Out Of Gas.

I grabbed about 15 minutes while I was on grill duty this evening to pull the faceplate off the dashboard and swap out the amp/gas gauge with the spare I’ve got in my bins. Unfortunately, it didn’t read anything from the tank. The backlight and amp gauge work in both units, so I’m going to officially say it’s the wiring, which means I’ve got to run a new hot wire from the tank up to the bulkhead.

Meanwhile, Brian H. took delivery of his Wagonmaster today, and will be selling his red Scout to make room for the new acquisition. Pretty, isn’t it?

I also got an email from my friend in Wheaton, who mentioned he’d been up to Crazy Ray’s in Mt. Airy to look around, and found a Scout II that hadn’t been picked over much. Because they were already in the area, I let Brian and Bennett know, and they made a trip up to look it over. Apparently there wasn’t much left of the body, but they pulled some engine parts and left the rest for the crusher.
