Painter Discussion: The Plan Before Paint

The Scout has officially arrived at Tony’s shop, and before any bodywork or paint begins, we discuss the plan. In this episode, Tony shares his first assessment of our 1965 International Scout 80, including what impressed him, areas that need attention, and how he intends to preserve as much originality as possible during the restoration. One of the goals of this project has always been to preserve the character and history of this Scout while returning it to the condition it deserves. Tony’s evaluation confirms what we’ve hoped all along—this Scout remains an incredibly solid foundation for restoration. Join us as we discuss the condition of the body, the paint strategy, and the decisions that will shape the next chapter of this project. Thanks for following along as we Preserve • Protect • Restore this 1965 International Scout. #InternationalScout #Scout80 #ScoutHeritageGarage #Classic4x4 #Vintage4x4 #InternationalHarvester #AutoRestoration #ClassicTruck #Bodywork #PaintAndBody
