Doc's Diesel Weasel Mini Ratrod Mow-Kart! [2016 Build-Off Winner]

Looks good. Seems to work pretty well also.

Just a wee little mini-update here-

The last couple required parts have arrived and been istalled. All I need now is a decent day when Amy and I are both off work, so I can film the reveal video.

The Weasel is 100% complete and is a riot to drive.

The forecast says Saturday is supposed to be fairly good, so we're looking at Saturday evening video.

We're all praying for good weather for you! We want to see the final product!

The text editor saves unfinished posts now, so if you hit Back after posting a message it pulls the text back up.

Nope. Steel trunk.

I can't catch myself. I'm too fast. LOL- I had a fire extinguisher on board for the flame shots.

Really nice job Doc! I love the mower hood on the front. It's gonna be a tough vote this year!

Some Weasel porn for y'all:

And... A bit of gravy off the video.

Do you have a garbage looking industrial park nearby? That would be a great spot for glamour shots.

Neat idea- I'll have to put some thought into that.

You never mentioned it, but what for fuel is used for the flamethrower? You gotta do a vid on it!

Gasoline. The NOS tank is the fuel tank for the flamethrower. I tried really hard to find a tank that I could hide under the hood- no luck. So, I figured the next best bet was to disguise it as something else. So, I fabbed the tank out of a disposable propane cylinder, painted it blue, and ordered a NOS sticker online.
