reference.
I think you have hit it out of the park with this series. I would be interested how much you paid for those. The reason being out here in the west, you can't touch a scout for less then $5k. and that would be an average shape. 1st gen Broncos, Blazers extra are just crazy. Look forward to the series. Cheers
Thanks for your teaching videos. I really enjoy them. When you are done, will you be selling them?
They are free on CZcams. I will be starting soon a Patreon video channel which will have a small monthly fee. I will have more detailed information in the videos made for Patreon. See my CZcams library of over 200 videos at: www.youtube/c/proshaper

Should be very interesting , this is the stuff I get to work on , old rusty steel , and not at all exotic .
How about doing the other in brushed stainless instead of alloy , like a DeLorean .
Looks like to me, metal is rust. LOL Anyway, I know that you feel that sand blasting is bad for the panel. I do not know exactly what abrasive is used when you say sand blasting. But someone told me that the rust can be removed by soda blasting. Using baking soda to remove the rust with out damaging the panel. What are your thoughts on soda blasting Wray? I love your videos because they remind me of the wonderful times that I had at your shop. I wish I lived closer. Say hello to Mark and Brian for me. Pete
Hi Pete, All blasting methods trap dust everywhere, it has a nasty habit of coming out of hibernation when you are painting. Phosphoric acid ( Naval Jelly) or Rust 911 goes into the pores of the metal and removes it all. I have tried every method they are the only methods I believe work the best.
Hope to see you again this year at the shop.
@@proshaper Thanks Wray!
This gives me anxiety. Not sure I'll ever get mine in good shape.
Food containers like yoghourt pots, jars, coffee cans and tofu trays can be useful (free) containers for fasteners and miscellaneous bits. (Though they don't stack as neatly as the trays.)
That left front fender looks as though it might be simpler to make a replacement than try to patch the numerous rusty bits. Which raises the question, how do you decide when you've crossed that boundary? (Assuming that you're working with a clear picture of decay, rather than being surprised later in the process.)
I will get to the doors soon.
Two problems with hoods. It's common no one lubes the hinges and it kinks the hood. And they put those hydraulic spring shocks on the middle of the hood to lift and do away with that bar that holds the hood up. This bows the the hood because of no support. Question is do you use a better hinge and modify supports for the shocks and the hinges or go back to stock? Thank you again for a great video. From Jaguars to International Scouts, now that is a leap. But it would be nice to know what is more profitable.
scout snobs lol
Torching with sandles😆
I like the thrill.
I’m sure they are safety sandles😁
and rust never sleeps....
Gday
I know that this video is a year old, but I'm binge watching. I have a '64 and '66 scout. But unfortunately your wrong. There is very little available for the scout 80/800. So I needed to find this.
Has anyone ever knurled an English wheel to put a non-slip surface? Like on boat fenders or running boards or steps.
What about the door restoration that was started a while ago? Did I miss it?
I will get back to the Jaguar door. I would like to get this Scout series started.
Do you have any left?
58 years of experience? You don't even look 58! (not that I "look" at you.....)
I turned 70 in April.
