The Scout Club LA is the brainchild of Martin Agnew and Fabiano Iha, two individuals who developed a strong friendship based on their shared passion for rebuilding and customizing classic vehicles. Their journey began as they trained in Jiu-jitsu together, discovering their mutual love for cars and the art of restoration.
Over the course of a few years, they became deeply involved in their respective projects, filling their driveways and garages with various car parts and vehicles they were working on. Despite their different backgrounds—Martin hailing from the Midwest, where he grew up fixing cars on the family farm, and Fabiano having built his own gas station and retro-fitting shop in Brazil—they found common ground in their love for customizing classics.
Inspired by the California lifestyle and their collective expertise, they set out on a mission to revive the lost brand of International Scouts. They aimed to infuse these vehicles with a California vibe, while incorporating their own creative touches and innovations. Along their journey, they encountered cars and trucks that ignited their creativity, further fueling their desire to bring these unique masterpieces to the world.
The ultimate goal of the Scout Club LA is to create automotive works of art that resonate with people who share the same deep appreciation for these vehicles. Martin and Fabiano derive immense joy from the process of building and creating. heir true passion lies in crafting vehicles that they can release into the world for others to admire and enjoy.
They welcome individuals who want to contribute to the creative side of customizing their own Scouts, offering them the opportunity to collaborate and bring their unique visions to life. With Martin and Fabiano’s expertise and dedication, the Scout Club LA aims to be a haven for automotive enthusiasts and a hub of innovation in the world of classic vehicle customization.
