  • [ ENGINE REVS ]

  • ♪♪

  • Richard: WHEN I FIRST HAD THE BIG IDEA TO TURN

  • A 1979 INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER SCOUT

  • INTO A ONE-OF-A-KIND SCOUT TO HELL,

  • IT WAS AMBITIOUS, TO SAY THE LEAST.

  • ♪♪

  • I LOVE THE INTERIOR.

  • Brian: YEAH. IF THIS THING HAS ONE THING GOING FOR IT,

  • IT'S THE CURB APPEAL.

  • THE ORANGE PAINT, THE STRIPES -- IT'S PRETTY COOL.

  • WHEN BASS AND I WENT TO SEE THE SCOUT, I WAS LIKE,

  • "I CAN FLIP THIS RIGHT NOW, AND MAKE SOME QUICK CASH."

  • BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? I LIKE TO MAKE A LOT OF CASH,

  • AND I WAS THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX.

  • ♪♪

  • SO, I PAID $12,500 FOR THE SCOUT.

  • I GAVE THE MONKEYS A $75,000 BUDGET,

  • BUT A TIMELINE OF ONLY THREE WEEKS TO GET IT FINISHED.

  • SO, YOU'RE NOT GOING UP. YOU WANT TO GO DOWN WITH THIS.

  • I WANT TO GET RID OF THE FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE.

  • BIG MEAT IN THE BACK.

  • WHEN I GOT THE SCOUT IN FRONT OF THE MONKEYS,

  • THEY DIDN'T REALLY UNDERSTAND MY PLAN.

  • HEY, CALIFORNIA CRUISING, PRO TOURING, WHATEVER YOU CALL IT.

  • YOU KNOW WHAT? IT DOESN'T EXIST, BUDDY!

  • I WAS THINKING LOW AND LEAN, AND A BOULEVARD CRUISER

  • THAT COULD LOOK COOL, BUT ALSO GO TO THE DRAG STRIP.

  • SO, MY VISION FOR THE SCOUT'S A RISKY ONE

  • BECAUSE IT'S NEVER BEEN DONE.

  • WE HAVE A MOTOR.

  • -DUDE, TOOK UP THE WHOLE CRATE. -NICE.

  • NOW, AS FAR AS I KNOW, NO ONE IN THE WORLD

  • HAS EVER PUT A HELLCRATE ENGINE INTO A SCOUT.

  • SO, THAT'S 707 HORSEPOWER RIPPING DOWN THE BOULEVARD.

  • TO KEEP THIS CAR COOLED DOWN, WE WENT TO RON DAVIS RADIATOR.

  • THAT ENGINE SUCKS A LOT OF GAS,

  • AND YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE A GOOD FUEL SYSTEM

  • PUSHING IT IN. AND THAT IS AEROMOTIVE.

  • WHEN IT CAME TO STOPPING ON 707 HORSEPOWER,

  • WILWOOD BRAKES DID THE JOB.

  • ♪♪

  • FOR THE SUSPENSION, WE DEFINITELY NEEDED TO GO

  • WITH CHRIS ALSTON'S CHASSISWORKS,

  • AND WE SLAMMED IT FRONT AND BACK,

  • ALONG WITH A FOUR-LINK, COILOVERS ALL THE WAY AROUND.

  • AND WHEN IT CAME TO THE WHEELS, THESE ARE ONE-OFF,

  • ONE-OF-A-KIND, DESIGNED BY US,

  • AND MADE BY REVO FORGED WHEELS.

  • WHEN IT CAME TO THE INTERIOR, I REALLY WANTED TO STAY

  • WITH SOME OF THE ORIGINAL APPOINTMENTS,

  • ESPECIALLY THE PLAID.

  • KIND OF TIPPED THE HAT TO WHAT THEY DID BACK IN THE '70s.

  • AND TO KEEP THE INSIDE COOLED DOWN, WE WENT TO VINTAGE AIR.

  • NOW, WHEN YOU'RE BUILDING A CAR WITH THIS MUCH HORSEPOWER,

  • YOU THINK, "WELL, MAYBE WE NEED TO TAKE THE TOP PERMANENT."

  • ABSOLUTELY NOT.

  • THIS THING'S A CONVERTIBLE, AND IT'S STAYING A CONVERTIBLE.

  • AS FAR AS PAINT GOES, THERE WAS NO QUESTION IN MY MIND --

  • KEEP IT ORANGE, DO THE FACTORY STRIPES,

  • JUST BEEF IT UP A LITTLE BIT, AND MAKE IT POP.

  • SO, WE GOT IT ALL DONE UP.

  • NOW, ALL I GOT TO DO IS FIND A BUYER WITH A TON OF CASH,

  • AND HOPEFULLY, I CAN SELL THIS SCOUT

  • FOR SOMETHING NORTH OF 200 GRAND.
