You could be the first to do it!

Progress progress progress....

Finishing steering.




Cut out a dash and hole for the key, this is actually *sigh* MTD frame rail from my parts chassis... I still need to weld it on, but not sure if i should wait for making drilling holes easier for like the choke cable.



Mounting the hood wasnt to hard. made a heavy duty mount to act as a bumper maybe... whatever the case, it wont break. Pin slides through, bolt holds it.


And for the viewing pleasure...






How do you like that cut hood thunder? lol

Yea I like the stance a lot. I actually cut about 8" off the hood. Went pretty smooth.

holy crap that looks nice like the web in the hood

It does look really good, makes me wanna build a speed mower...

bad@$$

Thanks guys. Coming up with exhaust ideas right now, so hopefully that gets done soon.

looks good man

I can picture slow motion tire spinning donut action. Possible with all that weight on the rear wheels? Probably not, but I can still imagine it.

I think it might, redzz02 on YouTube, his video "mower from hell" spins donuts and squeals the tires. I'm not sure, it might with then skinny tires.

Hmm, so it does, I would have expected it to pick the front end up first.

if you get em started on some dirt then they should keep spinning on the concrete, but if its just bare and dry asphault. might not break loose. well have to see lol

it either will or do a backflip one. lol

Yea well have to see. Almost done with exhaust, ill post pics when its completely finished.

How short are they lol

I havnt checked, probably around 12" long

That should be alright

I'm using 1" pipe with a 1 1/4" tip, you'll see when I'm done with it, I talked to a few racing mower guys and they say you can run them super short, it just hurts performance because the air is trying to suck back in.

Yea 1" is good, the clue is smaller pipe more velocity but theres a fine line. Doesn't matter realy we got plenty of Horse Power to burn
