Well I have a monster truck show to do next weekend. Time has gotten away from me as usual. I have to strip the mower and get it painted. 23 degrees outside and snowing. But can't let thet stop me. Look here at the sidepanel of the frame. As you can see I have started stripping it all down for paint. Sheet metal is already in the shop (10x10) sanded primed sanded again and painted, as you will see in upcoming pictures. Anyways to slick up the look of the chassis and give more decal room, I had some Thin aluminum panels made that I pop rivet on to cover all the holes. The panels are nothing more than race car sheet metal. You can get it in all colors but the black was free. So I took it. Here is the sheetmetal/body work. Its all painted up in the new colors. E.C.Distributing RED. I actually like it better than the blue. My daughter is heart broken. She is so emotional for a 9 year old. Everytime she see's the new color or it's mentioned she sulk's up and cry's. She know's she won't see her friends on the US circut no more unless they come to one of our races. That is what sucks of this all more than anything. Anyways enough of that. The frame is now in the shop as I type primed. Tomorrow I hope to have it sanded and the color sprayed before the big Race. Will just have to see. Then Monday I will start assembly.

Well the frame was painted this morning about 8am. Had to get up early to get er done. I didn't want to miss the big race (Daytona 500). I will get pictures up later. Tomorrow night I will start reassembly of the mower. And hopefully get a couple pictures of the finished mower up before we head off to the monster truck show in Mississippi. MOW later.

Well this was midnight Monday Night. The rear half completly done. Brakes back on and bled, Even got my famous brake lights on and wired and working. Gotta have the brake lights its my signature. Tuesday evening, Ok gone as far as I can in the shop. Its short sleeves again believe it or not. Back out on the lift. Motor on tranny in clutch on drive is complete. Just gotta add the chain and exhaust then hood and grill. OH notice all the BILLET. Part of mt sponosrship. E.C.Distributing. I am running the 8" and 5" billet pulley's we make and the billet clutch assy. Tranny plate chain tensioner and front axle assy. Well here is what you all have been looking for 10pm at night after a few laps in the front yard. Yup I got street lights out here in the country and can ride at night. And no close neibhors. The first look at the newly painted 07 EC Distributing, Bertrand Hydraulics, Digatron, Precsion cams, ARC Racing, herrin Motor Sports Chassis and engines Amsoil, SUPER SPORTSMAN. Sorry I sounded like a commerciial. I couldn't resist it. Here is another look. I havn't put the lense in yet because I havn't figured out what color I am gonna paint it. SILVER or BLACK or maybe even yellow A yellow number same as on the hood and another sponsor logo yellow and white will be on it. Your thoughts. I will take it to work tomorrow and make a new shifter my welder finally died (wore out) and put a transmission/:censored: cover on, make a chain gaurd. And she will be done. This is chassis no.7 by the way.

Mower looks awesome! But for another nichel it would have been red. Billit pulleys on bottom should be smooth.Decals show up real good. When you said you was going for a change or something different this should do it. Can't wait to see it on the track in action!!!! Looking forward to the weekend!!!

I like the first picture it shows more except the hand isn't up, but all in all it is a good action picture.

Hey George didn't you say on another forum that the guy behind you in the last photo is running a single cylinder flatty and keeping up with the v-twins? I need some of that motor!!! I guess it's top secret though.
