The most impressive ‘pound and pave’ treatment I’ve ever seen

[@clembob8004]

Wow, that is some really nice metal work! It's hard to believe how much bondo people will sometimes use to do a quick cheap fix, but now it's being done the right way.

You sir are a craftsman amazing work

I've got a 67 International step side I'm building. Parts are non existing. You can find most anything for a Scout. Mines an original Texas truck, a few whiskey dents but no rust. Straight 6 with a 3 speed 2 wheel drive

[@jamesblair9614]

That Uber thick chunk of Bondo will become something of a trophy, displayed on a shelf in the front of the shop. I say that assuming it’s the thickest piece you’ve ever seen, it’s the thickest I’ve ever seen! You got that dent hammered out quite nicely.

[@polaridoo1]

That slab of bondo looked like a foot long sub!

[@DanEBoyd]

You should've seen my old '68 Cougar. It looked good for a long time.

[@renchjeep]

Damn nice job! That old thick metal sure comes back much better than the cheap new thin crap! Nicely done, Kiwi!

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

It's certainly different to work with!!

[@drdiabeetus3061]

Haha! Someone decided to go from Body shop specialist to sculptor!

Great job good to see some one do some work most just talk about it lol😊

[@OllamhDrab]

Heehee. These Scouts are endearing but who knew any would still be around for that kind of restoration detail. :)

[@debluetailfly]

I wish we had vehicles like that now. About 1980, I knew a man who mounted an early or mid 50s Ford PU body on a Scout or Scout II chassis. I think he put a Ford 302 in it. It had 4WD and looked good. He sold it, and I wonder what ever happened to it. I just saw someone driving a Scout II a few days ago. I was in purty good shape.

[@richardoswalt1009]

I've never seen that much bondo ,crazy, very good job pulling that dent..

[@randomoldguy3967]

I had a 76 Scout II when I was a senior in high school in 1992. It had a 345 automatic and was a beast! My dad let my cousin borrow it while I was in basic training and he rolled it. It was destroyed unfortunately.

[@fredglidden8942]

Nice to see one of these in good shape. My Dad and I had a body shop in the 1970s near the ocean, there was an International Dealer near us and these were used on the beach from when they were new. We saw a lot of these that were completely rotted when they were just a few years old.

[@bluejacketsfan60]

Damn fine bodywork on that prior sin someone else did! If it was from where I'm from the road salt would have rotted that thing to nothing years ago - nice to see there's one still in that good of shape around! Great video Kiwi!👍

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

Cheers mate!!

[@billyduffany3387]

I knew someone that did body work like that. He didn't pull any dents out; he just filled them. Granted most of the work he did was for used car dealers, so they only cared if it looked good till they sold the cars. Kiwi does an amazing job with pulling dents.

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

[@glennnickerson8438]

Not bad for a Scout Kiwi! Up here in the Northeast they became extinct decades ago! My brother picked one up 30 + yrs ago and him and his buddies would hang out in it (wasn't running) and drink beer in it. The empties would fall out of the quarters!

[@TAVOAu]

Nice work as always. When I get them close, like at 15:30, I give it a mist coat of primer to get that 'one colour' effect. I find the grinder/sander marks still hide some detail.

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

A guide coat of sorts. 👍😎

I noticed most of the hardware underneath has been torque striped. The owner either has a really thorough mechanic or maybe the owner is the thorough mechanic.. Nice work to Kiwi and the owner.

Head out towards the 'floating mountain' out at the Bonneville Salt Flats.... they got stuck in the salt bog/swamp years ago. By the time the tow trucks got to em they were sunk up to the steering wheel... after about 2 months you could see the roofs still ! Anyway... still out there.... somewhere....

Love these old trucks. My dad used have an old Scout II. Wish he had kept it. That was a wild amount of filler on the corners. That driver's side must have been 2" thick. The amount of time to do that you might as well try and fix the dent with metal or shape it back. Surprised it didn't fall off on some bumpy trail haha.

I had a 1977 Scout II years ago. Had a 304 and a GM TH400 auto. What I loved most about it was the turn radius, they turn tighter than a lawn tractor. Heavy, and waaay too low to the ground for any sort of real off roading. They really need a spring over axle conversion.

IHC trucks run forever but they rusted like crazy just like many other 1960s and 1970s vehicles, only more so since many of them were used in road salt-heavy environs. Rare to find one without panels and tailgates all corroded. Bondo was put on with a trowel. Nice vehicle to restore at the right price.

[@fishgeralding9224]

Looking on the positive side, probably a good thing they filled it with plastic. They'd have probably stretched the shit out of the metal had they tried to straighten it themselves. My compliments on your metal straightening techniques! 👍
