Well I got my ride and look forward to driving it around town... when I am finaly done with my resto.. I am currently debating on what stratagy to take on it right now..
1. Strip all of the gauges and stuff that is in it and get the body work done
Pro - it will be easier to focus on the cosmetics without all of the gadgetry in the way
Con - I can't get it out of the garage for the times that my Jeep decideds that it needs some "Assistance"
2. Get the beast mechanically sound and then do the cosmetics around the moving hulk
Pro/Con same as above but reversed..
What way do you say is the best to go?
Anyhow I am stoked.. unfortunately every time I walk by the scout I notice something else that I will have to do.. not that I am surprised by this just reminds me how much work I have ahead of me..
Here is the short list that I have so far - I know I am kinda Anal but it always helps me stay motivated when I can check off on a list something that I have completed... instead of staying Daunted with all of the things that are still left
