Suggestions for interior? Wheels/tires?

Re: Project Gen 8 bikini top
 

Id like more information on the interior insert as well as the slider trays and center skid. Is the interior insert something that could be used with the full body, or just top cut off application?

Re: Project Gen 8 bikini top
 

The interior will work with the full body!

We got to run it yesterday and it was beyond all expectations. Everything on the vehicle is box stock.

Here is the run video. I’ll shoot s build video tonight explaining everything.

I watched it already this morning. The color is on point and it looks amazing. The dash and door panels look great. You used an idea I had been contemplating for tonneau cover. I actually scored myself a destroyed 1:1 to use the fabric on several builds for truck bed covers and soft tops. I hadn't considered taking the Gen 8 topless just yet, but after seeing yours, it looks amazing. Will you be making the interior available to others? I would be very interested in some of what you have going on. Also noticed modified battery mount, I assume the full interior wouldn't work with the center mounted battery?

Cool video! Love how the Scout looks with the top off. Great job.

Can't wait to see more.

Looks like you used a 67-72 chevy dash? Looks pretty close besides the gages are round instead of square. Looks great.

Re: Project Gen 8 bikini top
 

Thank you for fixing the wheel arches it looks so much better
Theres nothing like driving a scout with the top off i do it when ever i can
i need to fix that rig i started a diesel engine swap then i had heath issues and never finished it but now that life is more stable im gona get back on it maybe this summer lol

Re: Project Gen 8 bikini top
 

That is awesome! Nice job!

The interior video and chassis videos are coming out today!!

Topless is a big undertaking since the whole lexan will need structure. The build cost $10 in materials but the wife is not happy we cut up her crappy vinyl handbag.

Bikini top is coming too. And a full roof body can be bolted on to this interior.

Yes, will only work with the modded battery tray and only small battery if we want the foreword battery position

A convertible diesel scout came to my house a month ago $100k restoration. Pics coming.

The dash decals came from the Proline interior kit we almost used.

Wow that looks great for stickers. I really like it.

I had a 1979 when I was younger and my dad had a scout and truck. I have never seen a super scout. Around here there wasn't many. They were usually the pickups.

As for the side panels, I am working on a set for my 3D printed scout body that I am sure could easily be converted to fit the redcat. Hoping to get them finished in the next couple of weeks.

Re: Project Gen 8 bikini top
 

I cant wait to see those door inserts
