Today, slightly hung over, i wet sanded the window frame and sprayed the base/clear onto it.
Tomorrow I'll drop it off for the flush mounted glass to get cut and installed.

The color is a tri-stage, grey base, violet pearl and then clear.

I had planned on gold pearl, but i didnt have any when i thought i did. So i grabbed the violet to see how it looks.

Now that this window frame is completed, i can get back to fabrication...

Here is the bumper shortened to fit the scout. I have not shortened the sides of the bumper asi can't really do that until i assemble the front end to see how far I want it to go onto the fender..



I had to 'strgihten' out the bumper as it was more V shaped then it looked.



Came out pretty good though.



I am not sure if i am going to weld up the bolt holes, or use them..

I know this next picture will almost make no sense until I post a better one..

but I cut the front 5 inches off a hood and welded it to the front end and welded the left and right fenders to the front panel, or core support we will call it.

This will make it into a 1-piece front end, and I am now forced to making a hood that will fit.

I always wanted to do this anyways, as the original scout hoods fit really weird, and I never liked it.

I looked at the picture and realized immediately what you were doing. I just leaned my head to the left and it looked perfect.

sat the frotn end onto the body and propped up the bumper to see how much i have to cut out of the sides of the bumper.

Thought this pic looked cool with the scout between the other cars.

Little more trimming to the bumper..

i need to fab up brackets now to hold the bumper to the frame so i can make final cuts and adjustments on the bumper to fit the fender well openings and body lines better
