ConfederaSears RatRod Dynamark [2018 Build-Off Entry]

My first time entering the build off! This is the start to my rat rod dynamark wide body 11/36.
Right now it is just a frame, front axle and transaxle.
I am going to put the 16.5hp command pictured onto it and the peerless 700 5speed gear box.
It is going to be lowered with a live axle, front axle will be custom made and mounted so it sits around 2in off the ground.
Im going to cut up the pictured wheel barrow and mount it for a seat bucket.
I have some 2nd gen craftsman steering that i have to pull still and swap into it.
I am also going to custom paint it, red with black accents.
Im still undecided on the tires that i want to run.
Im going to run a disk brake on the rear live axle for my brakes.
Im going to gear it for around 35-45mph so i can run it down the road.
I plan to run the stock hood.
Im goint to rewire the whole tractor from scratch with a switch panel for all the lights, i have some red underglow for the fenders and i have white underglow i want to mount under the hood.
I also plan to do a custom intake and carb, also a straight pipe side exit exhaust.
Im goint to cut the frame up to compensate for some work that needs done, then brace it with square tube.
Since i plan to go pretty fast with this build i want it as safe as possible, which is why im making a heavy duty wider front axle, the disk brakes, and a good steering set up.

Thanks Dave!

I haven't gotten the pictures from my phone to my computer yet, but so far i have this done. (not much but its some lol)
Engine and trans mounted.
Wheel barrow cut up and mocked up.
Some other body and frame work has been done, still trying to decide if i want to make a custom cover for the 700 or just cut up the stock trans tunnel.
Saving up right now and going to by my live axle, bearings, and some metal to make the live axle mounted and begin making my custom front axle and swapping in 2nd gen craftsman steering.

Good luck!

@Double W Cross Ranch Thanks!

As of right now i have no motivation to take on a big project like this. I turn 16 in 4 months so im just working on my truck to get it road ready, and as of late i dont have the fund for tires, axle, ect for the dynamark. I may finish i may not. Right now im just doing a cheap throw together project with stuff i have laying around but its not fancy enough to enter.

The urge to work on this thing is high. Ill have my truck done by august and a job by september. Then its going to be a rush to get this thing going before the contest closes. Till i get a job ill probably be selling other mowers and parts to fund it and get some parts coming in. Ill get it in the garage tomorrow and start on the wheel barrow mounting, trans tunnel, take the front axle off and see if i can get the front lowered.

Excited to see progress on this one. I'm looking forward to see how you incorporate the wheelbara tub into the mower, should look good when shes done!

Ooh, I'm looking forward to seeing more work on this rig!

Thanks guys im really hoping i get it done. I got a paint plan, gonna do it the same colors as my bronco so i can load it up on a trailer and roll up to car shows with color matched everything. Listing up some parts right now to make some money to hopefully buy the live axle and bearings.

I understand... I will go ahead and throw a delay tag on it, just in case!
