Title: boxes are done
Post by: Dark13 on April 14, 2010, 09:30:22 PM: (http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k73/dark13_photo/0414101643.jpg)
view from the front

and one from the side

(http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k73/dark13_photo/0414101646a.jpg)
we used 3 clamps on each side and one on the back

to keep the boxes spaced apart we drilled 2 matching holes in each box ran a bolt through each one and put a nut a 2 washers between them

now i just have to mount locks and paint them but that will be after Friday

now for the paint job should i make them all blue all black or make them blue and black split diagonal

I think the diag. paint scheme would blend in w/ the style of the scoot best. Sort of continue the lines as it were. Definitely Impressed! Just looked again, The brake light might not be visable to an SUV, or taller truck. You may want to look at that yourself. Post back w/ the paint. Another after thought...One for light beer, and one for Imports! Now I LOVE IT!!!

Post by: zombie on April 15, 2010, 03:00:57 AM: No Doubt! W/ the boxes installed you don't have to worry about the "skunk stripe". You could make a cool little bracket to hang the tag from under the boxes.

locks are done and tougher than i would have thought
Title: Re: now i just have to paint them
Post by: zombie on April 24, 2010, 01:47:30 AM: Locks for the boxes? I would put the scoot on skateboards, just to see what was in the locked boxes! I'm from New York tho! I don't see any beer cans, Thats a plus!

lids

overall I'm happy with it but i may end up painting the lids in a metallic black instead of flat

and i may add decals down the road

(p.s. the lids aren't completely dry)

Post by: zombie on May 06, 2010, 02:16:16 AM: Dude You can easily spray several LIGHT coats of clear gloss over the flat black. Base Coat Clear Coat... They do look cool.

Title: Re: boxes are done
Post by: Dark13 on May 06, 2010, 11:32:10 AM: i bought 2 of these

http://www.tractorsupply.com/home-improvement/hardware/door-hardware/other-door-hardware/keyed-hasp-lock-3516571 (http://www.tractorsupply.com/home-improvement/hardware/door-hardware/other-door-hardware/keyed-hasp-lock-3516571)

and i just cut the hole in the latches on the boxes big enough for the lock from the hasp to fit then i bolted the lock to the box using washers to give it enough clearance so i could turn the locks

all in all it cost me about $40 (counting the cost of the boxes but not counting the paint) and took around 4 - 5 hours of work

out of pocket the hole thing cost me about $35 ($15 for the locks $20 for the paint could have gotten out cheaper but i really wanted metallic blue paint)
