Nancy Kroes' Scotty 7 - a 1959 Rear Door Scotty Rebuild

Finally! I've wanted one of these since I saw Kevin Helwig's in Arkansas in 2006. Bought it sight unseen over the telephone for $800. Price is high for the condition - total rebuild - but I gladly paid it because these come along very seldom.


Side skin pulling away - will be strapping it together for its ride back to MI


Doesn't have the teardrop wheel cut-out


This side isn't bad


Hope I can find a bumper for it! I have one off my old VW - maybe it will fit.


Wow, it has a screen door. I wasn't expecting that!


Close-up of the front damage


Yup - its rotted all right!


Some odd screw holes back here.


Not the logo I'd expect to see on a '59


Looks like my dad will be busy with his welder again.
Needs a new coupler and a tongue jack.


Skin not bad - window looks good


Window looks good


This window looks good too


Roof doesn't look too bad


Round taillights - appear to be original


Look original - not seeing any teardrop shape light signs


Floor looks solid - around door not too bad


Looks like it had a dinette in front - that's a surprise was expecting a couch


Lots of rot here


Still has kitchen components although missing the icebox


Oh my - wiring looks like a disaster waiting to happen
