[24] "Blood Shot" Race Mower

#Buildoff2024


Finally getting back at it again, this time round ima do a straightforward race mower. it's an old project I started when I was younger and now I'm too big to fit in the old racer. Plans for the project go as such, new tube frame, wider & shielded rear fenders, live rear axle, Peerless 700 transmission, hopped to the moon Intek V-twin model 40, bumpers, go-kart style steering, and possibly a wheelie bar for drag racing. My apprenticeship has been going well and have been able to have a MUCH more stable cash flow, so hopefully updates will be more frequent.

I only have one concern.  When you say tube frame.  Do you have an example?  Pic of your idea?  Just making sure it isn't going to be a racing go-kart with tractor body parts.

Something like this but with the older craftsman frames that were like 3in thick at the front and 8-10 in the back, past the dash, obviously underneath the original frame. I'm trying to build it to uslmra rules, just for convenience.

Looks good!  I see no issue.

Today got my transmission mount prepped up, gona work on the sub frame here in the next week

Got the frame taken apart and cut in half for lengthening, had an image of it before hand but it got corrupted , but now im preparing to widen it about 2 in

Got it cut up the rest of the way with what little time I had today, and got it all tacked together as well.

Been a while, kinda forgot to post some updates in-between, but here is what I got going so far, welded the 3 pieces of frame back together, got the subframe all fitted and welded in, goal is to prevent as much frame flex as I can, also relized after fitting everything up my front axle is 9in forward of where it should be... and currently working on starting the rear fenders, don't have any pictures at the moment of that but I'll get some posted tomorrow hopefully.
