"Quicksilver" Retro-Future Scooter from appliances and scrap metal

Step 3 The "nose"

Once I had decided on the what the major panels were going to be made out of, I removed the paint and passed the metal over the buffing wheel for a while to shine it up. If I wanted to get anywhere I had to start making some commitments, so I dove into the front end which I still feel looks a bit "nosey". I had already mounted the street lamp cover to the front, but it needed a vent to allow air to reach the radiator. An ancient space heater gave up its grill to this end.
In order for the two halves of the front end to meet up, I had to cheat a little and fabricate big triangular patch panels out of aluminum sheet (it couldn't all be scrap).
