Hey thanks for all the good words guys! Finishing this one up almost makes me want to tear into another Scout and build a topless rig. Another build, another day..... that front bumper is killer how did u make it. A lot of trial and error. Seriously though, it is just sheet plastic and some .100" Evergreen rod. I sketched out the basic design on a piece of paper, then went to town cutting out all the plates, usually more than once, and with a good amount of putty and sanding to finish it out. I used a Bic lighter to bend and shape the rod (more attempts than I would like to admit!) If you haven't seen it, I did post some in process pics of the bumper in my WIP thread up in the Scouts section. Thanks again everyone!

Thank you Darrin and John. I have to tell you again John, thanks for the tip you gave for the snatch hooks on the bumper, I never would have thought of adding them. They definitely improved the look and added more realism to it!

Awesome! I like how it appears mostly stock, with just a few purposeful mods.

Thanks Chuck! Yeah, I think she fits the daily driver/weekend warrior role pretty well.
