Looks good man, I like how you try to build a fast lowered racer but on a real low budget. There’s a lot of creativity right there

that Intake has been redone, the track that we ran on last year was pretty flat. had a few bumps and dips, but with the IncredibileMulch and the Mowrider, I took care of rest of them.

as for a quick safe Build, Thats all I can do anymore, is work on Racers, see I have Advanced Optic Neourpathy in my left eye, Thanks to having 2 strokes last year I can't do Auto Upgholstery anymore, :doh: So after 38 years of doing it, I have retired from it. So all I do how is bluid racers for people here. Since last Jan. I have Built 4 Mowchines with no Ploblems, As for the low Budget, I have a friend who have a lawnmower business, what he doesn't want, I get for free. As for metal, also a friend works for junk yard, Metal, FREE. :woo:
I am working on building a bigger and better track soon, I will find out next month.
Thanks

It's great to see you doing something constructive with your time. Too many let an illness or their health become an excuse to quit living.
My hats off to ya' ZZ!

Now, can I see some more up close of that intake?
Bert stole my cookies!!
 I think he used them to bribe Ed into something naughty?

Looks like the carb is bolted right to the motor, with a couple of plastic intakes bolted together to fasten the air cleaner to.

The Carb is bolted to the engine, was the only way i could get it to work.  :bash: Does work great, :doh: I just added the intakes to get it up higher so the breather would work right, :omg:
