The Bahamas

On the 20th -23rd of October we flew the Piaggio from KCRQ to KORL (Carlsbad Ca. to Orlando Fla.) and then to the Bahamas. We went over at 41000 feet and we had an average ground speed of 392Kts. It took us 4 hours and 15 min to get there.

Day 2 Project Iron Wolf

Welcome to another day of Project Iron Wolf. Today is Saturday 10 Nov, 2007. I picked up Iron Wolf yesterday.
As you can see the inside is pretty much a crap hole. The battery and the gas tank are not where they belong.

The dash has been disassembled for me. and the A/C looks a little sad.

I did find out the engine is a V345. Yea!!! after removing a few years of oil I was able to find the engine size stamped into the block. Soon I will have the engine out and the rebuild will began.

After a days work cleaning all the crap out, the inside is now clean. Still no rust.

The interior is cleaned out. Its time to start pulling the muffler, drive shaft, and transfer case out. Then I will be ready to remove the engine. I found the biggest black widow in the engine compartment when I was digging through the wires. His body was as big as my thumb. I grabbed a can of raid and sprayed in every hole inside and out. Came back twenty min. later and there were five black widows dying hanging on their webs. I'm glad I did that. I would hate to get bit. See you next time.

WINNER!!! YOU ARE THE WINNING BIDDER ON EBAY.
Welcome to Project Iron Wolf. I won this truck on EBay for $200.
I'm here in Las Vegas Nevada picking up my prize. It is a 1972 International Scout II.

It is a stock truck for now. It has no lift and has 31" tires. The engine is a v8 and I hope it is a V345. I will have to wait till I get it back to Utah and find out what the actual size is.

The front and rear breaks are drum. The front axle is a Dana 30 and the rear is a Dana 44. Soon project Iron Wolf will have a 7" suspension lift, 3" body lift, Disk breaks all around, 36" tires, new paint, new interior, and a rebuilt engine.

The body is in perfect condition. No Rust! The trade off is does not run. I will have to tow it back to Utah. The two hour ride back is well worth it.
