This is the final look... I got some glue around the scoop I didn't like, so I redid the whole thing... I accidently messed up part of the white stripes, so I removed all the white tampoos and painted the area around the scoop black... It came very close a couple of times to getting the hammer and winding up in the trash can... So, this is the way it stays !!! From this: ![]() To this: ![]() ![]() All this messing around with this casting, and I just discovered the hood opens backwards !!! ![]()

Much better. I like it a lot. You do great work! The original reminds me of a pedal car my daughter had. LOL! Edited by Hosspower98, Oct 16 2012, 08:31 PM.

I like the changes you made to the old Scout. Looks like a worthy summer cruiser now. |

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

Looks amazing! And I have a lot of those "hammer customs" personally also. I'm glad this one didn't take that path though!
