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!

front


side


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)

Dude You can easily spray several LIGHT coats of clear gloss over the flat black. Base Coat Clear Coat... They do look cool.

i bought 2 of these

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)
