What i've been up to.... LOL

So I bought a Snapper mower used from a place we affectionately call, "The Deliverance Lawn Mower Shop."
Ran decent, but there was surface rust EVERYWHERE. It was bad, but my Minitrucker intuition told me I could fix it!
So I sanded it down, painted it flat black, and painted the engine Candy Green... (Rat Rod-ish)
Fast Forward one year... rust is coming back. SO! I said "I have an idea....!"
And that idea snow balled into what you see below, I just finished it today.

















Mods:
"Rare" Rattle Can Gold Metal flake paint, w/ like 10 coats of clear.
Hand laid pinstriping
"Moon" style wheel covers
Smoothed sidewall tires
Straight exhaust
Most everything that isn't painted gold is painted gloss black.


I know there is alot of little shish messed up, just details.... but hey, its a flip'n Lawn Mower!
And I think its FN saaweett!

It was farily easy the part that sucked the most was sanding all that clear w/o cutting into the flake.

The straight exhaust was supa easy, I had the pipe sitting here, so I just angle cut it, welded it to the factory manifold.
Sprayed it with 1000 degree exhaust paint. (Had sitting around from the manifolds on my caddy)
