Yep, still doesn't works...

Pity, because it was a video of Red Green showing how to make a top-fuel dragster out of an aluminum ladder, a power mower, a chair with no legs and a kid's bicycle.

If any other Red Green fans can find this and post it, that would be terrific!Bow Down

Sorry about the non-functioning link. I edited and edited but it won't cooperate, at least not at my end.

Brizio---ha hah hahahahah!!! You make me laugh--in a good way, for sure! Your creativity and imagination is one of our biggest modeling assets! Bow Down

BRAVO! What a fun, cool little project! It looks EXCELLENT!

You'd have to stop for gas every two rotations around the yard though, lol!

This is really a great little build! Toast

Safety, I was referring a the stickers Danger on the side. I don't want nobody are injured by fly grass or rocks... :)

In the second pics you can see also (on the top left under the shift lever), a chrome lever, that one is for release the brake if it is pushed. :)

Superb detailing...I especially like the fine detail on the handle (including the cable ) and the shark mouth on front.

CoolYes

I    agree! Good stuff to point out--the details really do make it.

Now,how much to get my lawn mowed?

 I bet you could get alot of them done pretty quick with that baby!  Stick out tongue

If I may suggest,

Google Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, check the stuff he made and look at the way he proportioned the individual parts in his creations-especially the small vehicles..

here's one site on his cars.

http://www.mrgasser.com/showcars.htm

You may also obtain ideas from similar designers who created some of the re-issue 1960s show vehicles.

That may give you better inspiration than anything else..

Here a mock up with the engine. The engine could be build in 3 way, stock, custom and competition. The competition one has a blower.
So I though this is a crazy idea to put a V8 on a lawn mower, so why don't make a good crazy job using a blower... And after, I remember that I saw a engine with two blowers, so two it is better than one, and I went in this directions... :D

Let me know what you think... :)
