Y'all probably know my friend Bob by now. He can't build models anymore because of Parkinsons so I build them for him. He gave me free rein on this International Harvester Scout 4x4. It is a vehicle from his childhood, but doesn't remember much about it except his daddy had one, so he is fine with whatever I do to it.

I made a new distributor:

That is it so far. I need to get everything into the spray booth for priming.
