Well the show I want to take the scout to for the first time is coming up.
December 7th. So much to do before that date, but, if I can get it on and off the trailer then I'm happy. I really wanted to drive it there, but there is still so much needing done.
My goal is to get it there to the show, lay it out, and enjoy some margaritas and tacos..
The windshield is supposed to be done ‘by the weekend’..not sure what that means, but fingers crossed.
Ugh still so much more to do..

Just got this beautiful 1942 Cadillac rear bumper dropped off. I think I can make it work for the rear of the scout. I didn’t need this extra work, but, the front bumper is coming out so good looking, I might as well adapt a bumper to the rear end as well..

Maybe flip it over and trim the bottom of the cab to be flush?

that is a good idea
the 'picture' is just a hand drawn image, its not the real scout body
Ill get a few real pictures later today when i weld the bumper back together as it is in 2 piece in the picture above.
then i'll try to get it positioned closer to the body and not photoshopped so i can actually see it.
also, not one single person will be laying on the ground lookin at it straight on like the picture i drew above. So you have to take that into consideration, the height of the bumper is like 2 inches off the ground..
