Description So this one is mainly for Paul's benefit (a.k.a Colts4us) since I mentioned my husbands pet project in one of his submissions. This was taken right after my husband painted it. It is a fully finished rig now and does awsome out in the mud and snow. I believe it's a 1972 or maybe a 76 International Scout. Not the best picture I know

It took him about three years to finish this rig. It obviously looks nothing like it did when we brought it home. The paint on it is actually a type of bedliner paint. He's already put quite a few dents in the rig but you can't tell really because of the paint.

We've always had Jeeps before this but the wheel base was just too narrow for how my husband drives. Next time he brings it out of the shop I'll have to get a more current shot of it (it's got doors on it and the bead locked tires look pretty fierce). I have yet to go wheelin with him in it but we're taking it to the dunes in May so that should be fun. He says that it handles great and he'll never go back to the Jeep again...lol

That's a really cool ride! He needs to put big tires on it.
