In this episode, we reach a major milestone in our 1975 International Scout II restomod. After completing the rolling chassis last year, the Scout returns from Custom Scouts in Canada with a fully transformed body—featuring all-new metal, corrected structure, and reworked panels designed to preserve the Scout’s original body lines while setting the foundation for a modern, trail-ready build.
We break down the extensive metalwork completed by Custom Scouts, highlight the replacement body panels from EJ Classics, and walk through how this phase sets the stage for final chassis systems, paint, and interior as we build toward a full reveal at the 2026 SEMA Show.
This isn’t the finish line—it’s a critical chapter in bringing this classic Scout back to life the right way.
