[cl[cl[cl[cl[cl[cl Wow. I gotta' admit, I read through your whole thread about a week ago and LOVE your ride but was kind of disappointed that you repainted it black with the flames. I liked the red with black scallops but this is beautiful. Bravo!

Amazed at the sheer awesomeness or ridiculousness? I'll be the first to admit this is kind of silly. When I tell people about my "ratrod mower" I usually try to finish with "Yeah, it's retarded." :D

Yeah, prett sorry sight, eh? On a similar note - The use of Ethanol in gasoline at the pump has got to be the single greatest thing that ever happened to lawnmower sales and small engine mechanics.

Nope, no trailer or wagon work yet.. maybe sometime this winter though!

I'm baaack!! Sorry, it's been awhile. I picked up an '82 Yamaha Maxim for free a few months back so that's been soaking up my time and creative energy... and somehow ended up matching the Helmo a little.. go figure, eh? I finally laid down those scallops tonight.. still intend to add the white...

That's a pretty sweet little mower.. almost looks like it rode that low from the factory? Got some taillights from the truck stop.. had to use some PVC pipe to get clearance for the pulleys inside the chassis but I think they look pretty cool. Also got the back seat pad made but I think I'm...

Went to the dump today to drop off some tree branches & stuff.. spotted this laying in the scrap metal pile so I thought of you & snagged it. I have a daughter that turns 3 this month so I'm trying to talk myself into letting her have it instead of turning it into a cart for the Helmo. [ddd...

Welcome from South Dakota!

Thanks for looking everyone! millaway31 - didja' keep the deck on that badboy & cut some grass with it? :D I'm also working on mounting some bullet-style led taillights. I had to fab some taillight bezels out of 3" PVC pipe to make them work - don't judge me [ddd

Got a little seat cushion slapped together. I banged it out pretty quick but I think it turned out pretty cool. I tried to get my Fiance' to do some red stitching but she couldn't figure out the sewing machine.. might try that again later this week.. Moon stickers too! :D

cool stuff man I love it! [cl Got me thinking about building a cart to tow behind the Helmo! :D

Trying to decide how I'm going to do the scallops... I'm pretty sure it's going to end up something like this

OOOoohh yeah, she's almost there!!! Got the paint slapped on & 90% reassambled.. still need to put the deck back together and hook it up. Scallops will be coming over the next few days. My buddy and I killed a mini-keg of Heineken last night & stripped all of the paint off of it. I think I'm...

Sorry to keep my legion of adoring fans waiting! :D Tins are painted.. primer on the frame, deck, & seat pan.. still gotta figure out what I'm going to do for a seat. Mine was pretty well shot from sitting outside. We tried to sew up a black vinyl seat cover but found out quickly that we are...

Cripes that thing has to be a bear to mow with! Cool idea though and looks like you did a nice job on it! I got paint on the tins last night - should be able to put primer on the frame, deck, & seat pan tonight and hope to be pretty much done by the end of this weekend. More pics to come...
