I picked up a 1964 ford car front bumper I think im going to section and cut down to fit my lowered scout front end. It's nearly 18 inches too wide 😆 lol

 

No time now, have to stick with what I’ve got already. Haha

 

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 really like this build

 

thank you

 

decided to weld the front solid and make a 1 piece front end

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.

 

This is cool.

 

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

 

thank you, im tryin....



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..
