International Scout
Our channel focuses more on coachbuilding than restoration, well we've decided to pivot! Wray has a small collection of International Scouts at the shop. His idea is to show the restoration process from start to finish. At times we will compare restoration using a patch panel vs a complete rebuild of a panel from a piece of sheet metal. Our goal is to bring more awareness to the metal shaping craft, to try and keep it alive.

hi it's ray from pro shaper workshop in
0:02
child massachusetts
0:04
we're practicing my golf swing
0:07
wish i had a golf club i'd love to do a
0:09
golf video but i don't do golf
0:12
i do that stuff in the building there
0:14
we'll show you some some of the new
0:15
stuff we're doing it's a scout
0:18
we love it scout two
0:21
love those two scout two
0:24
traveler scout 800 1967
0:28
scout 800 1966
0:32
we love scouts i'd open the door but i
0:36
can't
0:37
it's been welded shut these i believe
0:40
where we're gonna go with our youtube
0:42
channel
0:43
is to focus a little bit more on all the
0:46
issues that restorers have
0:48
i chose the scouts because scouts can
0:51
still be bought
0:52
at a reasonable amount of money you
0:54
don't it's not like buying a 356 porsche
0:57
rust bucket if you buy a 356
0:59
porsche rust bucket it's going to still
1:02
cost you
1:03
10 15 20 30 000 depending on the model
1:07
you buy
1:08
and you have to replace just about
1:09
everything you have to build the whole
1:11
car
1:12
and we're probably going to have to do
1:13
you know a lot of patch panel work on
1:15
this
1:16
and a lot of the inner structure the
1:17
inner structure is really bad
1:19
so that's what we're going to focus the
1:21
channel on probably about 70 percent
1:23
restoration issues rust look at his side
1:26
view
1:29
[Applause]
1:36
uh oh look at the inside
1:40
[Applause]
1:46
let's look at the other scouts it's got
1:48
a v8 in it the other one
1:49
only had a little four cylinder in it
1:51
it's half a v8 rusted
1:55
man it's got rust this is their long
1:57
wheelbase 118 inch wheelbase
2:00
it's uh the scout 2 format this is where
2:03
they loaded them up it's got the 345 v8
2:06
in it it's got air conditioning cruise
2:09
control
2:10
all the bells and whistles i think they
2:12
sold for about eleven thousand dollars
2:14
when they're brand new
2:16
which was a lot of money for a scout
2:17
originally they sold only for almost
2:19
sixteen hundred bucks
2:21
this one is rotted really severely right
2:25
here
2:26
and because there's no roof this is a
2:27
fiberglass pop-on roof
2:30
the body just tipped like this that's
2:33
why the doors are all hanging down
2:35
but the body panels actually aren't too
2:37
bad but the inner structure is all gone
2:39
so that's all got to be addressed
2:42
let's see some more stuff so this is a
2:44
scout
2:45
66 800 model to me
2:48
it's probably the one of the best
2:50
looking scouts i think they're all
2:52
good-looking
2:53
iconic design and
2:56
this is a great candidate for
2:58
restoration videos
3:00
so you can see the fenders which are
3:02
pretty simple they just got a roll here
3:04
and then they have a flare here
3:06
and this one's got some dent damage it's
3:09
rusted really bad so what do you do
3:11
do you replace this or do you repair it
3:14
we look at the other side
3:16
pretty much the same thing the fenders
3:19
on the other one inside the shop
3:21
are pretty decent so one of the first
3:23
things you face
3:24
is making sure you have the information
3:27
well i can get the surface information
3:29
off of this to fix it
3:30
but i do have the backup of having the
3:32
other car there
3:34
this is really where my passion is right
3:36
now
3:37
and i think that people will appreciate
3:39
the content focusing on
3:41
restoration issues because that's what
3:43
most people are doing we're going to
3:44
take
3:45
one of these fenders off and
3:48
we will de-rust it showing some of my
3:50
de-rusting methods that i've got a video
3:52
on
3:53
and we're going to start making patch
3:55
panels
3:56
and we'll show what's involved in
3:59
repairing a fender like this
4:01
so we'll repair this one but this side
4:05
[Applause]
4:07
this is a little worse than the other
4:09
side this side instead of repairing
4:12
we'll make it all brand new now we can
4:15
make this brand new
4:16
in steel which would be original same
4:19
thickness metal to probably use 19 gauge
4:22
to build these with
4:23
we'll do that but i also want to make an
4:26
all all-aluminum scout so i'm going to
4:29
make a steel fender and an aluminum
4:31
fender
4:32
and eventually i'll make all the pots
4:33
for the aluminum one and i'll make an
4:35
all-aluminum scout
4:37
so i feel this is the direction the
4:39
pro-shaper workshop has to go in
4:42
and we also have a volkswagen
4:44
convertible that's a 1970 volkswagen
4:46
convertible that needs a lot of patch
4:48
panels put on it
4:50
and those we bought the patch panels
4:52
we're going to be showing how to put
4:53
those patch panels on
4:54
so we've got some really good channel
4:57
content coming up
4:58
we'll still be doing some coach building
5:00
stuff from the class and everything
5:02
but i do have some incredible projects
5:05
that are
5:06
all lined up with customers and
5:10
we'll be building scratch building a
5:11
couple other cars
5:13
and for that stuff we're going to have
5:15
we mentioned it before we're going to do
5:17
the
5:18
patreon channel it'll be a monthly fee
5:20
probably like five dollars
5:22
and you'll get to see what we're doing
5:24
as far as coach building
5:25
all right so i hope i gave you a good
5:27
idea where we're going to go with the
5:28
channel
